All through your pregnancy, I'm convinced you grow to adjust to being a parent, and things come quite naturally.
In your case, maybe you're just not ready yet, but you'll know when you are, and I'm sure you'll make a marvellous mum because you're worried that you might not. Don't ever let those feelings get you down, or so anxious that you never want to experience motherhood because believe me, it's the most rewarding position to be in, in the world.
Take you time, and when you know you're ready to take on the responsibilities of being a mother, you'll never look back.
Brightest Blessings.

There's really nothing to be scared of, my friend. If the right time ever comes for you to consider having children, then you'll sail through it without a thought.
Thank you for the best response, and relax and have a happy life, with or without children, whichever you choose.
Brightest Blessings to you. :-)

It is Hard but enjoyable I had my first child at 22 and was scared and excited and didn't know what to expect now I have two who are very demanding but I love them both so much and wouldn't want it any other way....
It can be stressfull at times and very rewarding aswell. Can be very mixed...

I think the hardest job in the world is to be a parent, but it is also the most rewarding. It's scary to think you are responsible for someone else's life, responsible for teaching them the things they need to know to get through life hopefully as well rounded individuals. But there's nothing more warming to the heart than hearing your children tell you they love you :)

of course you will feel nervous...it's a huge responsibility, but it's the BEST job ever! Being a parent is everything to me! I have always wanted kids and was told I wouldn't have any. I guess God had other plans for me since he gave me my two wonderful babies. I can't even remember what it was like before having my children. When you start seeing your tummy grow and feel them growing inside you, you are just totally in love!
Being a mom is scarey...you do have this little life to mold and what you do, good or bad, is etched in this child's mind. But, if you want kids like you say you do, you will be great. Just make sure you are ready. Your life does change so much. You can't just get up and run to the store real quick when you have kids...you have to get them ready and pack diaper bag when they are little and all that. YOU are no longer number 1...that child is.
Good luck to you!
