I have one ds10 and am pregnant with number two. I don't know if it's my hormones or whatever but lately I'm so worried about my son. I have no particular reason. He is healthy and happy and well. But I just keep thinking of all these horrible scenarios in which he could be hurt or abducted and things like that.
He is going abroad with his dad and their wider family in summer and this is playing on my mind hugely. I just keep thinking he'll be so far away and what if he gets lost or falls ill or has an accident? I'm dreading it.
It's maybe to do with all the bad and scary things happening in the world at the moment but all of these intrusive thoughts are getting me down. The logical part of me knows that no amount of worrying can change what will be. But I can't stop it. I lie awake at night picturing all of this horrible scenarios and winding myself up.
I think I also hold some guilt and anxiety about how the new baby will always be with me and my dh whereas ds goes between us and his dad which is obviously the right thing but still makes me feel a bit odd. Am I going crazy?
