Hi Moms to be! I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I'm starting to over think, and get worries that won't go away.... Worries of the unknown! I'm a first time mom and the unknown is scary. Anyone else having these worries?
How delivery is going to go? Being a mom? Being home alone after my husband goes back to work...
I'm sure these are all usual fears but I just wanted to talk to some other moms instead of stressing myself out...
Re: Anxieties!!!
I think it's normal to worry. Everything is going to change, literally everything. So worrying is going to make sense. It'll all work out
Now I'm so anxious about having a csection and finding a great, nurturing Nanny for my 2 kids. I have never had surgery before so the unknown is killing me.
I'm afraid I won't be good at being a mom, I'm a great baby sitter, but I'm scared that when it comes to being around a baby 24/7 it'll get to me.
I'm scared I'll have a bout of PPD and won't be willing to get help.
My SO plans to spend a week at home with me after our son is born - that will help, my mom will probably drive me NUTS being over at my house everyday- but I'm willing to accept the help lol
I'm scared my baby will be born too early, and I won't be prepared. All I have for my son is a few clothes (different sizes) so, that's scary.... I'm also scared he'll be born early and he will have to stay in the NICU and I won't know how to handle that situation - medicine has come a LONG way but, it's the "you are supposed to have your baby and take him home, not leave them at the hospital" aspect of things-
So as you can see, you DEFINATELY are not alone. We all are scared..... Sometimes I drive myself crazy because of how scared I am...
But I know, it'll be worth it in the end
I think we are all due around the holidays too (I am due in Jan 4) so I'm also nervous about timing. I hope I can enjoy the holidays and not go into labor on Christmas!
And birth. Ugh birth. I am so anxious about going into labor early while I'm at work or something. And to add to that anxiety, the hospital I'm delivering at is almost an hour away!!
I just want to be there with my little love.
Definitely try and get as much half as uou can with baby and house chorus. And if you feel overwhelmed reach out to someone close.
