Does it ever go away?

Question

The feeling that you still don't know what you're doing? During my first pregnancy I literally googled everything 100 x per day and read so many baby books just trying to prepare for the baby. And now that I'm having another one I still don't really know if I'm doing everything right with my first. I am more confident than before but I always feel like other moms seem to be more "natural" at certain things. Am I the only one who feels a bit lost still or is it totally normal? Friends tells me my child is so well behaved and that I seem to have it all together but in my head it's not really like that.

Answer

I google stuff all the time with my second. lol I mean we fall into a routine eventually, but I don't feel like an expert. When you see other moms who seem to have it all together, you never know how their life at home is really like. We're all just kind of figuring it out and going along.

Answer

None of us moms ACTUALLY have it all figured out. Ever. Parenting is learning, things change all the time as the kids get older and more independent. If you see someone who seems to have it all together, chances are they're freaking out inside wondering if theyre doing things right too

Answer

I'm the exact way! With my first I was 21 and things didn't bother me as much. Now I'm 27 and this baby stresses me out! I worry about everything! Is she eating enough, is she sleeping enough, is she peeing and pooping enough, the list goes on. My baby is a very good baby! But she's a lot more needy than my first who barely ever cried. I think it just takes time and to get into a routine.

Answer

I second guess everything. But, at the end of the day my kids are happy, healthy, and taken care of so I got to be doing something right.
