I remember reading this in the book "Origins" a while ago so when it happens I know it's totally normal.
Some examples... Strangers coughing, sneezing, grosses me out! Ok grosses me out on a regular basis but now it's a different feeling... A feeling like OMG I need out NOW and holding my breath hoping I don't breath any of the air around me haha!
Today I went for blood work and it was really crowded, one guy was standing a little to close to me...my thoughts were on fire! (Do I just leave, why is he so close I will punch him soon, omg I'm breathing way too many peoples air in here. yikes!)
One incident that almost has me running out of there was when I was called to the room to take my blood another lady that was before me walked in and told the lab tech to change her bloody bandaid right in front of me... OMGGGGGG I almost freaked out! Trying to remain calm I
It's like I'm a guard dog on the watch ha!

I'm also very aware of my hands and everyone elses haha! What we are touching and if you touch my food even a little I may leave that piece aside, please don't be offended. :)
Meat... If it's not WELL done, I will not eat you, I can't, my mouth will not allow it. However I do have medium to well steak, I'm ok with that :)
Another thing I noticed is my awareness of danger. I'm extra careful! And pause before I do something to make sure I'm being as careful as can be. I make sure to hold the railing when walking down the stairs, and walk slow, not just because I'm carrying this extra weight ha! My husband is great with this :) bringing the laundry up and down, vacuuming (ok, I could vacuum but we'll keep that in the list of husband to do's).
Even at events where some people are dancing with a little too much excitement or if it's too crowded, i'll stay away, I do not want to be pushed or shoved and risk falling.
Ok it may sound worse than it actually is, but i'm on high alert, more than ever.
I have a protective zone around me, and it also brings out another side of me which is funny too.
So if you know what I'm talking about, leave me a comment of your experience with this, so we can laugh about it together :)
I'm normally a super anxious person on a regular basis but when I was pregnant it definately reached its peak LOL. I was nervous to do or eat anything. I wouldn't lift things or even eat sandwiches at the deli (because I heard something about the meat) But I heard with second pregnancies you get alot more lax about things.
ReplyDeleteOur hormones get the best of us during pregnancy:)
ReplyDeleteIt gets worse when the baby arrives. Lol
ReplyDeleteI had my babies so long ago that I don't remember! But I've always been an anxious person! It'll get better!!!
ReplyDeleteOh man, this is like a preview into my future pregnancy. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be super anxious and super annoyed with the population around me.
