June 2014 Moms

Stressing out...

Sometimes I feel like I am behind. I don't have much for the baby yet and I know nothing about BFing. I am a FTM and it is finally setting in that I am clueless!!!
DF hugged me the other night during a minor breakdown and told me that people do this everyday and that if our parents did it then we will be fine.
You ladies ever get the overwhelming feeling knowing that June really isn't that far away?

  • Hugs!
    I've totally been there so many times!! One day ill feel like I got this and the next I feel helpless and confused.
    Take a breath. You'll get it ( I'm pretty sure parenthood will be a series of feeling clueless/ ill prepared at times )

    My midwife, sister in law and DH(although he's as clueless as me) are great resources.
  • Totally normal - I'm having a go with the flow attitude!

  • Thanks, I just keep thinking that DF and I are pretty smart people and I think of the "people of Walmart" and some of them have reproduced so I'm sure we can make it! Lol

  • I feel the same way. We have almost nothing for baby yet. I haven't decided if I want to BF yet. I feel like I have so much to do and a lot of decisions to make in the next few months,

  • It'll all work out mama! Take it little by little so it's not overwhelming

  • I'm mobile so I can't see tickers, but you're only halfway there, if that. You have plenty of time to buy and plan. Look into parenting and lactation classes at your hospital. All will be fine :-)

  • I feel you! I wanted to take birthing and breastfeeding classes at my hospital, but they are only offered in the evenings- when I work :(
  • I was super stressed with DD but once she popped out every fear/reservation/ anxiety just goes right out the window. Your mommy genes kick right in.

    You'll do great just sit back and enjoy. Pregnancy goes by fast and when that baby comes it goes by even faster. It only happens once, enjoy!

  • The only thing I have for baby is a onesie set I got from Carter's on sale. My pregnancy was unplanned and I am not sure I'll ever be 100% prepared but my SO reassures me that everything will work out in the end. Try not to stress!

    Sometimes I feel like I am behind. I don't have much for the baby yet and I know nothing about BFing. I am a FTM and it is finally setting in that I am clueless!!! I'm right there with you!!! I'm a FTM and totally terrified and clueless! I have the anatomy scan on Wed and after that I'm going to start working on things! DF hugged me the other night during a minor breakdown and told me that people do this everyday and that if our parents did it then we will be fine. You ladies ever get the overwhelming feeling knowing that June really isn't that far away?
    I'm right there with you!!!
  • The lactation nurse in the hospital will help with breastfeeding and will answer questions and as pp's said its a learning process all babies are different so you never know how you will handle your baby until its here. As for stuff you need if someone throws you a shower you will get so much. If not the hospital sends you home with all the essentials and I'm sure by then you will have accumulated some stuff. It all falls into place :)
  • Thanks, I just keep thinking that DF and I are pretty smart people and I think of the "people of Walmart" and some of them have reproduced so I'm sure we can make it! Lol

  • Right there with you! I've been learning quite a bit about BFing and other things by reading posts on here. Others' opinions and experiences are super helpful and insightful for sure.

  • I guess it's just the amount of info out there. So much of it contradicts each other. DF just shrugs and says we will be fine! Glad he is so sure!! It is going by very fast and I am sure everything will be fine. Encouraging words always help though!! :) thanks y'all!
