insecurities about motherhood
So only having 6 more weeks left (roughly) of pregnancy has got me thinking a lot more about actually being a mom. I guess it's getting super real for me now. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about finally getting to meet my little guy ☺. But at the same time, I'm terrified. And I know a lot of it is irrational. Like, what if I get up to feed him and I smoother him with my breast because I fall asleep? What if I don't do enough to stimulate his mind and he doesn't learn how to read? What if I don't exercise with him and he becomes obese? What if I forget to pump and he has no food when I go back to work?! Like I said, irrational and I'd add kinda stupid fears. But parenting is something I take seriously. It's the most important job I'll ever have. I have a completely blank slate of a human being and everything I do has an impact. I don't wanna mess him up. Does anyone else feel like this? Does it go away after pregnancy?
