Is everyone ready? 😬🤗😓

Question

I'm a FTM, officially due in 10 days and am overcome with so many emotions. One moment I'm excited to meet my little one and CANT WAIT to go into labor. The next I am drowning in anxiety and worry of "will I be able to handle labor without having a fricken panic attack....will I know how to take care of a newborn...will I be a good mom...am I really ready for life to change in such a huge way..."

I hope this is normal, but it is such a rollercoaster of emotions! I see moms posting with such excitement and confidence about giving birth and being a mom. I wish I was there, but I'm all over the place 😓

Answer

Omg, I'm so glad that I'm not alone!!! I was starting to feel guilty for not experiencing emotions of pure joy 24/7!! Thank you all for your responses, super comforting! We can do this! 😊😊😊😊

😀😁😊🤔😮😓😦😨
^ literally my emotions, on repeat, every time I think about her being here. I'm excited to have my body back and meet my baby and yay! I'm gonna be a mommy! But omg. Is labor going to be as much hell as I keep hearing? Am I gonna be a good mom? Holy crap, I should not be responsible for a tiny human. I am not qualified for this. Shouldn't there have been like, an interview process? Possibly some sort of certification or something? Surely they aren't just gonna let me walk out of the hospital with a tiny human...
It's so weird thinking this little person is actually gonna be here before the week is over...

Answer

I'm glad I'm not the only one! One day I'm excited and ready to go and then the next I'm so scared. I'm a ftm too and everything is a learning experience for me. Scared but excited! I keep telling myself that the first 2-3 months will be the hardest😣

Answer

What you are feeling is completely normal!  I promise you, you are going to rock labor and take really good care of your child!  I say this because your concern already demonstrates what a wonderfully mother you are! I felt the same way when I was induced early last month.  I ended up with a c-section after 15 hours of complicated labor, and I didn't have a panic attack.  Don't get me wrong.  Labor is tough.  Taking care of a newborn is the most difficult exhausting emotional experience ever!  However, it is doable.  Wishing you lots of luck! You can do this!

Answer

I almost just made this exact post! FTM- I have 20 days left and I'm absolutely panicking! I'm so nervous about labor and bringing home a newborn! I feel like I know nothing about taking care of a baby. 😳

Answer

I just had this conversation with my husband. You're not alone!! We can do this!

Answer

First let me say..I pray that I have my baby around the same time as you lol I'm due at the end of the month and I need my son to May his way out😂😂😂 
And yep...I'm terrified about being a mother , excited yes. But I'm really nervous and I don't know why.

Answer

I'm ready, but cautiously so. I'm definitely scared taking care of a newborn will be too much for me. I'm nervous about having people around while I'm trying to recover from Childbirth. I'm driving myself crazy about when I might go into labor. I'm nervous for my life and relationship to change. I definitely hear you. Sometimes I feel confident and sometimes I feel like I'm falling apart.

Answer

I'm as ready as I'll ever be.

Answer

I feel exactly the same! FTM due in 13 days and my emotions go back and forth constantly. I completely understand and know how you're feeling! I'm sure we will get the hang of this mom thing and be so in love with our babes!
