Answer

I'm afraid my relationship with my husband will change. Because it's stress free and damn near perfect. 😓

Answer

I was with my first. Best thing I can tell you is you will make mistakes, you won't be able to give her everything she wants, you will have doubts in yourself, but if you do everything you can then you WILL be a GREAT mom!! Good luck!

Answer

I'm not scared of being a mom at all surprisingly but I'm terrified of something going wrong with the delivery or something being wrong with the baby :(

Answer

Same thing. I'm absolutely terrified of being responsible for another person and my entire life changing. I keep having nightmares that I forget the baby at home and leave to run errands or I forget that I have a baby for months then someone gives me a baby that's mine but it's already six months old.

Answer

I'm afraid of something going wrong during birth and me not being able to go on for my newborn & already alive child. I already have PTSD/anxiety with an irrational fear of death, due to a cardiac episode two years ago. I have to keep reminding myself that my body is functioning just as good as it was with my first pregnancy, it's just my brain tricking me. It works most days..

Answer

I'm scared financially, I'm scared of leaving my baby while I work and that guilt , she'll be with grandma and Daddy so at least she's with family.  Her daddy meds back surgery and needs to recover after my csection it's going to be hard on us.  I'm scared of having the csection as to I hate anything surgery. 🙈.  I had two previous csections and have to get one now.  I'm scared to be a single parent and it working out.   Dad and I can't be together due to him being a flirt and cheater I can't trust him.  I'm scared of it all falling in to place. But I have faith!!!

Answer

Literally had these thoughts the other morning; "Am I sure I want to do this? Am I sure I'm ready??" Obviously I am not really questioning if I want to keep her but it's just that sense of panic of unpreparedness that I'm feeling. Hoping it will all go away once I'm holding our sweet girl in my arms.

Answer

Also that she won't be perfect 😔
