am i the only worrier here? im stressing all the time

[skittlewatson]

So ive a 19 month and 10 week old . I always worried with my eldest but i think i worry more now with no.2. I constantly check her temp,Check to see if shes breathing etc. Today for instance my eldest fell onto baby in her bouncy chair.his hands went into her chest,she laughed,no tears and carried on staring at the toy above her but i panicked and checked her over even though she didnt even cry. I feel so daft panicking all the time. And why more this time i will never know. Anyone else over worry?

im a worrier through and through. I was bad before my son was born about something happening to me or my husband but now i have my 5 month old son its in overdrive. I not only worry about him constantly ie is he getting enough food, does he have a temp ect but the worries about me and my husband have multiplied as i obviously want us all to live a long and happy life together.

Its a mothers nature to worry about her children but i know i worry too much.

I'm the same, I worry about thing far too much. I always panicked about something happening to me or my husband, but now my fears are concentrated on my LO. I posted earlier panicking about breastfeeding my LO after eating something that had been in the same cupboard as a bottle of mouldy honey and I think that is down to being a worrier.

When my LO was first born I set myself hourly alarms to check he was still breathing, which really helped the sleep deprivation! x

So good to know im not alone. My son is so accident prone so he sends my ticker into over drive lol
Omg i did the hourly checks too, infact i didnt sleep at all the first night homelol

I worried majorly about ds1 which did start to ease off...but then I had ds2...and when he was 4 week old ds1 started having epileptic siezures and now I worry all the time about both of them! xxx

I'm actually to the point where I have set up an appointment with my doctor to discuss it. I think I'm suffering from serious anxiety & may need medication

Me too. I constantly worry about every little thing with LO. It drives everybody crazy.

I feel like I have been given this precious perfect little gift and I just want everything to be perfect for him. Hardest thing I've had to learn as a new mom is that you can't protect them from everything. Wish I could tho.

Cccbb61013I was on anti-anxiety medication before falling pregnant and I did find it helped. I hated having to take medication but my life was so miserable it was worth doing. I hope you find something that helps, Sertraline was the best for me. Citalopram made me a mess but works wonders for some, and Seroxat really helped, but the side effects if I missed a dose were horrible.

The mould I mentioned panicking about was in fact just a shadow but I was too scared to touch the bottle to see it properly… x
