For anyone who has children, how are your stress levels with yourself? I mean are you at all concerned with your own health, more so than what you were before you had baby(ies). I am so fregging paranoid since I had my child that it is consuming my entire life.

No seriously!

I never used to be like this, and it is starting to get me down. Way back in sept. I had a cyst removed, and I thought I had cancer. That stressed me out for a long time...Now.. I have this chest/breast/heart pain, that is being looked into. I over react. I'm thinking I have breast cancer/lung cancer/ might have a heart attack, have a enlarged heart, heart murmur...Or something..That will involve me dying.

Before I had my baby, I could care less what happened to me. But know I love him so much that I get sick to my stomach thinking about what would happen to him if I died.

I don't think I would approve of my hubby with another woman around him. I don't want another woman taking my place, as mommy. He is my baby!!!

Has anyone ever thought of that?..

I am soo scared...I go for chest xrays tomorrow..What if something is there????

I swear paranoia definitely comes with motherhood.

You're not alone!

I stress more than before my son was born but I am usually calm. I have that heart/ breast area pain and I had to have my heart checked and I was told it was nothing, probally just your heart loving your son so much, I know thats true for me.

It's natural to stress more and worry about your health and future and lifespan after you have kiddos. I want to stay alive as long as possible so my baby doesn't have to be without me for any longer than he has to!! (or me without him, I guess)

good luck on your xrays!!!!
