Hi

Was just wondering if anyone else has ever had mad/bad thoughts while pregnant. Not about the baby or anything but general life, becoming convinced something bad will happen. I have been and I feel like I'm going mad at times! I'm not having bad thought re the baby although like any new mother I'm worrying for my child etc but I seem to have that under control. I just keep on thinking some bad will happen and keep on having scenarios running through my head, my mind running away with me. Is this normal?

I think it's pretty typical... many pregnant women will also find their dreams are more intense as well. With everything going on in your body so new and different, and often times senses being heightened, it is not surprising that even your thoughts will sometimes be more intense as well. As with any form of stress or anxiety, finding ways to deal with it can help... take care of anything that you can that causes you concern or worry, and get daily exercise... the endorphins can help tremendously with the increased stress hormones.

Everything is going to work out, Yes it is very stressful when you are prevnant, but you can do it, just have confidence in yourself and you will just do fine... It is scary, but it will all work out I hope the best for you and your baby
