Anyone else feel this way?? I feel like everyone wants their baby to come out asap... I'm excited, but I'm also really terrified.... Kinda just want baby to stay put. FTM and this is suddenly starting to feel real... oh my god. I don't feel ready at all for this big change that's coming any day now

Re: I'm getting nervous- stay in there baby!
I am also quite nervous, but only because I don't know how DD1 is going to react. I am SO ready to not be pregnant anymore, though.
Everything will work out in the end. You can do it!
Hey don't feel bad!
I'm a FTM too and last night I had two painful cramp-like contractions. TWO... that's it. Totally went into freak out mode. I was really disappointed in how i reacted because I've researched everything pregnancy and baby related to death, have the nursery 100% completed, have all the diapers and wiped and baby stuff I need checked off my 4 page long list, my hospital bag is packed, my questions are all answered by the OBGYN and everything is good to go... and i still panicked over 2 contractions.
I guess it made it real for me to, it wasn't until last night that i was like "omg... this baby could legitimately be here TONIGHT... and be full term, and I will be a mom and nothing will ever be the same again."
I didn't really expect to be as cool as a cucumber or anything... but I also didn't expect to feel that kind of fear and anxiety.
I laid down and had some water and didn't have anymore contractions, then had a good hormonal cry about how I am scared I wont be the best mother in the world for this baby... but i feel fine this morning! LoL!
OMG! I thought I was the only one. Yesterday, I literally I had meltdown while getting things in order with the nursery. I'm so scared, terrified, just in shock that this is happening! So many things are running through my head. And I wish my sister (who lives in germany) was here already to help me! My husband is at work all day, I'm on maternity leave, and not used to NOT going to work. I cant believe I'm about to give birth to a human being! I mean... this is crazy.. I'm crazy, my husband is crazy... this baby's going to be crazy! I'm so used to being on my own schedule, and doing my own thing with my cats.. lol... what in the world!
So yeah... I'm definitly feeling it.. like i said, i had a meltdown yesterday.. crying like I had done something horrible.. although I know what I'm doing is nothing short of a lil miracle. My mom and sister and everyone around me keep telling me I'm gonna do fine, and that things are going to be okay.... but I'm just doubting everything. I dont feel ready, I dont feel prepared... I wish I would have babysat some of my friends kids more, but even then... its not the same...
this lil one better stay in till her due date.. I've got another 3 weeks...
Thank goodness for all you women who feel the same way as I! Excited yet terrified is the best way to describe how I feel as well. This is going to sound terrible and selfish, but last night I was talking to DH about how my freedom is gone and we should have waited and all that. And now today is a new day, and I am completely excited for DS to arrive.
I guess I'm just relieved that I'm not the only one with crazy mixed emotions!
Goodbye little angel(7/22/2011)....see you in heaven
Goodbye my second angel (9/18/2011)
So glad to see that some of you all are feeling the same....
DH and I were engaged and not planning to be married for another year or two, and not planning to have kids for 3 or 4 years, when we found out that we were expecting... I was terrified at the beginning and then I thought I had gotten over it, until LO dropped last Tuesday. A lot of the time I'm fine, but sometimes I'm scared that I'll hate being a mom, and a lot of the time I'm scared that I'll pick up too many of my mom's habits and I'll screw up our kids a lot. I turned out alright, but knowing what I know now, I'd never hand my mom a child to raise, and I really don't want my kids to feel as spiteful as I am sometimes.
This is my but DS was born at 37 weeks. Does this mean I only have 2 weeks? Yikes! Am I ready to do this all over again? This being labor, round the clock feedings, changing, newborn crying, worrying about weight gain and healing. Okay, momentary freak out over. It will all be fine.
I am SO ready. (its too early for me, but once we are full term I am ready). I would rather have my baby in my arms then sitting on the nerve on my back. I would rather wake up every 2-3 hours, nurse and fall back asleep then wake every hour to pee or with heartburn. I am SO ready for another baby. I have no real worries about my older kids as they play well and already have a sibling each. I am just excited to nurse again, cuddle a newborn again and change those little diapers.
They grow up faster with each baby and I want to enjoy every second.
I do remember a few days before i had DS I had a mini panic attack and sat in his rocker for an hour wondering how I could NOT screw up his life
Its normal for FTMers.
With DD I was SO nervous about how DS would react, he was fine after 2 wks. Now I am ready, no worries here except it DH makes it home from the rig in time
Make a pregnancy ticker
This is how I feel about DS. He is so curious and loud and a 3 year old lol! So I want LO to come, but just nervous about how they are going to interact.
Me!! I am nervous and I will be a 3rd time mom. My two older boys are 13 and 11 so I really don't remember what it's like to have a baby in the house. So much has changed in the last 10 years or so. It's like being a FTM all over again!
That being said, though, I cannot wait to see my oldest son becoming a big brother again and the younger one becoming a big brother. The dynamics of all the relationships in our household will no doubtedly change and it'll be interesting to see how that turns out! It's been just the 4 of us for so long....I'm curious to see how this baby will just rock our world!!
