Balloons. its the tension. they might go bang! {{shiver}}
When they actually do burst its not a problem - its the potential that seems to get me. am better than I used to be, but at one point I couldn't be in the same room as a balloon without feeling EXTREMELY anxious.

Also - I used to not be afraid of heights at all - loved climging trees etc, then after I had my daughter I suddenly became absolutely petrified of even fairly low heights. The full going dizzy and seeing/feeling everything swinging round. I think I read somewhere that its quite common for women to suddenly develop vertigo after having kids. weird.
