my bby

I felt that way too, I was only 20 years old when I gave birth to my son and I could still remember the mixture of anxiety and excitement I felt. I was so worried because I'm still young but a lot of women on the internet said that motherly instincts will come natural after I give birth. My son is already 2 years old now and I do not regret having him.

It is normal to be worried, anxious, nervous, scared. At any age. I was 19 when I found out I was having my first, had her after I turned 20....Then a few months later, after being on birth control at the age of 20 I find out I'm pregnant again! I have had 4 beautiful children and of course I had the same mix of emotions with each one. That doesn't change by age either. My mom was in her 30's when she had my youngest brother and she still had all the same feelings. I think perhaps it's amplified when you are younger. Especially when it is your first because you don't know what it is going to be like, how you are going to handle the situation. Children are wonderful. Just keep thinking of those wonderful smiles and all the great times you and your little boy will have. Years to come of playing and laughing. Joy and happiness. Good luck to you.

I never thought 23 was young. I was 23 when my oldest was born. 24 for the next one and 25 for the third and I was 29 when I had my last one. I'm 30 now and have a 6 1/2, 5, 4 and 1 year old (she will be 1 next week). I don't think I was too young to start a family.

I know exactly what you mean! I was 22 when I found out I was pregnant, and my daughter was born 2 days after my 23rd birthday. It was the best moment of my life. It's so exciting watching her grow up, and change everyday. Her latest trick is to try and pull herself up, and trying to jump. It's so cute, I hold her hands and she bends her knees to move up and down and she thinks shes jumping! She gets the biggest smile on her face and starts laughing. You know it's funny, we all learn about where babies come from and everything like that. But I never really gave it much thought or anything. But the minute I held that tiny baby girl, I realised what a miracle it truely is.

Congrats! Being a mom was something I actually never thought I wanted, but when I found out I was pregnant and newly single last March, I was excited and scared. I still get scared and doubt that I am going to do a good job but when I look at my daughter I know we'll get through things just fine. Its amazing how we are able to watch a tiny little baby grow everyday and slowly turn into someone with a personality and know someday they will be able to thank us for all we've done. Good luck!
