Anyone starting to freak out yet?

Question

FTM mom here and it's starting to get real that I have just over a month left before my life changes forever. We are so excited to be parents. This is what we have prayed for. However, it's still very overwhelming. How are yall dealing with the steer/excitement?

Answer

I'm nervous about having a toddler and a newborn. Mostly the lack of sleep part. My first born was a cluster feeder and woke up every hour to BF and I'm soo nervous this one will be the same and I'll never have any energy.

Answer

Hormones are difficult to handle sometimes while pregnant. I'm an RN and have worked in mother-baby. I'm having my 4th, and have had two normal pregnancies and one with moderate postpartum with similar mood swings like you mentioned. I'm recognizing the symptoms earlier this time, although it's difficult to admit to anyone. Talk to your doctor and tell her how you're feeling...at least it will feel good to get it off your chest to your provider. The least it can do is help your provider help you recognize any potential difficulties through the process of third trimester, delivery and recovery, and point you in the direction of any help you may need.  Your hormones are only going to get stronger. Btw...the last month is awful for everyone...every time! Good luck!

Answer

I have been getting moments to where I start over thinking things, but I start thinking about the positive out comes & I feel much better.

I'm just curious to see how things will change with my fiancé & I, how my dog is going to handle it, my family, & most of all I'm worried I won't know what I'm doing. I have NO expirence with newborns, toddlers, or children in general. My fiancé does because he has a niece & baby cousins. He told me he will support & help me threw it all, & that most of it will come naturally. It still just makes me so nervous yet excited to be a mom.

Answer

I've got 5 weeks to go and I've had moments of panic, but have been good for the most part. Just waiting for my shower this weekend so I can finish decorating and organizing. I'm sure I'll start freaking out more as we get closer.
