When my LO was born I used to have horrible thoughts of falling down the stairs when carrying him, hated going on the motorway as I was adamant we would be in a crash etc
This seemed to have gradually fizzled out as time went on. He's now almost 2 and today we were walking up a busy road and he was wearing his reins. He was happily running along and was safe, not at the road side (super wide path) and I was hugely in control of the situation. In my head I thought "imagine if he ran out and the reins slipped out of my hands" and I've got myself all worked up and upset since and can't get the image from my head.
Is there something wrong with me? I am generally anxious about most things but try to keep it internal but I'm really scaring myself. This can't be normal?
