I have a 4 yr old & now pregnant with my 2nd. My mother left me when I was 10months & although I now have contact with her she does not have maternal instinct. So I constantly fear I will wake up & turn out like her. I do feel some women were not meant to have children, but its usually bcuz they experienced something traumatic. U have that maternal instincts bcuz u have used it. Just do ur best here is a quote I love.

"There will be so many times you will feel like you failed, but in the eyes, heart, & mind of your child you are super mom."

Yea I always have my nephew he lived with me basically for a year and half and he is very close to me my nieces always wanting to come to me. It is weird how things change when your the one having a baby.

I felt the same way when i had my first now im on baby number four. Dont worry ur maternal mood will kick in. Everyone parents different. There maybe times were u think this is wrong as long as u love n protect ur baby u will be a great parent! There maybe moments were u feel overwhelmed just take u two to five mins n calmed down. Its okay if the baby cry a little. Either way ur going to be great!

I feel exactly like that. My nieces and nephews are at my house everyday. They pretty much live with me as they only go home maybe once a week. I know how to take care of kids but its different when it's your own. And my nieces and nephews are my life and I love them more than anything in this world and I'm scared that after the baby's born, they'll feel like I don't love them anymore. Idk I just have a lot of stuff going through my head lol.
