MandieDale

This is my first pregnancy.. So I'm a newbie. Sometimes it still hits me like oh crap I'm gunna be a mom.. Then I get nervous and think about child birth, and if I'm gunna be a good mom.. Ect.. Does this ever happen to any of you new mommys too?? Or if your not a new mom did it happen with your first pregnancy?

I had a breakdown the other day because I thought "I'm going to suck as a mom". But then I remember that I am going to be a good mom and that it will all be ok. It just a new path and its something we have to get our minds used to.

Yes, totally normal! And the thing is nothing can fully prepare you and when the baby comes somehow you just figure it all out and after a while it all comes together and life is good!

This. I had this moments during pregnancy but so many more when the baby was here.

I do t think it really hot home when I was pregnant. I've always looked after my brothers kids so I don't think I ever seriously thought about my own being different. Until I gave birth! The second they held her up every feeling in the world hit me and I threw up everywhere, lol.
Not the loving picture you have in mind when picturing your birth
But the nurse was brilliant she sorted me out whilst they cleaned my baby and then she was straight over for a cuddle. It hits everyone in different ways and it didn't have anything to do with our bonding, etc we're amazingly close, she's 9. And I didn't vomit with our second :0

This is so normal.  I remember thinking "Crap, I'm gonna be a Mom!  Who decided THIS was a good idea?!"  We had been trying to several months at that point, so it's not like it was unexpected.  Once my son was born, there were difficult times, but everything worked out, you just kind of figure it out.

The hard truth is, you will mess up once in a while, but kids are resilient and very forgiving.  Just love them the best you can, feed them the best you can, teach them the best you can, and don't be afraid to ask for help or advice if you need it.

I think it's natural to have those fears. I remember having a mini panic attack when my friend had her baby and we went to see them in the hospital. It seemed so surreal that they were just going to let her leave on their own with this tiny little baby. It freaked me out lol. 

With DS I just kept telling myself that stupid people have babies all the time and if their kids survive then as two intelligent people DH and I should do fine.

STM. And this was a planned pregnancy. I'm still freaking the fluck out about it. It's been 9 and a half years since I've had a little baby!

I literally had a panic attack after my 28 week appointment with my last pregnancy.  When they told me that I was at the point of coming in every two weeks, I finally felt like this was getting real.  I'm sure if you're worried about being a good mom, you most definitely will.  Bad mothers don't worry about those types of things.
