I feel like a freak!

in February 2011 Moms

Ok... I dont know what my deal is. DS is 16 days old... we had a very scary arrival, (You can read about it here... https://foreverhoneymooner.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-labor-story.html) and now I find myself going completely nuts about so many things.

 I can not even explain how many times I find myself thinking.. Is he breathing right? Why is his chest moving like that? Why is he making so much noise? why cant I hear him? Is he supposed to be breathing that loud?

Im lossing my mind with how much I worry! I wake my husband in the middle of the night to look at DS because hes too quiet or making a weird noise. and Im always finding reasons to get out of bed to put my hand on his chest to make sure hes breathing.

INSANITY! And then.... as if that isnt bad... I get stupid parenting emails about stuff like SIDS.

 Im lossing my mind.

    I'm 100% with you!  We had a rough delivery also, and DS had fluid in his lungs, and was grunting.. so now that I'm at home, every noise he makes makes me worry!  Or if he isn't making noise, I worry... Or if he starts breathing differently, I worry!  I know he is fine, but I can't help worrying!  Sorry I have NO advice, but I wanted you to know that you are not alone and def not a freak!!

    Heck, we had a super easy delivery with DD and we do this too! Moreso my husband than myself (he freaked the first time she got the hiccups) but I am guilty of it too. You are not a freak at all! I think it's a new mother thing.

    get the angelcare baby monitor. it is worth the money. if the alarm isn't going off, your baby is definitely still breathing. it saves your sanity and could save your baby's life. it saved my first child's life.

    I got the angel care monitor that has the mat that goes under baby's mattress. If baby doesnt breathe or move for 30 seconds an alarm goes off. It has really given us piece of mind since dh had a sister pass away from SIDS.

    Lena will be 5 weeks old tomorrow and I still check on her all the time to make sure she's breathing or worry that something is too close to her face and am a freak about worrying about SIDS. It has gotten better, but I still wake up more than she does at night!

    If it makes you feel any better, my son was over 2 by the time I stopped doing this.  I thought I was a total freak, but admitted it to my husband anyways.  Turns out he did it too.
