Intrusive thoughts

I think as a mum you just worry !!

I definitely get this to a point where I feel emotional about it if I think about it too hard 🥲 Hate the thought of not being here for my boy ☹️ I’d say it’s probably quite normal to worry about things like that once you have children but who knows! X

I had horrific intrusive thoughts with my daughter that always revolved around me/someone dropping her. It did help me to know that it's very normal and common for new parents to have some form of intrusive thoughts and to remind myself that they are just worries, not my reality, but I did speak to a counsellor about it (and various other things) and I found it incredibly helpful so I would definitely recommend asking your health visitor or GP for support, or going private and getting a few sessions of counselling. Sorry you are going through this, it's not a nice headspace. Xxx

I’ve been having intrusive thoughts about something horrible happening to baby , really graphic things (like car crashes , dropping him from height, etc etc), my friend said it’s really normal and then I saw an IG reel about it haha so I think it’s very normal with a new baby unfortunately

Thank you so much for your responses! 💕 sorry to hear everyone seems to have the same but also comforting to know it’s not just me! Hopefully it will get better with time and will definitely try some counselling to see if that helps xxx
