Irrational Fears??

Question

This is supposed to be a fun question :)

Anyone have any ridiculous, irrational fears while pregnant? One day, when I was around 5 months I became very upset that we didn't have any clothes or socks for our baby yet...I'm crying to my husband that our poor little girl will have to be naked all the time and her feet will be cold...nevermind that I had MONTHS yet to go! I laugh about it now...but I was soooo worried at the time.

Anyone else have funny stories?

Answer 1

When I was 7 months pregnant my husband painted the baby's room pink because we were sure it was a girl. But, one day I had doubts and started crying that if it was a boy he would be teased for the rest of his life! So, my husband painted it blue. The next day I thought it would be a girl again so he painted the room pink. A week later I started to complain again so he decided to have pink and blue stripes!
It turned out to be twins! ( one boy, one girl)

Answer 2

It's a bit off topic- I was fairly level headed throughout my pregnancy (unlike what I'm like the rest of the time). It was the people around me that were irrational. My in laws wouldn't let me lift anything or get up for anything. One day, they had gotten a few baby things for me, and they came over to drop it off. I expected they wouldn't let me carry anything in, but when they came into the house, I turned on the light and it burned out. I said, "it's ok, I'll just turn on the one next to it and change that out later" but they insisted on changing it for me! There my father in law was on a stool with his arms up in the air waiting for me to find a bulb. They believed that old wives tale about lifting your arms above your head and wouldn't let me do it! Next time I'm pregnant, I'm tempted not to tell them until it's obvious, just so I can get things done...

I worried that my daughter would fall into the lion pit at our zoo. I also worried about her getting hit by a car when she was riding her bike. Like you, I was probably about 5 months pregnant at the time. I would just obsess about it. It really helped me to keep a journal during my pregnancies. Somehow writing my fears down helped me to look at them rationally. (At least after the kids were born.)

Answer 4

i would make endless lists. i was O.C.D. about making lists. i would make all different kinds, like what i needed to take to the hospital, what i didn't need to take, what kinds of medicines i had taken, where i had been that day, what i had eaten that day, what i was going to do tomorrow. yata yata yata....If i messed up a word on the list, then i would have to tear the page out a start all over again. it was crazy. The list making went on after i had my 1st son. i would document every time he ate something, everytime he pooped, how much he had eaten (down to the ounce), how long it had taken him to eat the bottle. it was crazy. I soon realized how crazy and insane i was becoming....it stopped soon after that.

Answer 5

Answer 6

ya that happens... I was sleeping one night and I had a dream that my fiance didnt love the baby, when i woke up i was crying and i was really mad at him for a few hours. I felt really bad about it after but at the time, it felt right. it happens... just roll with it.
