overwhelmed
Anyone else a first timer and scared to death about everything...not being good at being a mommy, making the wrong decisions, not having enough money to give my baby everything they need....very overwhelming
I'm out of my first trimester and I'm still scared to death. Terrified literally of everything, I'm sitting in the doctors office right no scared out of my head there gonna ell me something horrible. Somethings wrong with the baby, I had a missed miscarriage, etc. I'm loosing my frickin mind, but your just have to believe that everything is gonna be okay! Pray on it!
Totally normal to worry. I haven't even allowed myself to worry about being a good mum, I'm still terrified I'm a useless incubator and my 20 week scan will show something is wrong. I've been so ill and not eating much of anything... I suck at pregnancy. Definitely not glowing in my second trimester. Haven't even looked at baby clothes or items. Don't think I'll be reassured until I'm regularly being kicked hard in the ribs and bladder!!
Amen! First time Mum and terrified of everything! It is extremely overwhelming, I go shopping for baby stuff now and I'll be on the brink of tears just by all the choices. It's difficult at times but I guess as we get further into the pregnancy, it'll become a lot easier to manage!
Go online a print a list. I crossed half of it off as stuff that you dont read and focus only on the essentials. Its very overwhelming. I have probabaly spend 20 hours researching prams and Im still not sure of my decesion!
I'll tell you what I went to target and was just looking at bottled and started to cry because there were so many choices....very overwhelming and intimidating for a first time mom!
My gran told me, you know what, in the old days babies slept in drawers with a little foam mattress, they don't need as much as we are told by the media. Every advertisement we see tells us there's a right and wrong for everything, and in so many cases that's simply not true. Just you do your best, love it and show it every day, and your baby will be fine. You can do this.
I've only had to worry abput myself for so long and now I have this huge responsibility....just very scary....
Yes! I think this has to be normal though. I'm an older first time mother and I'm nervous about a lot of things. I think you wouldn't be a caring mum if you didn't
