 I wrote this on 0-3 as well, but i figured you ladies could give me some good advice as well.

I was initially just going to keep this to mylelf until it went away, but it isnt. So i am just wondering if i should be concerned and talk to my doctor or wait and see if it goes away.. Almost everyday and everynight without fail i think about the fact that one day i am not going to be here and i wont get to see my beautiful baby girl anymore. I end up bawling my eyes out, and my chest tightens, and i can't stop my thoughts from going there.

What do you think?

I think we all have those thoughts from time to time - and I think that's normal. However, these thoughts shouldn't consume you and make you physically ill. Don't keep these feelings to yourself - it might help you to talk about them with your dh/mother/good friend/priest/etc. If you still feel consumed by these thoughts, talk with your OB and ask for a reference for a therapist.

GL!

I felt this way almost exactly when my DD, Amelia was born. In the hospital I remember feeling "scared" of how much I loved her. I felt close to death for some reason, I don't know how else to explain it - like a rude awakening to my mortality. I cried constatnly at how much I loved her and how scared I would be if anything separated us ( her death or my own) I couldn't stop thinking about death whenever I thought about her birth. Did you have an emergency c-secion or crazy delivery at all? I sometimes think that had something to do with mine. It did go away when she was about 2 months, out of the newborn stage. I didn't say anything to my dr. but looking back, maybe I should have. But in my case it did pass.

Please discuss this with your doctor, if anything you have an outlet for your feelings.  They are quite normal.
