Does anyone get scared of having kids? Because I’ve always wanted kids. And I don’t want to ever do anything to hurt them but then the what if feeling comes in and I get too scared to even think about having kids. Does anyone else experience this?

I got diagnosed with ocd after my second child and yess i will not have more kids 😓 Ocd has traumatised me but it doesn’t make less of a good parent tho

Absolutely it doesn’t! I’m sure you’re an amazing parent. People like us with ocd don’t ever want to act upon this awful thoughts. I believe in you!

Do you have any pets? I consider those my kids right now, & I think to myself, “if I wouldn’t hurt or violate my pets, its less likely I would ever hurt a child.” & I’ve gotten plenty of intrusive thoughts about my pets….

I am in the same boat.

Same here
