Terrified

Ok so I am utterly terrified to become a mom.   I don't know if it is normal or not to feel this way but I am really scared to have my little girls.  I'm scared I'm not going to be a good mom and that I'm going to do something wrong.  And a lot of me still doesn't believe I'm pregnant and this is all just a huge long, REALLY long dream.    Is it normal to not want to be pregnant towards the end and be scared that you're going to make a horrible mom?

I'm 39 weeks and have been freaking out. I'm terrified and nervous and scared. Just all negative feelings. I'm glad u posted this and I'm not the only one. I'm excited to meet her just very scared. I also feel like this is all a dream. And that one day I will wake up and everything will be back to normal. Its kinda a depressing feeling. But I'm assuming its normal.

I'm only 21 weeks, and it has been on and off the whole pregnancy.  The first month of my pregnancy was really hard.  Problems with the real baby dad and then finding out there were two.  It's just all hitting me now.  And now hat I've made it past 20 weeks I'm even more scared because I'm a ticking time bomb.... In a normal pregnancy pre term labor isn't as high.   I'm so scared they are going to be here too soon. :(
