ocd

Has anyone else developed ocd while being pregnant OMG I can't take any mess in the house I disinfect the sides  all the time if I can't smell bleech I'll bleech everywhere my husband said I've gone crazy lol I clean up after his every move I can't stand it when the cusions on the sofa arnt straight and plumped or if theres even a crum on the floor the hoover and mop is out and if I'm honest the mop is making me feel like its not hygienic I feel to get a steam mop. I contantly use hand sanitiser I can't use public toilets or stand people touching me and if I carry on u I'll be here all day Ive always been clean but I was laid back now I can't sleep if there's a glass in the sink

Oh gosh I though I was the only one! My ocd follows me to work. I think the counters are getting dented from all the bleach and wiping they go thru a day with me lol but yes it has gotten worse... and the floors... I can't stand a footprint on them... I almost mop after my own steps...
