Having second thoughts normal?!

Question

I’m 37+4 weeks and this baby was very much planned and wanted especially since I’ve suffered a few losses, but now that I’m approaching my due date I’m starting to doubt myself!
Please tell me it’s normal to wonder if I’m definitely sure that I want a baby?! I know as soon as she’s born that those feelings will pass but I just wonder if anyone feels the same.

Answer

My daughter was very planned but I straight up did not want her to come out lol I was terrified of being a parent. I was over being pregnant but wasn’t ready to be a mom 😂 it goes away once you get home from the hospital.

Answer

Oh yes! As you get closer the anxiety of 'what if I'm not a good enough mom, what if this wasn't meant for me?' kind of rears its ugly head. But soon it will pass, the birth of my son definitely cemented that this is okay, I can do this. I'm about to give birth to baby number 2 and again I'm having some worries. Can I handle 2 small children? And how the dynamic is going to work for me to get literally anything done ever. I know I got this, but as a good mom and for you soon to be mom, if we didn't worry, we wouldn't be doing things right. Right?

Answer

Those feelings might not pass even when you give birth tbh.

Answer

I did the same thing and I was so terrified I wasn’t going to fall in love with my son when I had him and I was going to be terrible. Thankfully that all ended the moment I got to hold him! Now I am soooo thankful and over the moon that we chose to have him and wouldn’t change it for anything!!
