I'm just looking for a little reassurance I guess, just to know I'm not crazy or the only one. Is anyone else insanely protective of their kids? Especially over your pregnancy? I feel like now that I'm a mom my first thoughts are always - How does my child view this, how does this affect my child's wellbeing, how does it make my child feel. I feel it more strongly during pregnancy because even though the baby isn't here here I still worry about its well being and how others actions are affecting them in utero or not. I know that anything someone puts me through affects my baby and I'm just trying to keep things as chill as possible but people all of a sudden are overstepping their boundaries and I'm not having it when it comes to my kids. Am I just being overprotective?

@preggerstone, thanks ma, I'll check them out too
So far the one I mentioned is great. Gives a great point of view. Secrets of the baby whisperer, Peaceful Parent Happy Kids, No bad kids, The Five Love Language of Children, No Drama Discipline, Brain Rules for Baby are a few I am looking into. @lilchicken
@preggerstone, what are your favorite parenting/ baby books?
I love books! I have more suggestions to. ;) I am on the same boat and always have so many worries but reading things help me at least. My little one is only 4 months and so many things go through my head.
@preggerstone, thank you I'll have to check it out, I've been looking for a new book to add to my collection :)
you are not crazy as a mama bear you should be protective of your babies from conception tell the day you die... that's my opinion anyway and people should respect you for being an awesome mama
It only becomes over protective if it affects your child. You can create fear in your child when there is no need to. I had an over protective mother. Just be careful not to stop them from experiencing things even if it may have a risk(falls, failing grades, emotional). I know I struggle with things but know I have to let things go in order for them to learn. It's so hard being a FTM that's for sure! I have read this well listening to this awesome book called The Conscious Parent and love it.
@mamabear1416, thank you for understanding, people were making me feel like I'm crazy to be so protective of my babes.
no you are being a awesome mama and I'm right there with you
Welcome. Good luck! ;) you'll do great.
