Hi

[LeeAnne41482]

Hi, my name is LeeAnne, I am a 26 year old mother of an eight year old lil girl and I am due with my second child, a son, on april 1st. i have OCD and Panic Attacks. I am deathly afraid of dying, and I have been obsessed about the birth of my second child to the point where i am already trying to "naturally" induce my labor already! I was not like this before i had my eight year old, I got like this after. it has become so noticeable to my family and friends, that they worry about me! and They take notice to alot of things. they are scared to come to my house and make a mess in fear that i will have a panic attack! is that even possible??

Hi LeeAnne,

Welcome to NMP. It is natural to be scared when you are about to give birth and your children are 8 yrs apart in age. Mine are 7 years apart so I can emphasize with you. I would not try to start labor though, let things come naturally because it will be easier for you and the baby. During my last week or so I focused not on the coming baby but on my other child because I knew that when the baby came he would be sort of feeling left out. I did my best to spend special time with him and it also helped me not focus on my anxieties. Even if you just stay home you can do activities together either for the newborn or something he/she wants to do as long as it is together. You are very blessed to be having another child and please try to relax and enjoy this one on one time with your other child. Do take care.
