Constantly worrying about children's health!

Hi,

I gave two sons who are 2 and 3 months. I've always been a bit of a worrier and do overthink everything but it's got so bad and I don't know what to do. I'm constantly worrying about their health and if they catch something that it is stopping me going places And doing things. It's my mil birthday next week and she is having a get together at hers and I'm a nervous wreck. I keep thinking what if someone there has a cold and passes it to my baby and he gets it really bad and it progresses to bronchitis and so on. I know it's normal for mums to worry but surely not this badly? I told myself once baby turned 3 months I would start taking him to sensory classes but now he's 3 months I keep telling myself I'll wait until the weather gets better and there's less colds and germs about. It's really worrying and I have a constantly horrible feeling at the back of my head. I understand children get sick etc but I'm always imagining the worst and it's really starting to get me down. I sound really silly I know but wondered if anybody had any advice xx

Courtney, I have no advice but I'm constantly worrying about this too. Hope someone will come along soon with some more advice.
