So I have been trying to get pregnant for years. I lost two so with this pregnancy going good my husband and I are ecstatic. When you were pregnant with your first did you ever get any anxiety about having a baby? It's hard to describe...I just get a really scared feeling and it makes me feel panicky. Please dont get me wrong 99% of the time I am so excited but once in a while I just get scared. Maybe b/c life will change, maybe I think I wont be a good mom, or if I can handle both of us being military, I just dont know??!!. I have no clue and I want to see if yall can relate in some way or diagnose me lol. My husband is in Afghanistan so you can see why i turn to yall...he has enough on his plate and I definitely dont want him to think i dont want a baby.
I think is natural in any pregnancy. I thought it was just my first, and thats why I would get anxious or paranoid even. Well i'm on my 3rd now and still get the same feelings at times. It can be overwhelming at times, but I just sit back and say a prayer and remind myself it will all be ok. I think a lot of it is hormones and the unknown really. Don't worry it will all be Aok!
completely normal to have those feelings...even if you are not a first time mommy! taking care of another new life is a big task and we only want to do the best that we can do for this little baby. you are going to do great! :)
Well Im 19 and preegnant and im a singal mother to be and for me this is hard and scary as well because i am a first time mother to be as well.. and i'm sorry for the losses you have indured in the past and proud that this one is wrkin out for you.. and i appreciate the services that you adn your husband are giving to this country. To be honest if it wasnt for my sister i dnt k wat i would do because i ahve an ovarin cyst and i ddnt k for the longest time that i was p[regnant i thought i was like 5 mnths along and come to find out in nov. i was only 7wks. so my situations not the same but scary for me as well because i have to try and find a way to provide for this baby as well as go to school which i start in a few wks..
That is exactly how I felt. I was scared of everything of giving birth, how I was going to take care of a little newborn baby. I am now pregnant with my second and all those same thoughts are going through my head. What if this happens and how am I going to take care of a toddler and a newborn. Its normal and you adjust. Big bonus is when you see your baby for the first time and think wow me and hubby made this.
well the good news is that yes it is normal to be nerves. if you werent id think something was wrong with you. lol. i am on my second one and i still think "oh my what if this one duznt behave like the the first, am i going to be abel to handel 2 kids...." its deffenetly normal...thats how you prepare. and it is scary feeling like that. i couldnt imagon doing it on my own, but it is possabel. and when the baby is born, its like instint knoledg...the second you see that wonderful child, everything fits. you may not know what youre doing half the time but its ok, that baby will love you no matter what. if you ever need to talk or have qustions, im alway here. helps having someone youll probley never meet to talk to.....
Thank you so much Ladies! You made me feel so so much better!!!!
I feel that way and I'm on baby #3. But as I get closer to the due date, I find myself getting more exciting and can't wait.
It's totally normal. I have it from time to time. Everything just gets overwhelming and there's so much to worry about.. You've just got to realize that there's a really low possibility of anything going wrong and everything will turn out just fine!
Last week I got really nervous before meeting my new midwife and told SO I didn't want to be pregnant anymore, he told me to suck it up "This baby is coming whether you like it or not". So it's totally normal ;) It will go away once you've got the baby in your arms at the end of it all.
Trying to find a replacement for my old caffeine habit?
