My baby is 9 months now but I still have thoughts of scary things happening to her?

its called being a parent we all do it no matter what age they are

I am so sorry that you simply believe this manner. I've been there. I even tried it. Might be you simply want a while far from the whole thing. Do you have got any associates that might be you would go on a trip with? Typically all of us simply have to take a wreck and treat ourselves. I've a good husband, and 3 youngsters and i do know the overwhelming feelings that you are feeling - nugatory, worn out, horrible ideas, and so forth. I've finished that. I went to the doctors and obtained placed on medication for a while, and after a whilst, I received off of them. Often this does support, but no longer in all cases. You can are attempting writing your ideas, as you probably did in the poem, or possibly there's a help team with different moms on your field. With 4 children, and 1 being 9wks historic, you have got each correct to be overwhelmed. Please do not think that suicide is a technique out. You will then be leaving your husband and your kids with out you and that's not the right way to go. God does not offer you more than he thinks that you would be able to control. Just take a seat back, chill out, and check out to take your self to a blissful place. I'm hoping that everything works out for you.

I am a worrier so can sympathise. They say that SIDS risk is reduced at either 4 months or 6 months depending who you listen to. You have therefore got through this so YAY! - but when I was your stage kept thinking of a friend of a friend whose child was lost at 15 months old.

Then my daughters new school has a special memorial garden for a child who lived local and was run over on the road. Now we are not local but the road outside our house (nearly a mile away) is 100x as busy as the ones near the school EEK.

I don't think you are excessive just a naturally good mum, it would become excessive if you let it dominate your life and considerably restrict the life of your little one.

I try and console myself with the fact my mum has a happy healthy adult child so hopefully I will to.

My baby girl is 9 years old and I still worry that something is going to happen to her when I'm not there. What if she is walking from recess and trips on the sidewalk and busts her head open in some freak accident? Every once in a while I have a fear that something is going to happen to her and I won't be there to prevent it. I think it is just mom's who are protective and whose kids mean the most to them who worry so much. I don't think it's excessive at all. By the way I do it with my 2 yr old baby boy too! :)

I know exactly what you're going through. I have a 5 month old and I have those same horrible thoughts. I'm afraid I'll trip over the dog while i'm holding her or something. I hardly sleep at night sometimes because I have to check on her so frequently. It's horrible, but I always just tell myself that I'm over reacting and I try to think about something else.

I happy to see it isn't just me. My son is 15 months now and I don't have the worries as much as I did but I still have to check on him every now and then just to make sure. I check to see if he's breathing still all the time. I used to worry I would fall down and he'd hit his head or I'd drop him. Some situations would worry about were really out there and ridiculous. I think it's just part of being but some moms have more vivid imagination.

I do the same exact thing. My daughter is thirteen months, and is already walking and talking. Before I go to bed at night, I will always go and check on her because I always have an eerie feeling like she may not be breathing. And like you said up above, this is just one year out of the MANY that you will be worrying!! lol. Don't feel wierd at all, your concerns are more then normal!! :)

my girls are 9 and 6 and I still worry almost every minute. When we go to the playground, I worry about them falling or getting hurt. I worry about them getting abducted. I am a worrier. I thought something was wrong with me but my friend is the same way. I check on them 2 times during the night and have even called the school to check on them, though I don't make a habit of it.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic or long-term illness, and without treatment, symptoms typically come and go over time and may significantly interfere with your ability to work and have a family. Treatment can reduce the severity of the illness, and although some symptoms may linger after treatment, you should be able to have an active social life, raise a family, and work.

Anxiety is the most prominent symptom of OCD. For example, you may have an overall sense that something terrible will happen if you don't follow through with a particular ritual, such as repeatedly checking to see whether the stove is on. If you don't perform the ritual, you may have immediate anxiety or a nagging sense of incompleteness.

Symptoms of OCD vary with each person and include the following:

Obsessive thoughts

Fear of dirt or germs or overconcern about body smells/secretions or the proper functioning of the body

Overconcern with order, neatness, and exactness

Fear of thinking bad thoughts or doing something embarrassing

Constantly thinking of certain sounds, words, or numbers or a preoccupation with counting or checking

Constant need for approval or the need to apologize

Fear that something terrible will happen or fear of harming yourself or someone else

Just try to relax, and think about positive things. Sometimes we get so worked up about stuff, but in reality everything we get worked about is no big deal. Just take thing slow and relax. Also try to do other things to take your mind of the negative things like reading or music.

I feel the same way and my daughter is 11 months. I think I have actually gotten worse over it as she got older! Its horrible, I hate worrying about her so much but I can't help it! I hope it passes. It really doesn't sounds excessive, it just means you really love her. :)
