I think I am emetophobic and it is stressing me out during bfeeding

[Moulesfrites]

I have always had a bit of a problem with vomiting and a fear of choking - sometimes even being with someone with a cough makes me nervous, and at the minute I am struggling with this when bfeeding my ds who is 12 days old. I panic if he coughs after feeding, as if some has gone down the wrong way, and I worry about him choking when I wind him or when he brings up milk. Is there anything I can do to ease my anxiety?

How horrible for you

I think you should see your GP about your anxieties. I think perhaps some therapy (cognative behavioural?) might help. Not sure what someone on here can say to help other than to offer sympathy of course. Have you spoken to any professionals about your worries?
