Pregnant and paranoid

Leah

So this pregnancy has been really rough on me… had morning sickness throughout the 1st 6 months off and on, but I think the worst thing is the emotional toll it's taking on my relationship with my husband.

I have been extremely paranoid. I don't know if it's because our 1st child together is only 14 months and I'm currently 8 months pregnant with our 2nd, maybe it's because he just accepted a new position working out a town 4 days a week. But I am terrified he's going to leave me for another woman.

I talk to him about my fears and he tries to be supportive but even he, a patient guy, has gotten fed up after months of accusations. His phone is open to me and I know the password. When he's out of town he regularly video chats me throughout his day and we spend his entire evening talking either on the phone or through video chat so he can see the baby. And he's usually with us when he is home on the weekends, no mysterious errands to run or anything.

I did find out that his family members were sending him videos of sexy girls on Facebook, which he watched on occasion. While people say it's normal, I was absolutely furious and devastated, especially pregnant with a body that is a lot rounder than the women in the videos. Since then he has taken a break from Facebook and hasn't been using it. So I don't know if that's where this paranoia is coming from but I get so scared of him cheating or how the stress of me worrying will affect our unborn son.

Wanting to reach out to other expectant moms… I didn't have this my 1st pregnancy so this constant fear is definitely taking a toll on me. Was anyone else this paranoid during their pregnancy? What did you do to stop it? Sorry this is so long but it does feel nice to get this out.
