Pregnancy Info HOME

I totally know what you are going through. Thank God I found this site. Now I know I'm not crazy. I have always had OCD, but not very bad, and usually my obsessions were with numbers and counting, nothing major. About 4 months after having my baby( he is 1now) I started having the intrusive thoughts. Like you said, they just POP into your head. I will pick up a knife to cut carrots or something and all of a sudden I'll just think"what if I ___". I know I wouldn't hurt him, I don't hear voices or any of that, but like you, I'm tired of these thoughts. Lately, I've been obsessing about someone else hurting him. I've found it gets worse the more crime shows I watch or the news-it just gives me more things to obsess about. I didn't have any other classic symptoms of PPD, that's why I had no clue what was going on.
