Ive become one of those paranoid mums!

[leanne1b]

Hi......
I literally think Im driving myself demented.
So, as u all know, my bub worries me a lot, and god only knows how many times Ive posted on the Kids ~Health bit now!

Theres no "one" thing that worries me... its the things together.
He had "the" rash a few weeks ago, but fine in himself, got him checked in case, they were okay with him. The rash is now starting to fade... In this time, hes coughing a lot, suddenly started vomiting - not LOADS, but he had never been a puker, his temp goes up and down, still has all his breathing issues, still has the lump on his neck, and isnt "sleepy" as such, but sleeping much more than normal. Still does 11/12 hrs a night, but gone from about 45 mins sleep during the day, to about 4 hours.
And the irritability! Oh dear god. Hes screaming at least 60% of the time hes awake. And I mean screaming lol.
Can one of u drive to london and give me a slap to stop me being so frigging off the head. I am being paranoid aren't I? I dont really even know what Im worried about, I just have a feeling something is wrong? Does that make sense?

Don't really know what it could be, but have u been doing anything differently? Could just be a little bug or something, we all have off weeks xxx

 

[leanne1b]

Yeah that's what rational me is thinking. But over protective anxiety me is a worrier lol.
No, nothing different at all that I can think of? X

 

[pinkymum]

Do you suffer from PND hun? X

 

[Zazu]

I'm sure it's nothing, might be worth a call to your hv just to put your mind at rest? I'm a worrier too, I think most mums are! X

 

[leanne1b]

Yup pinky. Poppin away my pills, asked for counselling over 4 months ago and heard nothing. Which is y it's bothering me because I think a large amount of my worrying is coz of that x
And yeah. Think I'll say it next time he gets weighed or have to go to the doctors x

 

[titch]

Does themedicine youre on have a leaflet of sideeffects? Some of them actually cause anxiey

Being a mother does make your a bit paranoid anyway though, when you become pregnant you start being told to look out for all these symptoms then when the baby is little they obsess over feeding and weight gain. Its no surprise that we end up paranoid! My LO had a really high temp yesterday and i completely lost it to panic, I was convinced he was gonna start fitting any second and was visualising him in hospital etc... turns out he has tonsilitis, which isnt nearly as dramatic

 

[leanne1b]

Lol at tiny . Im not sure I shud checkthat. But e always had anxiety to be fair.
Funnily enuf they have never worried about his feeding or weight gain, except when he's been in hospital, coz he's a chunky little monkey lol.
See, even just talkin here is makin me chill out.
I'm such a knob x

 

[titch]

youre not a knob. I aways feel better after posting on here. I think thats why Im addicted

 

[Rayoflight]

Hun you're not a knob! I have been a mess all week worrying over nothing. It's horrible but judging by the replies I got when I posted about it - it's normal! We all worry. It's part and parcel of being a mummy xxx

 

[Amy_J]

im in london i'll come and give you a smack lol!!! only kidding...im exaaaactly the same... my lo got sticky eye when he was afew days old and i convinced myself he was going to go blind!!! then i got myself worked up that he couldnt hear cos he didnt seem to respond to me etc etc & hes perfectly fine lol!!!! arghhh. like rayoflight said tho its all part of being a mummy!!!!

 

[leanne1b]

Thanks to all of ur replies, I really appreciate them. N def feel better knowing it's more common than I thought, coz I guess in essence, other than the rash and breathing thing (which is basically the norm for him now), im stressing about a cold aren't I?
Christ. Thinking about it I should laugh really x

 

[Lander]

If you really, really need that slap, I'm only up the road, same goes if you need to get out to have drink or something

Mostly yes, OH keeps telling his mates about it lol. Kinda scared too but hey, I really would be nuts if I wasn't remotely worried about it.....

 

[emmaandamyleigh]

Could he be teething Amy was like this when she start teething is he feeding ok too

 

[leanne1b]

Point blank won't touch solids, except banana porridge which he'll unwillingly eat. Milk... Not reduced a worrying amount but down to about 75% of normal. It's just weird how, other than the breathing, it all started around the time the rash came up- about a month ago I'd guess.
It could be teething.. But the rash concerns me a bit. It faded about a week ago, but reappeared pull blown on his back yesterday and is running a low temp again so my bf is taking him to the doc in half hour, basically so they can tell us were being paranoid. Which I'm fine with, as long as I know it Is just us being paranoid x
