When I was pregnant with my first I would cry and cry my whole pregnancy terrified that I was going to be one of those women that hurt her baby or something. I loved my son long before I had him but just was so scared and no one tells you this but the first few weeks will be the most emotionally draining of your life. Your hormones are trying to readjust you are trying to adjust to a whole new life and you will absolutely be sleep deprived. Expect to break down and cry and get frustrated. But you can and will do it and be fine and be great at it. The fact that you are already worried about it just shows that you are a reasonable intelligent caring mommy. Good luck

Deff feel you on that I have severe depression and anxiety and have no medication. I'm worried that after I give birth ill just be distant with the baby. Plus everytime I see a kid screaming its head off I freak out inside. Your not alone!

There are options to get help if you are feeling  depressed.... please remember that! pregnancy is such a hormone crazy roller coaster and emotionally it can be just as hard as the physical side of it... but you have ot remember it is okay to get help... post partum is common and so many woman dont get the help they need... i would start adressing your Dr about your concerns now as there should be something they can do to help you... also adress your concerns to your BF as well... both hopefully will help...take care! and congrats on yoru pregnancy

Being worried about being a mother is something that's totally common. It's a big thing but something you will automatically know how to do.
As for depression or PPD, if you have a good support system and good doctors then you should be fine. You just need to speak up if you do think you have it and not be ashamed. You can be helped. If you are already having issues, hopefully you've already talked to your doctor about it. If not, you should definitely tell them.
