Now that I'm 23 months post partum and (slowly slowly) feeling less anxious, I'm keen to hear anyone else's biggest or darkest fears they had (or are currently having) during the first year of becoming a parent.
I'd love to hear what your worries were, whether about your birth / sleep / weaning / body / relationships.
Two of mine were:
- That my son would choke on the stones on our front drive. I actually considered finding a different place to rent because I was convinced he would die as soon as we played out there.
- Because I ended up breastfeeding on only one side, that that breast will end up a lot saggier than the other. Jury's still out on that one!
