Spooked

Just after I started feeling pretty good and confident about this whole birth/motherhood thing, my husband's best friends (another couple) chose to point out all the terrible things about birth and parenting a newborn. It was basically an hour of hearing about how wrecked my body and our lives are going to be. This friend had a horrible experience with delivery and I just wish that she had kept it to herself. Now I'm scared all over again, and so nervous about those first few weeks with a newborn. Also, I'm 38, which makes me nervous bc I'm older than a lot of first time moms. I'm healthy and not at risk for anything, but I'm still scared. Argh. People!
