I recently became a first time mom as well (July 5th). I was never a kid person and I avoided babies at all cost. I never ever thought of being a parent and people who know me would tell you I was definitely not a maternal person. All that changed with the birth of my son. It really does come naturally. You just have to trust in that. The second you hold that baby it is like a switch that gets turned on. Granted there is a lot of trial and error. Not everyone is a "super mom" right off the bat. I can recommend two books that were so informative to me. The first one is "What to Expect the First Year" and the second is "The Happiest Baby on the Block". I also found an incredible network of Mom's online. They are incredible. It is called www.AmityMama.com. I encourage you to check them out.

Usually when you have a baby people come out of the woodwork and want to help. What specific issues are you worried about? I am a mom of three and would be glad to offer any advice to you! By the way, it really will come naturally. It is the weirdest thing but it does happen. Every mom was a first time mom at some point. You will do better than you think.

For what it's worth, I didn't find that things came naturally & the best advice I can give, is to not feel guilty if it doesn't. My baby had colic for the first four months of her life and I just couldn't figure out how to get her to stop crying. She never slept for more that 20-30 minutes at a time (day and night), and was miserable whenever she was awake. (Don't worry; this is unusual!) I couldn't tell my baby's cries apart for months, and I found it depressing to see how confidently mothers of other babies were dealing with them. The good news is that after 4 months, she started smiling and sleeping a bit more, and she's now a happy, responsible 7 year old. At the time I thought I was doing everything wrong, but I realize now that all the things I'd worried about didn't matter in the long run. I also liked the "What to Expect" series. Don't take everything they say as the final word, but they give a good overview of anything you might want to know as you're going along. Congratulations on your pregnancy!

it does, ur baby will let u know when he/she is hungry, tired, and pooped. as a first time mom calling the dr. for everything is mandatory, ever 1 has done it so don't worry! it will come naturally!

Just ask all the questions in hospital im sure you will be fine they are easy to look after just need some love and care hopefully you have help from your family never say no to help

you will probably surprise yourself.... its wonderful I have 6 @ home and 7 in total i would have loved more but hubby said NO more lol
