Development anxiety

I feel exactly the same as you. I don’t feel like I’m enjoying him fully as I’m worried constantly about his development. If anyone else posts any comments that help I’d be really grateful as well. I hope you know you’re not alone, and I hope people provide you with comfort. One thing someone did say to me was that babies are like cooking popcorn, they all pop in their own time. xxx

You’ve kind of answered your question, nothing can be changed and just enjoy baby! 😊 It’s hard not to worry, but at the same time, she will be fine either way. So many things will happen during her development, try not to compare to any other baby. I’ve got two sons now, my first born was so advanced physically whereas this time round we’re just about on track, I know that he’ll get there and some things he may be ahead of or slightly behind. You’ve got to remember that your worrying isn’t bad, it shows how much you care! She will be absolutely fine no matter what 💛 First time round as well, I was constantly checking to see where he was during milestones, this time round I’ve decided what’s the point in checking! I hope that was helpful in some way and not just me waffling away 😂

Even if they have autism, what’s to worry about, try and view autism with a different perspective and hopefully you may worry/see it as a bad thing a little less, I know lots of severe cases are immensely difficult but it’s a spectrum and not all bad ❤️

I'm a very anxious mum too and all I can recommend is really working on fighting that anxiety which is really hard but so important so you don't spiral. Your thoughts are just thoughts and you can learn to gain control of those thoughts. Checkout Marissa Peer on YouTube there are loads of videos that really help me.

I feel exactly the same. Just skip the videos xx

Sorry you’re feeling this way! I don’t have TikTok so don’t know if it’s the same but on instagram you can mark on videos that you don’t want to see that kind of content and it will start to change your algorithm so you won’t keep seeing them The more you watch the videos, the more it will show you unfortunately

I keep getting these videos as well and it’s stressing me out when it was something I would never have even thought about and also rare diseases in children 😢

Not sure if this helps, but I got very bad anxiety from my own health issues a while back. Went to see a therapist and I learned when I feel my anxieties getting bad to put myself in the present moment. If you constantly think about the past or future, you will feel depressed as you are thinking what could have been and what might be instead of being in the now. So I used a hair bobble round my wrist and pulled it to bring myself back to the present, controlled breathing or just holding something and really thinking about how it feels on your skin are all things that can help keep you in the now, for me it helps. Hope your anxieties getting bad eased
