A Mother’s Anxiety Amidst Covid-19

It’s strange how motherhood changes everything about you. Of course we all have fears of suffering and death but after being a mother it turns into a different kind of fear.

What will happen to my baby if something happens to me? Will my baby be loved? Will he be taken care of properly? Will he have the same happy cheerful spirit? Or will he turn into a sad soul longing for affection? With everything that has been happening in the world, These thoughts are haunting me every day.

My son used to sleep in his crib but now we have started co sleeping again. I don’t want to stay away from him even for a minute. I know I’m being paranoid but I can’t help it. I feel lucky to be able to stay home with my baby and try to keep him safe. My heart goes out to the mothers who go to work despite the fear of this Pandemic. A Huge shoutout to my cousin who is a doctor and has a little daughter at home and to all the strong women and men who have been working for our safety . I am hoping and praying that this too shall pass
