Reply to comment by thepigfish82 in Pregnant patients with anxiety have altered immune systems: pregnant women with anxiety have higher levels of immune cells cytotoxic T cells and they have differences in the activity of immune markers that circulate in the blood by giuliomagnifico

Same. Except my mom got pregnant with me only 6 months after my (planned) older sister was born and it seems like she had really bad postpartum depression and anxiety. I have so many health issues, mostly autoimmune stuff. I've always wondered if she just didn't take care of herself well during my pregnancy, like as far as eating well and getting exercise, but maybe it was just the anxiety?

Wow, I'm sorry yo hear that. I asked a few specialists and they were dismissive because this isn't a topic that has been widely explored.
