How you recognise her

The Worrier Mum naturally looks for as much information as possible from anywhere she can.

She's always looking for the advice of friends and family and reads countless baby books and pregnancy magazines.

Worrier Mums might be a little bit overwhelmed by all the information out there. Unfortunately the confusion makes it quite tricky to feel confident about the decisions she faces in her new situation as a mum-to-be.

She'll often deal with her anxiety by obsessing about her biggest fears, and trying to deal with it by collecting too much information from a huge variety of sources.

How to cope if you're a Worrier Mum...

If you think you're showing signs of being a Worrier Mum, it's important to remember that it's totally natural to worry about the most precious thing in your life - your new baby.

To avoid confusion reduce the number of sources you gather your information from. Use only trusted websites, such as NHS UK and goodtoknow and visit your maternity health professional for straightforward, factual information and to discuss the best options for you and your baby.
