scared!!!

So I'm 15 weeks , I've had plenty of ultrasounds and I'm having a healthy baby. But I'm so scared of being a mother. What if I'm a horrible mother .I don't feel a connection with my baby yet , even though it's the only person that will know my heart beat sounds like from the inside ... Am I a horrible person ... The baby's father is sooo excited wants to get married . I'm 22 . I should be out w friends .. But instead I'm at home getting fat .. Am I the only person who feels this way .. Will it change ?

I didn't either. Till I hit 20wks and it really hit me, that connection. I think it was because I found out what the gender was. Don't worry, no matter what the age, no one is ever completely "ready" to be a first time mom. And the fact that you worry, shows that you really care.
