does this sound like ocd?

Hey that sounds like OCD intrusive thoughts they can be pretty scary and can range from all sorts of things it’s best you talk to your midwife and theylll refer you to the perinatal mental health team it’s very common for pregnant women/mums to have intrusive thoughts they help you deal with them cause they can become too much and a bit extreme to deal with alone

@Hess okay thankyou sm 🫶🫶

@kaitlyn it’s okay! I struggle with it myself and it can get scary and can make you feel alone I hope you get the help soon

Having weird and intrusive thoughts and dreams is normal for a new mom. I also get these and have to make sure and do activities and strategies for them not to disrupt my day or life. I think when you aren’t able to manage them and /or they continue to get worse, it’s always good to seek the guidance of a professional. Just know you aren’t the only one 🫶🏽

@Whitney thankyou so much i’ve been stressing all day as i looked it up and it said things like schizophrenia but thankyou so much 🥰

My boy is 2 and I have intrusive thoughts all day. Never about anything I would do but like my MIL picks him up on Thursdays for the day and I just spiral that they will have a car crash etc. it’s really awful. Or when we’re walking, a car might mount the curb and kill him 😭 it’s quite normal… I think xx

@Dais i’m the exact same i never have thoughts of hurting her but it’s just whenever someone is like looking after her etc😂😂xx
