Totally Irrational Fears - Post yours here!!!!

[LaineyG]

Hello All!

Thought I'd start a thread on Irrational Fears. Here's your chance to air all those daft fears you have during pregnancy!

TMI is welcome!

I'll start the ball rolling....

I'm convinced that every time I have to REALLY push a number two out that I'm going to dislodge LO! I'm pretty sure it's one of the main reasons for my constipation during second tri!

So come on girls, what silly things have you imagined?

I've got a really bad cold at the moment and sneezing sooooo much, honestly about 10 times in one go, i get worried and clamp my legs closed with every sneeze, scared its either gonna dislodge someone or pee myself

Me too! No later than today I had this fear!

a few other ones:

The sneezing one - typical. I feel that everytime I sneeze or cough I will crush my baby

Same for when I bend, I get scared I'm gonna crush little bean

I never zip my trousers these days, for fear of crushing little bean!

I don't run anymore - for the same reason, that bean will slowly slip out of me

 

[Moomum]

This is soooo funny! I think ALL of these things! Aren't we daft

My Other half, SAID..... "I think it's kinda crowded in there now ! " During love making...... I mean really.... I still have over 20 weeks to go.... and he thinks he is "bumping" into baby.... Goodness me.. basic biology anyone? ? ?

Yeah I get scared when I bend, and I won't curl up with my legs under me on the sofa anymore incase I bend baby in half

Plus the obvious pooing one- it's mad isn't it?!!

My worst one is having the bath too hot, I am scared I might boil the LO so I have been freezing my butt off in luke warm baths!!!

I also refuse to push the trolley in the supermarket as the bar is right at bump height and I worry some nutter might ram me!! (wierder things have happened at our local morrison's)!! So I make either my OH or my sis come with me and take control of the trolly pushing!

I am also with you on the sneezing, bending and pooing ones.............. am I paranoid or what

I've got over most of mine now but some of them were:

* Going to the loo, I'd almost try not to incase I'd push LO out (or he'd fall out etc)
* Sneezing/Coughing...anything that squashed my tummy up
* Squashing LO in bed at night (I love sleeping on my tummy - it's been so hard not to...although now I couldn't if I tried!!)
* Baby dying before birth - this still worries me acutally (even on days he's kicking away or I can hear him clear on the doppler etc)
* Eating/drinking something he doesn't like
* Going to the supermarket (shops/mall etc) without DH for "protection"
* Bumping into things/people

I'm sure there are countless others I can't think of just now. Basically though I'm sure we've all come up with similar ones and I think I've over worried about LO at times so chances are if your worried about it I've been there and worried about it too!!

Eating or drinking something he doesn't like!!!! What's the worse that can happen? lol

One of mine is when I get a fright, like a door banging suddenly which makes me catch my breath and my heart race. I always wonder if the adrenaline surge affects the baby too!

 

[frangelle]

Of course, the ironic thing is, that worrying actually affects your baby more than any of these things!!!
