feeling down

[babydue07182013]

So most of you know I'm almost 2 weeks overdue and being induced Thursday. The past week it's been really hitting me that this is happening. Like am I ready to be a mom? What if I don't know what to do...or what if I'm not strong enough for labor? I don't feel ready like I did before :/ my boyfriend left for work and said "2 more days" and as soon as he shut the door I burst into tears

Honey, the night before I was induced with my first I was so scared I cried. I was 3cm dialated though. I had to be induced so my husband could be there to meet his son, he was only in for two weeks before he had to go back out of state for pre deployment training. He literally threw up as we got into the car to drive to the hospital. Once that little baby is born, everything will fall into place. I had previous experience with kids but my husband didn't, once he held our son everything just clicked for him. <3 good luck darling, I can't wait to see pictures!

I can vouch for the mommy instincts kicking in :) with my first pregnancy I had pretty bad depression towards the end, I even remember saying "I hate this baby" and was convinced she had ruined my life. But then she was born and no my life wasn't ruined, it was made complete :) and I instantly knew how to breastfeed, change a nappy and hold her correctly, it was the most natural thing I've ever done. Keep an eye out for depression and anxiety after the birth though incase you develop postnatal depression. Good luck - you'll be fine! X

I feel the same after being told my boy could show up anytime! My head is a big mess trying to figure out if i have everything i need! Im mostly scared that friends andbfamily will over crowed me....i hate crowds and if i could be alone with my family for the first few weeks id be happy....but my mom booked he vacation off so did my dad....my hubbys family thinks theyre all coming down the week end after my son s born...im still not letting them sleep in my house if they do. I just hope i get into a routine fast.

But apparently mommy instinct kicks in and youll be just fine :) being induced isnt that bad. Just means u made a really comfy place for ur girl lol

Babe when the time comes Thursday you will know exactly what to do. Like everyone says it will be so natural and you will be a great mommy! Believe in yourself and do your best for your little one . Yes it's so terrifying not knowing what to expect , only reading and doing word of mouth knowledge , but the time has come finally for you to take all that you've Learned these past 41.5 weeks and DO IT . Hats off to you ;))) xxxxxxx can't wait to see her

You will do just fine. You sound like your gonna be a wonderfull mother! Who knows your labor might go quickly like mine did with my first only 5hours.

Its completely normal to feel terrified and unprepared. Were all unprepared theres no way to be fully prepared until your in the moment. To
his is my second annd im still nervous that ill forget everything or that things have changed since my first. To be honest i didnt have a clue when i had my son but  i asked lots of questions and surrounded myself with other moms who were going thru the same thing. I made a ton of mistakes and have even let my son down a few times but ive learned from my mistakes and ive learned how to be the best mom i can for my boys. All.children need is love and u clearly have that for your baby so trust me when i say you are going to be a great mother who will make mistakes along the way but thats what parenting is all about:)

[katmoo06]

I'm sure u will do great momma I'm only 34weeks and I'm starting to freak out a little too

[texasbby13]

It will all come natural to you! You will do great!

[babydue07182013]

My hormones are all over the place lol it doesn't help I've been watching I'm having their baby all morning

[babydue07182013]

It's like the scariest experience ever. I'm praying once I see her all the pieces just fall into place.

[2ndbaby77]

Being nervous and scared is all just part of having a baby. But I'm sure you will do great!!!

[2ndbaby77]

I bet she would love to get phone calls from you after baby is born so she can help. This is my second and I'm still scared lol. Like what if I don't raise this baby right?? Or what if my babies dint like each other??

[babydue07182013]

My mom & I used to be close but since I've got pregnant I've only seen her twice :(

[NancyAnn7]

Oh hun :( from what I've seen you post, you'll do great. My friend felt the same way as you and she handled it very well. I know everyone is different but from what I've seen, you're a strong person and you'll do fine. at the end you get to meet your little girl! Just keep that in mind. :)

[msdominguez91]

I know it will be scary bt like my mom said once u hav that lil baby in your arms moms intuition will help yu know what to do, an us as women were made to stand the pain of labor thats why we carry the baby an not the men.
. Just relax an think that soon that lil person u been carry for 10 months will be in your arms...you can do it girl :) were created for this

[2ndbaby77]

It's terrifying. But you will do just fine!!! Are you and your mom close?? I know I wouldn't have made it through my first year with my daughter with out my mom. I worried about everything. I called her every day to ask questions.

[babydue07182013]

I think it's partly cause I didn't want an induction. I wanted to go into labor and stay at home til it was time. Not have to look forward to at least 12-24 hr labor :(
