becoming a new mother

All such thoughts come naturally to a new mother. It comes due to constant worrying about the child and his well being. Just be happy and that will help your baby's development. Listen to good soothing music. Take care of yourself and don't waste time worrying. all the best for a beautiful future.

When I was pregnant with my now 17 month old I felt a lot of the same feelings you did. The one lesson I did learn is even though the thought of labour can be terrifying just try not to think about it. Every womans birthing experience is different so one of the worst things you can do is make yourself scared about it. That is just my advice and opinion anyhow! PurpleTeddyBear.

its normal to worry a little about what is going to happen after you have the baby. but i would stress yourself out so much. try not to be too much of a prefectionist, because after the baby, you might not have as much time. but relax, now is supposed to be special, not stressful!

The first time i was with my baby also. I was very strees :) I didnt know what should i do, when he was cried. Did he hungry? Or did his stomach sick? Or etc. Makes me tired, stress... Uhhh, now is over. He is 15 months and i know what he want :) Don't worry time move very fast, without you know it, your baby can walk and run around the house ^_^

Yes you really have to think everything when expecting a baby coz you want it all to be proper and right. But just think positive. Having a baby is a blessing and gift from above..=)

Congrats on your pregnancy. Don't worry everything will be fine but you do need to try and stop stressing. Think of the baby, if you are stressed they might feel it too. It sounds like you are going to be a wonderful mother because if you weren't you wouldn't be so worried about everything being perfect now.

You have your spouse with you to prepare everything not you alone because this is really tiring and stressfull which might affect your baby, so which do you prefer? to sacrifice your baby's health or take rest?

Stop getting worried over everything, your stresing yourself out more than necessary..Go with the flow, its all exciting and you should enjoy every second...Dont worry about the labour, there is no way to predict was is going to happen, every one is different and its out of your control..Make sure you have the basics, there is so much crap that you just simply do not need and its a waste of money, If you need something after bub comes then go and get it...Relax...

You are going through all the same things most mothers go through. I felt that way even with my 6th pregnancy. You just have to remember that the baby won't care if everything is perfect and it's more important to get your rest now while you still can. Just relax, take a breath and think about what is truly most important. Concentrate on those things and let the rest go until you feel up to doing them. I think the emotions you're feeling now are just the way you prepare yourself for all the emotions you have one your litle bundle arrives. It will be alright!

I am sure that everything you are doing for the baby now and in the future is just what needs to be done. Make sure that you get your rest and don't overdue yourself. If not everything is done before you have the baby, it is ok because it can be done afterwards. It has been awhile since I was a new mom, but I remember the most important things that I could not have lived without were the simplest things like the crib, diapers, bottles, washclothes, and onsies. The first few weeks your baby is going to sleep, eat and poop so as long as have those things covered you are good to go. If your room isn't painted or decorated, that is ok. Don't stress over the little things, just enjoy the days upcoming. Congrats and good luck.
