Pregnancy & Fear of Hurting the baby... Posted: 01-29-08 23:00pm
Am I alone in this?
Im extremely worried because ever since
the first trimester, i've been having
irrational, fearful thoughts of hurting my
baby. I don't want to hurt her, i cry
every time i get them... but i just get
the images in my mind that i might
irrationally hurt the baby after she is
born. They scare the crap outta me and i
know that it is depression related, but i
just need to know that i am not alone.
It's hard for me... this pregnancy thing,
just because i feel like this being is a
stranger to me. There's not much bonding
going on.. while she's in there.
Every time i try to think about all the
good things (picturing her giggles, her
drooling, her birth) these awful thoughts
chime in and overpower me. I try and try
to think back to the positive .. but i end
up crying in the end.
I'm currently starting treatment with a
therapist just because i don't want this
to turn into post partum deppression &
i want this to be taken care of before she
arrives....
I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS JOYFUL
TIME IN MY LIFE ....

I t sounds like evil spirits are trying to
take away your joy....you can always call
on God to take care of your baby when you
don't feel right. I mean that from the
bottom of my heart. In Jesus' name, Amen!
