After a difficult pregnancy my beautiful son was born 12 days ago at 35+5. He spent 11 days in NICU and is now home.
The problem is that I am so anxious about everything, mostly worried that something bad will happen to him, eg, suffocating, the cat jumping into his Moses basket, overheating, SIDS, etc.
We have bought a breathing monitor but obviously that won't help if the cat jumps in! I also have a cat net for the Moses basket, and a grow egg, and a thermometer, and both DH and I are responsible people with huge common sense!
How do I get over the fact that there are risks and we have mitigated as best possible and just enjoy my beautiful baby?!
