Is this normal ?

Question

FTM even prior to ever being a mom I used to hate seeing other people interact with a baby I had to to watch or babysit bc I would visualize the worst things. 
Them walking and dropping the baby or hitting their heads etc. 
Now with my own baby it’s worse in the doctors office when testing her I seen the doctor dropping her. My husband dropping her etc.  it makes me nervous. In my head I calm myself down bc I know it’s over the top but it’s aggravating to feel. 
Is this normal ?

Answer

I hope it's normal because I do it.  Shoot, she's seven months old and I still don't trust her to breathe in her sleep; I checked on her in the middle of the night last night just to make sure.   It's difficult to talk yourself down but you have to...for your own sanity.   ♥️

Answer

It sounds like it could be postpartum anxiety, I would definitely check in with the doctor!

Answer

Normal to an extent. 
We are wired to "see" dangerous situations in order to keep our babies safe. I had very strong anxious feelings in the first month or so. I would imagine terrible things happening and would sometimes get upset about it. As my hormones levelled out, things became easy to manage.  
If these anxious feelings interfere with your daily life and become too much to handle do speak to your doctor.

Answer

Its so normal and I do that as well. Example that just happened today, my oldest who is 4 will watch hulu or Netflix on my phone while i am working out for 20 minutes.  She will hold the phone above our 5 month olds head so she can see what she is watching and I have told her please do not do that because you might accidentally drop it on her. Well today it happened, not on her head but her stomach. I have pictured it happening everytime and it did so now no phone at all. I do the same with everything I feel like and it sucks.  😥
