I am a worry wart and I stress about things before they even become an issue.
Here is my current list of worries: I am nervous about TTC baby #2...I am afraid it will take really, really long to get pregnant, SAHM/WOHM status later, how clean my house is, worrying about being a "good" parent, not spending enough time with my family, not spending enough time with DH, house hunting, etc.
Are you worried about anything?

Yes, which is exactly why I started doing Yoga recently. I tend to stress out bigtime over things and it started having negative effects on my health and weight. Yoga and meditation are great because you're in better shape physically and it teaches you to concentrate on being in the present instead of letting your mind wander to different topics that cause stress.

Yes! I'm a worry wart too.
I'm worried about LO ALL the time. Worried about being a "good" mother too. About the 6+hr drive to NYC on Friday.
My current big worry is our niece's birthday gift. Stupid girl over the phone gave me the wrong information and now it's costing TWICE what we wanted to spend. So I don't know what we're going to do. We really can't afford to spend that much on a bday gift for a 5 year old right now!

right now I wake up worried and worry all day about this baby, due in Nov! I'm just paranoid she isn't moving enough, etc. I guess it never goes away.

Always. I'm throwing a baby shower this weekend and LO's birthday party next weekend so I'm worried that those will run smoothly, I won't forget anything, etc. I'm worried about money because we went to NY for over a week and spent a ton. And I'm always worried about migraines, and getting them when I'm home alone with LO all day or on special days like during her birthday party.

Right now most of my obsessive worries center around the baby. Is he moving enough, is he moving too much, is he growing as he should? Blah blah blah. I don’t think it’ll ever stop! I’m also anxious about closing on our house…it’s getting so close and I just want it to be done!

The biggest stressor at the moment is an ongoing issue with a family member. It makes family gatherings either not so fun or tricky to get out of others.

I'm obsessively worried about SIDS. I don't sleep well at night and literally check on the baby every 20 minutes or so during the night. He sleeps in a bassinet right next to my side of the bed, so I just stick my hand over and feel him breathing, but it's becoming harder and harder to cope.
We had friends lose their 3.5 month old on New Years Eve and I've really been affected by it. It doesn't help that most cases occur in boys between 2-4 months and my son is a tummy sleeper. So basically, he's a right there in the middle of a bunch of statistics. He's refused a swaddle from day one, slept terribly on his back, and once his reflux got bad, I had too many incidents where I was having to jump up and grab him because he was choking. So we switched to tummy sleeping, which I know is a huge no-no, but I didn't know what else to do.
So, I pretty much dread bed time because I am so freaking paranoid.

I"m borderline obsessive when it comes to things, I have tried my best to breathe and try to be more reasonable and less of a freak out but it's hard. Currently I'm stressed about money, DH and my relationship after the baby arrives, family stuff (grandma's health), and I"m sure more but those are the big things. I just don't do well with the unknown, even though I have been trying to work on it for years.

My main worry right now is starting work on monday and how LO will be at the daycare all day.
Other than that I worry that people will pass some illness to my LO. I really really HATE strangers touching her. Every single time I go out with her someone comes and touches her. Why oh why?

I'm a huge worry wort also, but my hubby is really laid back so it helps chill me out just a itsy bitsy bit.

Biggest worry right now is childcare for 2. We are thinking of pulling DD out of daycare (where she is thriving) and putting her and LO#2 in an in-home setting but I'm worried about DD's development since she is doing so well and that LO#2 won't get the same environment that DD had in those first 2 years.

My husbands brother is coming to live with us for a while. He told us last night he will be coming tomorrow. Tomorrow we are babysitting a friends kid for a few days. She happens to have a 103 degree fever today. So, I may have to take tomorrow off for that.

@autumnlove: I'm a worry wart also. I hate it!
There's so many but right now my biggest are trying to get our grumpy girl to start napping/sleeping better again. And the other is my parents dog came up missing friday morning, and we've had no luck finding him. He has a "dead leg" (it's still there, just no feeling and totally useless) in the front from a previous accident and we're afraid he hurt his other front leg and is stranded somewhere. It's been 100+ degrees lately, and it's very unlikely for him to have survived this long.

I'm a huge worrier, too, but right now I'm in a good non-stress mode. But, I do worry whether I'm doing enough with DS, stimulating him enough, and helping him grown and learn enough (he's almost 8 weeks). I'm also worried that he's NEVER going to sleep through the night, LOL. Big picture, I'm worried about returning to work this fall and how the hell we'll manage it all. I work a demanding job and so does DH....blah.

1. Worrying about going back to work at the end of summer and having to work with a lazy good for nothing person all day every day
2. keeping Baby Bear in her crib, she sleeps there now, just in the middle of the night she wakes up and I just bring her with us because it's easier.

i LOVE to worry about things i cannot change. right now i'm worrying about balancing raising a child and building my career. my husband tells me that it serves no purpose to worry over things i can't change, so i try to not think about things until i have to.

I don't think I listed it here but I was also worried about my wedding albums! Our photographer finally wrote back and says our album is ready...over a year later! Whew, one less thing to worry about!
