I am a third time mommy. I have a six year old and a four year old. When they were born I let everyone come see me and hold them after I had them. This time I'm having huge anxiety over letting even my husband hold our baby after he's born. I've had a terrible pregancy this time be in hosptial several times. Its been a nightmare on me. I think that's why I feel so diffrently this time. I don't even want anyone but my mom and husband there when I have him or even to come see us at all. I just want my baby to myself. Has anyone ever felt like this?? I wish I could let it go but the thought of anyone but me holding my baby makes me sick. I hope I get over this and soon. Bc for my husband its his first and his families first grandchild.

You may want to go talk to a therapist. I lost a pregnancy last year in August and developed a huge fear of death while pregnant now. I saw a therapist for a little over a month and he helped me get over my fear. Because of the problems you have had this pregnancy you have developed a fear but your added hormones are allowing your fears to control you. Obviously you know nothing is going to happen if his family holds your baby but you still can't make the thoughts and fear go away. This is common in pregnancy but it can help to talk to someone and work on removing the fear now rather causing problems for you and your husband. My husband didn't understand why I was terrified of death and still don't really understand but it helped me to talk to someone who got it and could help me deal with my fears. Good luck!

You could not tell anyone when you go into labor. Or maybe just your mil and fil so they don't feel left out.
