Hormones or irrational fears in second pregnancy?

Hi, just wondering if anyone else has had really bad fears about first child during second pregnancy. I'm five months preggers now and have ds who's just turned 2. He's ace but a handful - runs off (other day in to road, Gah!), thinks its funny to stop, look at me and then do exactly whatever he's been told not to do (touching oven, leaning over bath etc.) Most nights I wake up about 3am having some awful thought about my ds getting hurt or someone walking off with him if I'm distracted in the park etc. I'm quite weepy when I think about that sort of thing and I've even started doing things like no cooking in the house when he's awake cos I'm so scared about him reaching up for hot pan handles etc (lots of sandwiches for lunch!). I'm pretty sure it's anxiety about what on earth it'll be like with two but I feel like I'm going a bit nuts. This happen to anyone else and what did you do about it? Thanks x
