I had never even held a newborn until I had my own!
I wasn't really excited with my first... it was weird. It was unplanned,I was young but my attitude changed really quickly after I had her. I mean, not immediately which some women look at me like Im Hitler when I say that...
Babies are draining,demanding,loud,smelly. I was so tired I had a c section and take took forever to heal and the baby was almost the icing on top of the cake. But once I got into the swing of things I really got into the whole mom thing! I loved it so much I did it again.... and then AGAIN! Now Im having my 3rd!

Its very hard to explain,I was excited I guess but so nervous. That and post partum depression made it even harder. Youre not alone or abnormal. It takes a strong,honest woman to admit what you just did because we all have these visions of the perfect story book pregnancies,  birth and homecoming but sometimes it doesn't happen that way! Itll come! Don't worry!

It's a scary thing to become a mom! It's not the easiest transition. You're not alone in this feeling either. But it will come. ;)

Not wrong at all! I couldnt say it any better than the other poster. She said it perfectly!

I was so weirded out by becoming a mother with my first. I honestly felt like I was the least maternal person I knew and that God was making some serious mistake with me. I already loved her, to be sure, because she was my take around pal, but me as a mom?!
Long story short, birth is truly the one and only love at first sight, and the moment she came out, I was changed. Some women feel it right away, some grow upalways knowing they would be moms....I took a while. And I'm still learning with #5 coming and my first is 14! Life changes and it'll be ok, but different....and oh so worth it! Dont worry about how you're feeling now.  Excitement will come.
