scared!

[kristenmccoy8]

Is anyone else out there kind of freaking out about being a mom? I'm 20 weeks and just found out I'm having a boy! Amongst my excitement I started to realize I feel like I don't know the first thing about babies or raising a child and it keeps me up at night! I don't wanna let the little man down. Anyone else having a 'oh crap' moment?

I was terrified when pregnant with my first boy too. So I feel your pain. Only I didnt have anyone to turn to about circumcision care, etc. The nurses in the maternity ward defintely got their work out lol

I have that "oh crap" moment all the time! I'm excited, but anxious because I don't wanna make stupid mistakes lol.

This is boy number 3 for me btw heh. Those are some tips from my Dr too with my first. Oh you wont have to worry about the pressing back of the skin part for about a week after he comes home. And be very gentle.

this is my second and i still feel that way im 20 weeks now also and having a boy my first was a girl lol its still nerve racking and with my first i was freaking out but it comes naturally to most all mothers so nothing to worry about you got this.

Thanks Bri. I had to ask my sister since she had a boy. lol

This is my first too it freaks me out... Constantly just sitting there thinking I'm doing this alone too it's horrifying.

For a circumcision care use vaseline when you run out of the ointment they send home with you. And all you really have to do is put a glob of it on the tip and cover with the diaper asap or you will be blessed with a golden shower of youth. All the ointment/vaseline is for is to keep the diaper from sticking to the tip. Also you'll need to, on occasion, press back the skin a bit to keep the foreskin from growing back.

I have these moments all the time & this is #4! However, it's like starting over. My others are 16, 13, & 9 & they are all girls. This one is a boy & I'm like what the heck was I thinking. I don't know how to take care of a boy. How do you care for his circumcision? What if I need a c-section? Can I handle another labor? Don't get me wrong. I'm excited as can be just nervous I guess.

yeah lol like "oh crap, what if he turns out like my brothers" or "why did I get myself into this?" lol
