so scared!

I'm 20 years old ftm and as I get more and more pregnant (almost 17 weeks) I realize I know NOTHING about babies... I thought I knew quite a bit but now I'm just scared that my lack of knowledge is going to effect my baby... I keep reading stuff and am surprised by something new everyday.. I'm just scared I'm going to be a bad mom..

Having fear of being a bad mom already makes you better than a lot of moms. You care enough to be worried and that says something. You will be fine. There is a book called babys first year that I found helpful. Most of it will just come to you ALWAYS trust your instincts. Good luck!
