Hi everyone, I am new to this forum.
I am 37 weeks pregnant and getting ready to welcome baby. My pregnancy has so far been going very well with no particular issues.
As we are approaching the birth, my partner and I have been discussing names for our baby. We found one we both love, but one day on a forum I found that a baby called that name unfortunately passed away. Since then I have this recurrent thought that if I chose this name this will happen to my baby, so I wanted to change name. I found another one that I liked but similar thoughts are now coming, and I keep thinking about this the whole day, and at night. Would you say that this is a type of perinatal OCD? I guess I am just so lost in these repetitive thoughts and just looking for solutions to find help me manage the situation... thanks.
