Fears of something happening to my child

[berrme]

I have all these awful visons of DS1 dying. I think it because he is going through a stage where he doesn't want to listen to or follow instructions. I keep imagining him running in front of a car or off a cliff or something else equally terrible.
Every now and then I worry about DS2 and SIDS, but I think too much of my energy is spent worrying about the big one who does things I can prevent that I don't get to worry about him as much. Poor neglected second child.

I am pretty sure we are all normal.

Ali,
I feel like I could have posted the same thing word for word...
I am so paraniod about DD and god, where does it stop?? I check her breathing AT LEAST 3 times per half hour nap, at night DP and I take turns... Then I worry about when she is older and goes out drinking... not to mention other things and I feel like I dont even want to say it aloud in case the universe hears me... OK I know Im sounding absolutely crazy...
I guess its good to know we arent alone in our fears... I wish I could not worry but then on the other hand you cant go around thinking the world is completely safe, because its not. Sorry Im typing gibberish.
Your not alone!
