So it's finally hit me. I'm going to be a mummy in 21 weeks.

For some bizarre reason this pregnancy hasn't felt real, I think it's because it came so soon after our loss.
I've of course brought baby things and felt excited, but last night they actually kicked and I was so happy. And BAM!
It hit me I'm going to be a mummy in 21 weeks.
And oh boy, I'm scared a bit! OH is brilliant with kids and will help me and I have a supportive family it's just being left alone with our lillun what if I'm not a good mum? I don't even know how to change a nappie! I can keep my friend's kids entertained for hours but if they cry I just hand them back.
What if they don't like me? What if I scare them? What if they don't stop crying? What if I do something wrong?
My head's about to explode!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaw don't worry hun you'll be a fab Mum All that stuff will just come naturally once your LO is here I've never even held a new baby let alone changed nappies and all that jazz but the way I see it it just means it'll be even more special to do it with Evie x

It only seems like yesterday I found out, and me and my boyfriend were talking yesterday, and he thought 24 weeks was about 4 months bless him haha I was like no babe im 6 months. Even shocked myself when I said it, its soo surreal

And trust me Im the same, everything will be fine, Ive just got myself a support worker [helps with college, parenting classses etc] so maybe try see if they have one in your area and get extra support from people who arent directly involved, I feel much more confident about it already thanks to her xxx

Don't worry! Your Little One will feel instantly soothed when ever they are cuddled into you, or when they can hear your voice. It's because you've carried them for 9 months the bond mother and baby have is strong. Plus your maternal instincts will soon kick in.

Ahh thanks girlies, feel a little bit better now. Your right my maternal insiscts will hopefully kick in. I'm already cleaning like a mad woman and I'm only 18 weeks lol!

Oo I don't think they'd give me a support worker cos i'm classed as an adult as I work full time and OH is 26. Who do I talk to about parenting classes? I did want to see what they are like. x

I work too, so its worth looking into. Do you have any childrens centre near you ? they can normally sort stuff like that out, if not try the nct they have them all over the place xxx

We have a nursery, but I think they're just child care. I'll look into it and ask my midwife. Thanks.
