Anyone else develop pregnancy OCD?
I have always been kind of a worry person. I always think something bad is going to happen. But since I got pregnant it is so much worse! And it will be over silly small things like, "If I don't check my e-mail before I go onto facebook something bad will happen to the baby." And it always relates back to the baby. I feel like I am going crazy. Anyone else have this happen to them?

YES!!! I'm like that now...it's driving me and my husband crazy! I am 22 weeks and I feel her move some days and some days I don't. It's been 3 days and I felt her move a little but not much at all and it is worrying me sick! Hopefully it will get better for me and you both! Good luck!
that happend to me torwards the end, like all of a sudden if my coffee wasn't double cupped I couldn't drink it (still can't) and if the lid dosen't close properly I can't drink it so I carry around extra lids in my purse. in the morning I need to do everything in a certain order or I think something very very bad will happen, I make my son a bottle, shower, make his bottles for daycare, get dressed, change him leave. I can't do it in any other order.
although my OCD became worse mainly AFTER my pregnancy. maybe it's the anxiety being caused by all the physical and hormonal changes in your body. Even if it's not worrying you it can be stressful for your body. maybe bring it up with your Dr. I went on meds after I had my son and they've helped my anxiety alot.
i do this all the time, its anxiety and OCD, talk to your doctor and see if he/she can prescribe something for you? x good luck!
