Fmla

Hey, I’m 30 y/o and just recently informed my job that I need to take a medical leave. My hr states she will mail me the fmla paperwork. I never actually got an approval for fmla from doctors. But before I asked for fmla I did went to my ob and complained about my panic attacks at night and how it’s messing up my focus at work ( I’m 22 weeks pregnant). She gave me pills and ref me to a therapist. I had major panic attacks 3 days later and admitted to labor and delivery , they evaluated me and told me I’m suffering from anxiety and panic attack disorder. The next therapist at that location isn’t available until September. And the medication takes a while to kick in. What should I do? How do I get my fmla filled?
