Baby accident fears. :(

Sometimes I think of everything that could happen to my Daughter. I watch a fire in a film and imagine her burning in it, (I do not enjoy it at all, I love her with every fibre of my being). I just worry it might happen to her...or if I have a cup of hot tea, I imagine it falling all over her little head...sometimes I can hear her cries and it breaks me. Am I some wierd freak, or do I worry too much?

    Your first child, I'm guessing? First-time parents are almost obsessively worried about their kids. Given that the focus of the obsession is the safety of a child, I don't see it's a bad thing.

  • Yes, she must be your first, you are suffering from paranoia. You are worried and constantly stressed over anything that can possibly happen to her.honestly, she is a curious human being, and as a parent it is the worst feeling knowing that you can't protect her from everything in this world, it is physically impossible, and becoming frantic over what is reality is mentally straining. All I can advise you to do is to let her see the world, and don't make her intimidated by it's dark side, because to her, you are the strongest person in the world. What will she think if you are shaking in your boots? Goodluck :)

    I think its normal we are ttc I'm not pregnant yet and I'm already worried about all the things that could go wrong miscarriage birth defects etc its driving me mad we want a baby more than anything we've been planning to conceive for three years wanted to get every thing in order financial etc now we are actually trying every time I watch TLC and something terrible happens during a pregnancy I get scared what if that happens to me thoughts like that fill my head I'm guessing its because the baby is wanted so much I feel something will go wrong as I sort of see my life like that whenever something great happens I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop I'm working to get over that fear though because whenever I do get a positive pregnancy test I want to be super happy and have a good non paranoid pregnancy

    It's normal momma.
    That's how I am with my little one. I just try not to be so overbearing, and paranoid, it tends to make her nervous.
    Good luck!

    You are a parent. Of course you will fear bad things happening to her.

    Just what dappled said.

    Must be your first. Just try to not overprotective. Then they will be fearful of everything.

    Congrats on the little one. It's very normal to want to protect her with every fiber of your being. It's a mothering instinct. Just don't become one of those obsessive women who try to keep their child in a bubble. That is just as bad for them.
