So scared of SIDS!!
Hey girls
I am writing to get my feelings out cos its driving me mad!! I have an 8 week old little girl and I am worried every second of every day that she is going to die of SIDs. It is taking over my life, so much that despite my exhaustion, I cannot sleep.
I know that the chances are pretty slim but I am in a complete panic about it. I follow all the guidelines and neither me or my partner are smokers but still I cannot stop fretting. I tried to talk to my partner about it and he said I was being pathetic and I need to chill out-maybe he is right but I cannot help it!!
Thanks for listening

Its easier said than done to 'chill' out isn't it!!! I have had high blood pressure since having her, part of it I think is all the stressing out.
So rest assured you are not the only one. I think lots of people worry about it.
Take care

Please don think i am being out of line but it might be worth speaking to hv, its just you say its stopping you from sleeping and putting you in a complete panic and it can be a sign of post natal depression and if it is the sooner you are seen the better.
take care
