Don't get me wrong...I am beyond excited to meet my son! I recently saw a newborn and now I'm worried I'm gonna be too rough with my son and accidentally hurt him! And I'm also worried I'm not gonna enjoy motherhood as much as everybody says I am...is that normal???

I am due Jan 29 with my first child. A girl. I have all the same feelings your having. My cousin just had a baby (Nov 25) and when I hold him I feel like I'm not doing it right. I just hope I can be a good mom. I cry a lot thinking how much I don't want her to come out. I like that I take her everywhere I go and she's safe,  warm and protected....when she comes out...its going to get harder and harder to protect her as she gets older. I just want her close to me forever. I know how you feel....but stay positive and think of all the amazing that are going to happen. We will be OK.

My son is going to be 9 in January, to this day I'm terrified of newborns.... When I held him I was fine, that fear goes away... You'll understand when you hold him that is your entire world in your arms, you will do great!! It's an amazing feeling... After him, I'm still terrified of newborns and holding them. My second little boy arrives in February and I can't wait!!
