Is it normal to feel this way??

[happythought]

Hey Ladies,

Just wanted to see if anyone else feels this way? This is our first baby and we are beyond excited and blessed. Lately, as its getting closer, I find myself starting to worry. I worry if I will be a good enough mother, and if I will be able to do everything right. I know deep down it will all be ok and that once he is born I will figure it all out. But I still find myself thinking about it all sometimes. It can be scary, knowing you are responisble for this little person. Anyone else??

The fact you're worrying shows how much you love and care for your baby already!! This is my 3rd and I'm worried too - worried incase I can't do it, worried my other children won't get enough of my attn, worried about everything!! It's perfectly normal and I think its healthy to have a few worries as it will make you think about what you're doing! Baby's unfortunately don't come with a guide book and if one is ever written which has every scenario in it, it would make billions!!! You will be fine hunny and you will be a fantastic mummy to your little baby boy!!!

I am exactly the same!
I have days were I am soooo excited and can't wait for this next chapter in our lives and feel really confident and ready and then I have other days when I think OMG! we're having a baby!! How will we cope?What if I am a rubbish mum?There's no going back now!
I think its probably completley normal and natural to worry,as tiggerz said it shows how much you care for your baby already because you worry.
Our hormones just make us a bit bonkers!!. Well I hope so anyway!! xx

I never felt that way, not even with my first. I just thought this is what we were ment to do and all we need to know is already built in, and you know what? I was right. You learn along the way but for the most part it comes so naturaly that you wont even notice

I feel that way too. Like today I was out shopping and was putting bits and pieces for the baby into my trolley and it seemed totally normal. Then I got home and unpacked the bags and I sat and marvelled at the baby things and got overwhelmed thinking about what's to come and how we will cope.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for the baby to come, but sometimes it hits home that life is about to change forever.
