Talk w/ trusted Dr: If you have others you trust - talk w/ them too. But the Dr they see should be able to reassure you and help you plan for a safe but more comfortable attitude about their risk. You might be referred to a therapist to help you relax while being the good parent you want to be. Support really helps!
