My daughter has been quiet all day, but was still eating and said she was fine. Then about an hour ago she started complaining of a tummy ache. It is unusual for her to complain of a tummy ache, so when she does it always makes me panic. She is lying on the settee at the moment looking very pale. I am really hoping she is not starting with anything nasty. She says that other than her tummy aching she is fine. I get so annoyed with myself for panicking, but as soon as I hear the words"tummy ache" I can feel my heart beating faster and my own tummy hurting. We have had such a nice few days and I was feeling quite relaxed until an hour ago. I don't like being on my own with my children when they are ill.I don't even know that she is ill, she may just have a little bit of indigestion, but I am already in a state. Why do I panic so much even before anything has actually happened?
