second guessing

Im 15 weeks so i have a few to go :p but sometimes i think about having my child here with us and im so excited and imagine everything that will happen. I love it! But most of the time i psyche myself out and i think im not ready for this. My entire life is going to be different and i dont know what im doing and how am i going to handle taking care of an infant and working? My life isnt going to be about just myself and what i want anymore. Is this normal to feel and think? I dont want to be a bad mom for feeling this way and it upsets me :(

I'm on #4 and still feel overwhelmed. Lol but everything always works out. Don't worry. Ull fall in love with the baby and won't be able to imagine what life was like without him/her.

Believe it or not, the worry you feel is a good indication that you are already in mommy mode. You can do it. Dont worry, just relax and take care of yourself. :-) congrats

I used to feel that way too in the begining knowing theres a little person depending on you and that your responsible for got me really scared but once i started to feel my little baby move than i just feel the deepest love and i couldnt be more sure that things happen for a reason and its a life changing experience. And i cannt wait to have my baby :)))

There r uncertainties whenever there's a big life change, especially when having a baby.  But as long as u know ur going to love ur baby, ull be fine.  we all go thru it.  I'm going thru this now, as I'm the main breadwinner in my family and I don't know how the bills will get paid once I go on maternity leave since my husband literally just started a new business and hasn't earned any money yet, and we added a extra payment to our monthly expenses and we will need to pay for daycare once I return to work.  All I know is that we always wanted our baby and that we'll worry about daycare when we cross that bridge.  In the end everything will work out as it always does.
