I'm finding it all quite difficult.
Don't get me wrong, I'm so incredibly happy to be expecting our first baby and I really can't wait to be a mom.
But I'm terrified of everything.
I'm nearly 8 weeks pregnant and I've barely had chance to come to terms with everything.
I'm scared of hospitals... I've never been admitted myself, the only times I've really been there was to visit my best friend who sadly passed away.
I'm scared of having something growing inside me... Even though its an amazing thing.
Most of all, I'm terrified of giving birth. Absolutely horrendously terrified.
I've mentioned before how I was scared of the birth. But my fears aren't going anywhere soon... If anything it's getting worse.
I got my first letter from the hospital yesterday for my first scan. There was a pregnancy booklet in there... And after reading it, it's completely freaked me out.
I feel so ridiculous and horrible for feeling like this, especially so early on in my pregnancy. I should be looking forward to everything, but instead I want the weeks to drag so I have more time to get my head around it.
I'm worried about how much stress and anxiety I'm feeling... What if it affects my baby?
Did anyone else feel like this with their first?
I keep telling myself 'well it can't be that bad because women wouldn't have more kids if it was' Lol.
I'm sorry for the long post, and I do apologise if this offends anyone as I understand women on here have experienced losses... I feel so selfish for feeling this way xx
