Wishy washy baby feelings? 🍼🚼?

Question

Lately I've been feeling very wishy washy about ttc. Sometimes I feel I'm ready to care for and raise a child and other times I'm scared of how big of a life change it really is... I've been married a year and I LOVE kids but I also know what a huge toll it can take on finances and sleep which scares me. It's my dream to be a mom but I guess I'm looking for some words of encouragement from those who are pregnant now or are moms who can tell me the best things about motherhood and what keeps you going?

Answer

I'm TTC currently and I have a lot of the same feelings. I bet it's normal to feel wishy washy about it, but maybe one of those things that people don't talk about too often. It's such a big life change. I think it's understandable to be nervous about. :)

Answer

My daughter is 5. I was pregnant at 19. Left her father and birthed at 20. Lived with my parents for 6 months before heading out on my own with her. I had severe morning sickness and then got pre eclampsia. My daughter is the best thing that ever happened to me. She's amazing. Made me realize how crap most my friends were. And gave me motivation to leave an abusive relationship. And to be better in life. All my choices revolve around her and it mean my choices are better thought out. The pride i get from being a mum is absolutely amazing. I actually cry at happy things now!!! I never felt emotions so strong before. Being a new mum or dad is scary for most. But the rewards out weigh the fear by a mile. Its ok to be scared. Just make sure you're ready. Its hard work yes. But totally worth it.
