I can't explain mild anxiety attacks while pregnant.....?

I will be just laying there or sitting there, nothing in particular upsetting me, and get that sick anxiety feeling in my stomach and my heart starts pounding. It feels like when I am going somewhere I am unsure about or have to talk to someone about something I don't want to. I feel like a ton of butterflys in my stomach. I don't know why though. It has happened twice in the last 24 hours and one other time at the end of last week. Twice I was laying down and now I am just sitting at my desk at work. I don't know what this is, but it is starting to bother me.

Update:

I am 15 weeks pregnant.

Update 2:

This is my first.

    Well, I know this is supposed to be the happiest time, but I went through the same thing. Being pregnant and the thought of my ACTUALLY being a parent scared the crap out of me. I had anxiety attacks all the time.

    Talk this over with your doctor, they should be able to help. But trust me, if someone tells you you're being ridiculous, don't listen to them. This is a huge, life-altering event that's taking place. You'll be fine. If I can get through it, I think anyone can!
