totally scared

Is it just me or is anyone else completely freaked out about having a baby. I think its just hit me that soon I will be a mum. I am super excited, but at the same time scared I won't know what to do, or be any good! Everyone I've spoken too seems to not have this feeling. So is it just me?

I think everyone feels that way! I had depression in the last few months of my pregnancy, I felt like I hated my baby and that my life was over. As soon as she was born I was overwhelmed by love, not scared in the slightest and knew exactly what to do! It's scary while you're pregnant, but your maternal love will kick in as soon as baby is born, and you are all showing your maternal side already by not feeling you're good enough! It shows you care! Rest assured ladies, you're all gonna be fab mommies xx

I feel the same way!! I'm excited, but the idea of April coming so fast is scary.. I definitely don't feel ready that's for sure.

Hi ladies. I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've been in shock since I found out I think and now the babies moving around, it dawned on me its real. I'm not ever been the maternal type, and I've got health problems that I resigned myself to never having a child as it would be difficult, but this little one is a fighter, my mum keeps calling it a miracle. I'm just worried about when the baby comes and will I be able to cope, especially as my health problems will come back with revenge once all my pregnancy hormones are gone. It's strange really as pregnancy has really suited me. I've had no symptoms and I feel better than ever, I just don't think it will last forever. X

I found out less than 24 hours ago from 3 home tests & one at the clinic... I don't know if I have quit crying since then. I'm so scared & terrified. I'm worried I'll lose it, not be a good mom, not be able to properly care for it... All of these things. I've felt guilty by not being excited like everyone else. It makes me feel like I am a horrible "mom" because I'm not dancing around. But the thought of growing a small human in me is so scary! I'm now responsible for another life. I think that we all are going to feel certain ways during our pregnancies, and it's okay. I don't think we'll ever not be scared.
