Not my best idea

samjodo

This quarter I am taking two clases in developmental neuroscience, which are very interesting, but this week I have been reading about all the things that impact brain development in utero, and how it impacts the child in life.

It has made me sooo paranoid about everything I am doing/eating/breathing/touching or otherwise exposing LO to! I know I have very little to worry about i n all honesty,but that rational part of me does not outweigh the crazy paranoid hormonal part right now.

I guess it's what psychology students feel like when they take abnormal psych and diagnose themselves with everything they read about.,,, lol

I love neroscience and pshychology classes!!

On a funny note, my husband wont let me eat anything with soy protien in it, in the fear that it will transport it to our little boy. He swears up and down that soy protien is bad for men and their testosterone!

I totally had this problem!  In my Psy theory class I went crazy attempting to over-analyze myself.  When learning the signs for diagnosing certain mental illnesses I swore I should have been seeing a psychiatrist.  Lol.

It's hard to ignore that hormonal part of you and focus on reality.  I'm not even taking a class like you are and I still worry about stuff with the pregnancy!  Once I realized I wasn't having another ultrasound after my anatamy scan at 18 wks I freaked.  I'm a super frugal person but have been contemplating paying for the 3D ultrasound just to make myself feel better!  Hang in there...hopefully you'll be onto another topic soon!

I love that kind of stuff, but I know better than to read it if I dont have to.  I would freak out!! I admire your dedication to school!

I totally understand this! When I was in nursing school I was sure I  had everything.  A little knowledge can make you crazy.  And that was years before I was pregnant.  Good luck with your classes.
