I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar feelings.
My daughter is almost 4 months old. I had a previous stillbirth so during this pregnancy was so careful due to covid that I pretty much went to work and that was it as I was so afraid of becoming ill and something happening to my baby after our previous experience.
However, since having my daughter this has not gone away. I am so so scared of her becoming ill by being around others that I have completely isolated myself away from people. A select few people that I do go near I only choose to be around them if they haven't been in any busy places the last few days, will do a covid test and not touch my daughter. Am I being silly? It's such a fear that I am going to lose her that i can't stop thinking about it. I want to be able to feel relaxed and my family and friends spend time with her but I am so afraid. Even the thought of her having just a cold is so awful to me. Yesterday on social media I saw 3 posts of people I follow who's children have hand foot and mouth and I got terrified! I'm not an anxious person in general, I love going out places but recently I don't want too. Unless we stay outside (we do go out but just for walks)
I want to go to baby classes but again I'm so scared as children in general pass germs on so quickly and easily . I feel like im really letting my daughter down, isolating her. What if she resents me for this when she's older. I don't know what to do :(
