It will come easy for you this is my third when I had my first I thought everything was going to be so hard because I came from a family that breastfeed 100 percent wasn't scared and never felt embarrassed by it we'll when my daughter was born she wouldn't latch so I felt like I let the family down but I kept trying and thanks to a thing called a nipple shield I was able to at first I was scared to even change my baby girl but I had to learn to do it no one was going to do it for me... She was a great baby she slept threw the night and really never cryed.. don't worry It will come natural and she will be walking As soon as you know it

I'm kind of that way too. I have experience babysitting babies 4 months and up but I've never really taken care of a newborn and one thing I was always nervous about was putting a shirt on because I always felt like I would squish their head. So I'm a little nervous too and I have 2 and a half weeks left but I think once our babies get here it'll be different, hopefully lol

Lol im the oldest my mom has 4 so 5 of us all together. The last 3 were a yr apart so , i helped my mom alot & when iwas little babydolls were my best friends... So , when ibecame pregnant i already knew what to do & what to except after pregnancy. The only thing new to me was obviously being pregnant & labor. Trust me in a few wks , your baby will enter the world & no matter how scared you are you'll be xtra careful cause you dnt want anything bad/serious to happen right? You'll be okay. Just take things slow each day you'll learn .
