Any doubts?

At almost 30 weeks and have been on bed rest for 2 weeks already. I don't know if I just have too much time on my hands or what, but I'm scared of what the future holds! Am I really going to be a great mom? Does anyone else feel so worried also?

    Anyone who doesn't doubt themselves a little bit when having their first kid is delusional. Becoming a parent is a big deal!! BUT women around the world do it every day with less than we have and the world keeps turning. :) I still question myself every day and DD is nearly two. The doubts never go away, you just kinda learn to do your best, and at the end of the day that's all anyone (including baby) can ask of you!

    Yes! And I'm on my 4th and petrified. Everyday I doubt myself and think of all the things I haven't achieved (like folding the washing etc or forgetting to brush the toddlers teeth), but I carry on. Some days are hard, really hard, but kids are adaptive and forgiving and although things seem too much sometimes, I know my kids love me no matter what and they are far less judgemental of me than I am if myself.

    Good luck - you'll be fine.

    Absolutely, you aren't alone.  Sometimes when I'm sitting around I get nervous like, am I even going to know what I'm supposed to do?  Am I just going to cry all the time and be miserable?  I think, like any major life event, it's just going to take time to adjust, and even at the beginning when you feel like "OH MY GOD, WHAT DID I GET MYSELF IN TO" just know that you will settle in eventually.  At least that's what I keep telling myself. haha

    I know how you feel. With my first this was a huge worry. With my second I was worried that there was no way I could love my second child as much as I love my first. Now I am worried that I am having a girl and I won't know what to do with her. I think worrying is just part of being a mom.

    Every day! Sometimes with all the mood swings and aches and pains of being pregnant I feel like I've lost track of why I wanted a baby in the first place. Just trying to have faith that the sight of this little guy's face will make it all worthwhile, like so many other moms say. Hang in there!
