Feeling scared

[Bubalu]

I'm generally excited now that I feel more pregnant but just occasionally I worry that I won't bond with my LO and that I'll find that I'm not cut out for motherhood....then I slap myself and remember the reasons why I wanted to conceive in the first place.

I guess we all have our worries!

Just nipping in to give some advice to you first timers

I was TERRIFIED fro the day I got my PG, I am such a wuss when it comes to pain and I never thought I would get through it...I was delighted to be PG but SO scared, I used to randomly burst into petrified tears of panic, and OH would have to cuddle me until I calmed down, I used to wail "I cant do it, I just cant"

We went to all the parent craft classes and they were good but to be honest the best suport I had was my girls on here, they were wonderful when I was scared

When the big day finally came (I was induced when I was 11 days overdue) so that prolonged the fear even more!!! Once I got to the hozzie, I was so calm and excited that it ended up being a wonderful experience, even though I had a c section after 36 hours, it was just so magical and I loved every bit of the whole experience!!

Being a mum is so hard, NOTHING prepares you for it but I tell you girls it is the BEST thing ever, and you WONT leave your bubba in a supermarket (I used to fear that too ) and you WILL know what to do...

Its just fab, enjoy every second of your pregnancies and the first 12 months coz it goes SOOOOO fast!!

Don't be scared - although I know it's easier said than done!!

Sharne - at our antenatal classes it as a 4 week course with stuff like how to feed a baby, pain relief & what to expect during labour and the final week we met the HV (who I never saw again!!) and we also had the nappy rep who sold us our cloth nappies. I learnt breathing techniques very quickly on the phone to my mw whilst in labour

Don't be frightened to ask any questions, no matter how TMI, cos we've all been there (I was almost there this time last year!)

Does anyone feel scared?

I do a little bit, a bit nervous to be exact i've never had a bump before and there will be a full grown baby in there and everything...

I thought i would never feel like this but now i can feel the baby move and even see if from the outside I am finding this a little scarey! Its really odd. Hopefully its something that we will all get used to x x x
