Is it normal to feel this way?

Question

This is my first pregnancy and I’m 19.. I’m 23 weeks. I am excited, but it still feels fake to me.. no matter how many times I look at the ultrasound photos, I just can’t believe that there’s a baby in my belly & I’m going to be a mom.. I’m so scared. I read way too much into horror birth stories and chances of death while giving birth. Constantly thinking about how my body has never went through this before.. How will I know when I’m in labor? How will I know what it feels like? Will I be ok? I’m blessed and can’t wait, don’t get me wrong. But I’m also so so scared. 😢

Answer

I'm also 19 and 37 weeks everything is going to be fine you need to get those negative thoughts out of your head you just have to believe and have faith everything will turn out fine and you will definitely know whenever you are in labor and the chances of dying during labor are very low there are teen girls in their 14 manage to give birth and everything turns out fine.

Answer

I’m 27 and pregnant with my second and still feel this way 😂

Answer

You will be fine! 💪 it's normal to be nervous but trust that women do this every single day, if they can do it so can you. And stop reading stories of dying in childbirth. You can also die driving to the supermarket. If you really know most of these stories, most either had other significant health issues or didn't follow proper medical care.

Answer

Hell I'm 25 and this will be my first baby. I have those negative thoughts sometimes as well. I even told my doctor and I honestly felt embarrassed because knowing my emotions are all over the place, this just isn't me. But what helps me come to terms DAILY is that God didn't put us through this transition if he didn't think we could handle it. 🙏🏽 Try to pray even when you think he's not listening or simply have a talk with your baby. When he kicks me, I get some since of clarity like ok girl your child hears you cry before anyone else.. and then I dry my tears up. I also listen to music or do anything to lighten the mood. Even it's for a few hours or just a day. Remember to breathe and remain calm until the negative feeling goes away🧡 #Wegotthis💪🏽

Answer

Being nervous is normal especially the first time, with my first (@18) I looked at my mom and asked if it was too late to change my mind (I was in active labor at the hospital) she laughedand said a little. I just had #5 and was just as nervous
