Anxiety about DH while TTC - being clingy!

This might sound weird but I’ve started worrying lately about DH staying well and healthy and worry something bad will happen to him before we fall pregnant. I recognise how entirely irrational this is! I don’t seem to worry about myself but I do about him, I always want to check he’s arrived at work ok etc. How do I chill a bit?

I had this too when we first started TTC. You'll chill out a bit naturally with time, but I found it helped me to speak to my own brain and tell myself that I was being ridiculous. So when an anxious thought popped up I'd immediately shut it down with "oh shut uuupppppp". Found it quite useful! 😂

Thank you! I’m so relieved to know I’m not alone in this bizarre way of worrying haha. Guessing your DH was perfectly fine? I’m worried that it’s some kind of intuition but know that’s anxiety talking massively
