Pregnancy Info HOME

PPOCD is in fact about having horrible images about harming your baby enter your thoughts unwanted. One may or may not have repetitive compulsions in an effort to control or stop the images. The best thing to do is let them enter one ear and flow out of the other in an attempt to give them as little power as possible. Remind yourself that you would never harm your baby and that the intrusive thoughts are irrational- a result of the many hormonal changes your body goes through. Seek therapy with someone who specializes in PPOCD. It will really help you. Remember that you are not crazy, no one will take your baby, you will not be put in a hospital, you are a good mother!
