Scared?

[MarissaFaith]

Anyone else scared of how different life is about to be? How we will be in control of another whole life? How almost nothing will be the same anymore.

Today I all the sudden got cold feet on this whole baby thing and decided he can stay in there forever.. or at least until I'm not scared.

I wonder about this everyday. Just how is life going to change? What little things are going to come up that I'm not going to know how to handle? I read everything I can about pregnancy, birth, and new parenting that I can find and I still don't feel 100% ready.

I think about it all the time. I always ask my boyfriend if he's scared too, but he says no. I feel like I'm the only one feeling scared at how much life with change, although I don't think he realizes how much a baby changes your life since he doesn't really know kids or any of that stuff. I'm scared of not having 'us' time for my boyfriend and I. So scary, but I think it will be a great thing when the time comes. May be overwhelming at times, but I know it'll be well worth it.

It didn't even hit me till last night!! We went to the emergency room/birthing center because of a little scare...and on my way there I was like Oh my God...I am going to have TWO kids soon...and its so weird thinking about it. And I thought of labor with my son....and got a panic attack. Like you said,ill keep him in my belly forever!! Hahaha. it went away today,but it was so wrote and hit me all at once...so I know what cha mean. Dont worry,when baby comes...all those fears and doubts will disappear

It is scary but it is worth every single second of every single day.

I have been scared since I found out, but I am also extremely happy. It is a huge mix of both.

It is scary, how much everything changes, but you won't change it for the world

I go through times of being stupidly excited and then absolutely petrified of being a mummy to 2! I love my daughter more than I can say but sometimes its really hard work and I its like what am I gunna do when I've got 2 screaming at me?! But I know I'll get through it and I know I'll cope because you just do and because they are 100% worth it.

It is extremely scary because you don't know what to expect. Especially since you speak to other moms who say "Being a mom is soo hard" or "Your life will completely change once you've had a baby". Which it does, I'm not going to lie. I didn't realize how much my life would change until he was actually born though.

The newborn days were extremely difficult for me. 24/7 with a baby on my boob, can't go in the shower because if I lay him down he will scream, can't pee because if I lay him down he will scream, etc. Toddlerhood has been interesting, especially when we're shopping and he's screaming his head off around the supermarket. LOL makes me really wish sometimes that he was still a newborn baby who likes being pushed in a stroller.

One of the biggest adjustments for me was not having time to myself anymore. I really get none, unless he's asleep but then I'm usually cleaning up the house and by the time I sit down to watch TV, he wakes up and wants to play. Sleep was a big adjustment too, be prepared to get little to none for the first few months (or 16 months in my case).

I absolutely love my son. I really wouldn't change having him for the world. Your life changes but in a good way. One of my favorite things about being a parent is watching him grow, learn new words, etc. It's just fabulous. You will love it too but it's normal to be scared. I am scared too about him growing up! I wish he could stay 2 forever (no, I don't.. terrible twos!)

life is so much better

It's nerve racking that someone so tiny is going to depend on me.. for everything and for so long. Me and my OH were talking about how insane it is.. but we both still wouldn't change the fact we're going to have him xx

I was thinking about it all last night and I wouldn't mind if she stays in my belly until I'm 40! haha. I am absolutely petrified.

the nerves haven't quite hit me yet, i hope they do soon so they don't come all at once

I'm scared. Yesterday I had a complete meltdown and was like I don't want a baby anymore. I think it's normal. You're life is going to be so different, and you're used to only having to look after yourself whereas when the baby's born it won't be all about you. It'll be less about you and more about the baby and that is scary. There are a lot of fears associated with having a baby, but so many pros as well. You can't have good times without having bad times as well, that's how life works.
