Scared to leave my house.

The intersection right by my house is horrible. When I was pregnant with my daughter, I got into an accident there & had to go to physical therapy & then had to stop since they thought id go into labor early (which i did at 33 wks). Now that its winter, Ive seen accidents over there at least once a day. Im so paranoid to leave the house especially since im 33 wks along. My husband thinks im "being crazy." What do u think?

Its bad to the point now that i will turn the opposite way and drive at least 10 mins out of my way just to avoid it. It seems kinda crazy when i sit back & think how much gas im wasting but when hes driving, i will close my eyes & just breathe... I obviously cannot do that while im driving though.

Its normal for people who have been in accidents.. im 30 weeks pregnant and i got an a bad accident almost 3 years ago so ive always been scared to drive.. but knowing i have a lil one inside me to take care of makes me even more deffensive.. best thing that helps its to see someone for it because the anxiety from it prob wont go away even after the birth.. lol

I don't think you're being crazy you're just being cautious that's all, When I started having fainting spells I stopped driving for fear of getting into an accident or causing one so keep doing what you do sometimes men don't know

I know its hard just try to breath while driving. At least your strong anough to drive. Im afraid of all of it now. When my husband drives I drive him crazy. I feel totally out of control.

Im more paranoid when someone else is driving. The accident was not my fault. I had a green light and a car turned in front of me. That was march 08. Ive been fine but now im freakin  out.
