Mom of 2, pregnant & worrying

jasrun80

hi there! I have a 3.5 yr old boy, a 18 month old girl & am pregnant with a third, due in May.

I am finding that I'm over worrying as I get closer to having 3, and I am growing very very clingy to my son & my every move, hoping I'm doing it "right" as I raise my two little ones.

my son is in preschool & gets colds often, but tonight he woke with a barking cough, likely croup. this is obviously an upsetting sound but I know that type of cold is not usually too serious. my husband is a DR (but he's an Ortho, not internal medicine or anything) and he eases my worry based on immediate medical concerns but I'm still left worrying inside.

I'm finding myself over worrying to the point of getting into deep sadness & concerns of losing one of my children. I happen to be reading about conquering worry and he woke up practically choking on his throat and gagging coughs out panicking. I raced up to him freaking out but acted calm & my husband is sleeping in his room with him tonight because I'm a nervous wreck.
I know it's normal to be on high alert while your chikdren are sick, but I fear mine will die. I would love some input. I plan to see my therapist & I'm starting zoloft once my third is born.
does every mother worry this severely?
