'Attention, que tu aies des doutes est tout à fait normal.'

'Attention, que tu aies des doutes est tout à fait normal.'

Please can you explain why the subjunctive is used in 'que tu aies des doutes'.  Is it to express uncertainty about whether she has doubts or not?

Put simply, it is the case of a hypothesis.

Take a look at the following lesson for more examples.

Que + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = Whether you do something (or not) in French
