getting cold feet

[princessttc]

Hey girls,

I hate bringing this up because besides coming across as ungratefull for being pregnant (which im not) I always make myself sound stupid... (which i hope im not either)

But here it goes.... Is anyone or has anyone started getting really worried about how they are going to deal with having a baby, homelife, finances etc??? How much its going to change their lives? How they will deal with staying at home with bubs (not working) etc?

i have so many days atm where im like, "I dont know if i can do this...." I wouldnt change it for the world but im wondering if anyone feels the same and questions if they will be able to handle all the changes that are going to occur in their life?

thanks girls

I have these days alot! its normal hun x

you are totally not alone!! I think as the time comes closer we all start to worry about these things (whether we admit it or not!)
I am being induced tomorrow and I am totally freaking out over things like finances, dealing with taking care of a baby and housework, how things will change between OH and myself as its no longer just the 2 of us..but best advice I can give you is take it one day at a time, try not to over think everything and if when baby comes you are having a rough time make sure you take advantage of resources around you! Speak to your OH, doctors, etc

I definitely have days like that and we were ttc for 10 months before getting our ! It's a huge life change and just shows you're thinking realistically about how things will be, pretty responsible, or that's what I keep telling myself!

once baby is here u will wonder how u ever coped without them and ur worries will dissolve hun. xxx

same here hun i have days where i know its the best thing ever and other moments where i think to myself what the hell have i done

 

[tasha41]

I was feeling okay with everything for a really long time but have really started to panic lately since it's getting so close!

I'm sure you'll do great We all will!

AW! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I've been around kids all my life, but becoming a mom TERRIFIES me!

 

[Rame]

Yah, that's quite normal hun, don't worry. It's a life alternating experience, I'm sure. I'm a FTM like you, so I do get nervous about the changes that are about to occur. I've been told though that once you have your baby, you couldn't even imagine how like was like without him/her There will be stressful times I'm sure, but like what others have said, stay focus on the positive and ask for help if you need it!

It because something massive is just about to take over your life, ive been feeling like that recently too.

I already have one child and i even get days like that where i think to myself "what the hell am i doing, whay am i starting all over again?" The money thing terrifies me as we have a huge mortgage and i do need to work but we won't be able to afford child care so it looks like i am going to have to work evenings or nights.....can't wait for that NOT!!! Once the family get into a routine and the LO settles things will be great xx

 

[lillysmum]

you are definitely not alone and its totally natural to be thinking about things like that especially as it gets nearer to the end of your pregnancy - but believe me it sounds like you are ready by simply asking these questions

 

[lolly101]

I have days like this too hun...we were trying for a LONG time for bubs no 2....I have days where I think OMG life is so easy now our DS is 8..what have we let ourselves in for??? I know once she is here next week it will be like she has always been here and we won't be able to imagine life without her...you'll be fine hun, as for finances you manage somehow!

 

[heather91]

I did towards the end, but once they're born you don't feel like that one bit. x

 

[dreams]

I'm the same, i have days when i panic and think can i really do this? I'm sure i'll get worse as time gets closer!
