I spend most of my day worrying

Snowball · Nov 9th, 2009, 09:30 AM

I honestly thought that when Ozzie was here the paranoia over something being wrong would end but it's still going.

Last night I was up at 1am googling rapid eye movement only to find out what I thought was something seriously wrong is actually normal. I feel like I'm going mad, I know my hormones are all over the place but I just can't stop panicking. My DH thinks I'm going crazy, it took all my will to send my DD back to school last week as I'm so worried she's going to catch swine flu. I think I need a good slap tbh

Please tell me this is hormonal and it'll stop?

Sending a big hug rather than a slap!

And congrats on the birth of your son. I think when my baby was a week I was still crying at least twice a day over nothing, i think it is the same kind of thing, because the hormone changes after you give birth are pretty major! Plus it's so so normal to worry about stuff all the time, I don't know anyone who doesn't...Just get lots of hugs from your DH, try and enjoy your baby and I hope it will pass soon....

Congrats! and yes, totally normal. Those hormones are a trip, eh?

I spend an inordinate amount of time worrying, too. DH has said he's going to 'lock' google, so I can stop googling everytime I am worried.

I think it goes with the territory - but sometimes my worrying can just go mad!

You are not alone

grumpymoo · Nov 10th, 2009, 05:57 AM

oh bless you. its soooooo normal. I think it what being a mum is all about!

I worry about everything, especially swine flu

But really, whats the point. my worrying will not change a thing!

I do think it calms down as time goes on though. I have always been a worrier!
Congratulations on little Ozzie

Hi there, i definitely worry like mad too. i googled about a light in my ds (aged 3) phot and thought he had an eye cancer, turned out when i went to see gp his eye is fine. still taking him to optician too though to be sure!! (lol) try and stay away from google, think i have learnt my lesson. but having said that after losing my kieran i worry more and i am sure that is normal too. sending you hugs. your a great mum and all mums worry its part of our job description. x

At that stage, if I was only crying twice a day it was a good day!!

It's all totally normal hon, you're doing great

I know how you feel. My girl is 8 days old (my first) and this has to have been the hardest week of my life! I just found/find it so hard to 'switch off'-ever! I am slowly getting there as if I didn't I would be in a nut house by now! But this is a good'ish day, who knows how I will feel tonight/tomorrow! x
