Did you think

Did you think about being pregnant rather than having the baby? Did it just hit you all at once when LO was born or were you aware the whole time that there was a baby on the way and werent surprised/overwhelmed/shocked when LO got here finally?

Just wondering

I was pretty prepared but nervous. Once they handed her to me outside of the NICU I was petrified that I wouldnt know what to do... Now it seems like I was made for this but the first few weeks I wanted to put her back! lol

    I feel like I was pretty prepared. This wasn't the first baby I've taken care of by a long shot (I'm a nanny by trade), so it was more of the 100% me taking care of him that scared me. I think in a small way it really didn't hit me until he was laying there on my chest. I was worried I wouldn't love him, but I immediately did. It's strange what mothers worry about :D

    I had always thought of my pregnancy as having a baby (cause otherwords it would have been insufferable) but it didn't really hit me until I scheduled my induction that I was actually having a baby.

    And according to my husband I was born to be a mommy and given the fact that the only things that have really gone wrong are minor bouts of depression (which my DH can coach me through), and total break downs dealing with her growth spurts, I feel like I've been handling myself pretty well.

    I think I was 'prepared' as much as a person who has never had a baby can be! But it is still quite a shock, isn't it?

    It's our first so we were as prepared as we were gonna be. I always knew how it would unfold but the morning I got induced it really hit me that it was my turn to go through labor haha. Then when we went home I had mixed feelings that no one would bw monitoring me weekly anymore. What if I screwed up? :)

    I think anyone who says they're prepared for their first is lying. Nothing can prepare you. We thought we were prepared for the twins. They proved us wrong.
