Hi All!

My wife is 38 weeks pregnant with our first child. Before all of this, she battled with anxiety and depression and takes 10MG of Cipralex to help. 

She has been perfectly fine up until a few weeks ago where she started to fixate on a specific anxiety that she used to have where she believed that the drywall on the ceiling of houses was getting lose due to popped screws (it's a super unique phobia, even she hasn't heard of anyone else who has it). 

My thinking is, her 10MG of Cipralex isn't getting fully absorbed because the baby who is now 6lbs 6ounces is taking in her fair share and not giving enough to my wife. 

We have contacted her psychiatrist, but he is on vacation until next week. 

I just want to know if this is normal (anxiety manifesting itself somehow in the last trimester) and if there is any way I can help her? I really do love my wife and just want to make sure she's ok. 

Thanks for reading.
