Being a mom made me paranoid

Early this morning we went to our barangay health center to bring our baby for check up. Its been almost 3 weeks that our baby is having halak or kiss cough. Last week she also had colds maybe because of the weather. 3 days ago there are times that she is coughing, actually we are not sure if its cough or just a simple samid since its only rare that she coughed so I am not that worried and just observing her coz she does not have naman the fever. And I used to count her breathing. Yes I have been counting her breathing if it will exceed in 60 per minute which is normal. The other day while observing her breathing I found it off that there is instance that it looks like she is gasping for 3 or 4 times but after that her breathing back to normal. And it happened again yesterday.

But yesterday while browsing on facebook theres a post in the group of moms (where I belong) by one of the group member asking for others opinion about her child who was adviced by their pedia to admit her child. And I read some of the comments that made me worried since my baby had some of its signs.

So I chatted my husband if he can take his restday tomorrow( whuch is today) so we can bring our baby to the center so that the doctor can check wether her halak is just normal and to remove my worries because of what I had read.

I am glad that after the doctor checked our baby he assured me that there is nothing wrong naman with her lungs and according to him halak is just normal for babies below 1 year old and below. So I do not have to worry.

As a mom is it inevitable to worry especially now that I have watched and read lots of situation where a mom ignored the early signs of pneumonia and resulted to confinement of their baby. I always believe that prevention is better than cure.

Thats all folks just sharing my another paranoa day😁
