I'm assuming this has a biological purpose: if we think of our cavepeople selves, we would have been more vulnerable to attack--pregnant ladies move more slowly, it is more difficult to breathe, etc. So I'm guessing that the fear, which in my case was "who's out to get me?", is just our body's way of getting back in touch with those "protect yourself!" feelings. <br /><br />So when your partner, who you really come to rely on even more than before (at least that's how I felt), travels or goes away or has to work more hours, you feel even more vulnerable. Because your cavehusband needs to protect you!<br /><br />Anyway, that's how I make sense of it, but when I was pregnant I was really in touch with my "animal self," if you want to call it that. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289359003002998269.post-50415933529119210652011-01-12T19:34:20.534-05:002011-01-12T19:34:20.534-05:00Oh my gosh, yes yes yes. This happened to me too. ...Oh my gosh, yes yes yes. This happened to me too. My husband's occupation didn't help one bit. I remember I was traveling without him for a big family thing, I was straight up bawling as I drove away just absolutely petrified he would have something dreadful happen to him while I was gone and die in the hospital before I could get there. How awful is that?! Prayer was really the only thing that helped me. And it did, a lot. But it's all normal, I just wish I knew why hormones put such terrible thoughts in our heads though. Why couldn't it be the opposite? Seriously.Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256663281972853458noreply@blogger.com
