More terrified than excited!

Hey guys! I just want to know if anyone else feels this way or felt this way and how you dealt with it?

Im 16w 4d and Im feeling really guilty!
I'm absolutely terrified. I am excited but more horribly terrified!

I havent cried so much in my life.. what if Im a terrible mum? What about money? Will I lose my business? (Im self employed) Will the baby be happy? Am I doing everything right? What if its born with something wrong with it because I did something wrong?

I cant eat without feeling sick, Im constantly tired - I unknowingly slept for 12 hours the other day! Im so stressed all the time then I worry that the stress is harming the baby so it makes me stress more! Then I think "I could do with a cigarette or a glass of wine" but I cant have them so I think "fine a cup of tea" but oh no - make sure its decaf!! :/

Anyone else feel more scared than excited? I am excited a little bit but Im terrified that Im gona be a terrible mum :/ does anyone else feel like this?

Sorry if I seem so whiney! Xx

Yes i worry all the time! There are sooo many things that can go wrong. And then when they go to school what if they're bullied or kidnapped or theres a school shooting..and you have somebody else's life in your hands...its very scary...

I'm terrified because I have a 2 yr old and he's a handful like most 2 yr olds but I'm scared of being overwhelmed and not knowing how to juggle two small kids. But u won't be a bad mom. It comes naturally when baby is born.
