No freedom when the baby comes?

Hello fellow moms and moms to be. This is me and my fiancè's first pregnancy and I'm 25y.o. I'm 5wks & 3dys and a bit terrified, because feel I won't have the freedom to do the things I'm able to do now. It freaks me out knowing that I have to give all my attention and time to this little precious person. I can honestly say I am selfish with myself and I don't want to share my fiancè right now :-) Is this normal or am I just being an a$shole? And when does this feeling of wanting to vomit goes away? I have a loss of appetite and every single scent or smells makes me sick.

I often say that when my son was born God hit the reset button on me and all of my focus went to my son. It does't really feel like a sacrifice to drop everything for your child...it is just a natural change. Pregnancy is already preparing you. You are already focusing on your child through your nutrition, activity, stress level...etc. I waited a long time to have children because I felt that I was too selfish. It turns out I spent a lot of years worrying over nothing.

Yes, you can take a infant with you anywhere. Just remember it is always changing...the needs of the child change and your lifestyle changes with them. You will also learn to use the bathroom with the door open and how to cook with a baby on your hip :) Take it in stride and have a good sense of humor.

As far as your fiance... your love for him will change and grow with your new child. At first it can be hard to find time together. I will admit that a newborn requires a lot of attention and you might find yourself in bed early to get as much sleep as possible. But, as the baby gets older...you will have more time together in the evenings. Try to do a lot of things together as a family. Family time has really brought us together and I know it will do the same for you.

Congratulations and enjoy every second. It goes so fast!

babies can be quite demanding but you start to feel joy from different things... it all depends on the baby.. some babies are really easy going and other babies are very high demanding...  babies are meant o be high demanding though because they get all their needs from you...  

my daughter is very good but at the same time, she is very high demanding.. she likes certain things at certain times.. like for example if she wants you to hold her and walk around, nothing else will do at that ime...  when she was really young, she needed to be held 24/7 even at night, i thought it would never get better...  a couple weeks down the road it got better, and now she is back to sleeping in her own bed and sleeps 6-7 hrs a night in a row..

i sometimes miss the freedom of being like i want to go to the store and bam im not the store.. vs... getting th baby ready,etc...

but everyday is amazing with her

freedom wise nothing much changes while baby is still young, apart from going out to clubs, you just have a little tag along with you :) you will find your priorities change once bub is born anyway and as for not feeling like sharing your fiance, that will definatley change as your love for this bub will be totally different that what your love for him is, its hard to put into words what that feels like, but you will know, as for the morning sickness it should start to ease around the 9-12 wk mark,  drinking ginger tea or ginger ale, anytrhing with ginger in it can help, also vit b6 can help with nausea, raw almonds and acupuncture can also help
