scared of becoming a first time mommy

[babystocker]

So I'm due in a bout five months and I am so scared! Most time I feel like I am not maternal. I keep thinking about the cryring and the middle of the night and how I'm going to deal with it. And I know its too late but sometimes I wish I still was pregnant. I just want to know did anyone feel like this and if so when did it go away???

I'm not much a kid friendly type either. But for some reason they like me, maybe because I'm short so I'm closer to their height, lol.
My mom is not the warm and fazzy apple pie baking type either so part of me had always worry I'm going to be really bad at the job. But I do have complete faith in my DH, he's going to be a great daddy. Hopefully we can balance each other out, lol.

You are going to be a great mother! I was worried with my first to, but once you complete your pregnancy and hold that precious angel in your arms mother instinct comes naturally.

Im kinda going through this I m 30 and no children i could never get pg till now but the thing is i have been on my own since i was 18 i havent had some1 who needed my constant attention im hoping i can keep up and be a good mommy! i got way too used to solitude especially in a verbally abusive marriage i really kept to myself and im still pretty quiet its hard to get over those things!!

I swore i would be like my sister.   Lol but it came naturally.   I think i may have over did it with my first. But u learn quickly.   Just make sure u get ur mommy time in.

I was not maternal at all! My two year old is the best thing thats happened to me. The second your baby is on your arms everything clicks into place and you know what to do. Make sure you have help and support from your partner and get help best feeding if you choose to and if you have a hard time.

I did. I HATED children (for the most part still do) and always thought motherhood was eternal servitude and bondage. I thought I was too selfish to have a child. It definitely does change quite a bit once they are here. I wouldn't trade me daughter for anything in this world, and would do it all again for her. My husband was however sterilized so we're done having babies. ;)
