do you ever feel...

Like you're too young to be a mommy?

I'm 26 and preg. with my frist... I totally not that young compared to alot of you girls on here but sometimes I still feel like I'm so young and what the heck am I doing!! I feel like I'm still a teenager sometimes. Both DH and I have older married siblings but ours will be the frist grandchild and most of my friends don't have kids yet either.

Yes. I'm 25 and on #2! Sometimes I wonder "is this real? Or am I just playing house??"

Today I am 28.. I feel too young to be a "grown up" Kind of thinking... when did that happen....

my friends have just started having babies too, so I guess I'm in with the "norm"

My cousin called to wish me a happy b-day and asked how old I am, I told her, she reassured me with a "Gosh you're old" Thanks!

you're not alone, i think that crosses every womans mind regardless of age when it comes to their first. life changing adjustment... all for the better that we will, obvously figure out.

I'm totally in that boat. Some of our friends are married, only like one couple has a baby (which they JUST had last week), but the majority are still partying.

I remember when I went to the store to get the pregnancy test I totally felt like "bad" like I was a teenager buying a pregnancy test and as I was walking out there were 3 nuns coming into Wal-Mart and I like shoved the test into my purse like I was doing something wrong. I told my best friend and she cracked up! I was like "I felt so young and dirty, even though I'm 26 and a married woman!" LOL

well I'm 22, so that should make you feel a bit older, jk. but yeah I feel like everyone is older than I am. But then again there is always Jamie Lynn Spears and girls like that.

I have had several moments of reminding myself that I AM old enough to have a baby, even though I am 28...I think it's just something you always think of as being so far off in life that it still feels surreal! ?:)

Yes, you are not alone. I am 27, and pregnant with my first. I remember when I found I was pregnant I had a brief "oh shit I am not ready" moment, but I think it is just the reality of all the changes that will be taking place. Our baby will be the first grandbaby too, and I feel better about it knowing we are in a position at this point in life to comfortably have a baby.

All the time! I had dd when I was 26 and it felt so surreal for a long time. Now at 29 I am feeling too young for 2 kids. I don't think I will ever feel like an adult though.

I'm right there with you and I'm 28 - we live in brooklyn and none of our friends here have kids, and everyone I work with looks at me like I'm so young to be having a baby.
