Is it normal for me to be feeling this way??

This is my first baby and I feel so guilty for having any bad thoughts but I feel really scared! I can't sleep at night thinking about it that now I have to take care of someone for 18 years. I'm having anxiety and sometimes panic attack what can I do to ease my mind? I love my baby and I'm happy and I can't wait for her but I'm scared at the same time....

I agree with these lovely ladies. I am on my 2nd child due march 1, and as I get closer to my due date I seem to get more anxious. Questions overflow my mind. How will I take care of 2 kids? Will I do everything right? How will I know a hungry cry from a pain cry? I felt that way with my son as wrll. I was terrified! But he is going to be 3 years old in 25 days. I couldn't be happier that we brought him into this world. You will do great! Keep ur chin up and tell yourself everyday that you ate s great mother!

Definitely agree ^... This is baby 4 for me and I'm extremely nerves and worried... Even though I've raised other people's boys, I'm just really scared cause this is my first boy and I don't know how this is gonna go...

Yes it is normal.  I have 2 kids already and have second guessed myself about bringing another into my life. Having kids is kinda scary.
