Is it normal to feel like this?

Question

I’m 31 weeks today and I’m starting to think being a mom isn’t for me. I’m terrified about having the baby. I’m scared I’ll hurt her or be a bad mom or not love her. I think the prospect of staying at home alone with her sounds daunting. I feel like shit for feeling like this.

Answer

It’s normal. Have you got any female family members who have had kids themselves to maybe come help out in the early days? They can help if baby is unsettled and also be a listening ear if you need to talk x

Answer

Girl I felt like this with BOTH of my kids. It is completely normal... 
But.
It can also be a sign of early postpartum anxiety.
With my first it went away right when baby was born. With my second it got a lot worse and I ended up seeing someone for a couple weeks. No meds just talk therapy and a really. Good support system from my SO and mom and MIL.
If it doesn’t seem to be getting worse your fine. If you notice it seems to be becoming irrational talk to your on about it. 
A lot of woman suffer from postpartum anxiety in silence because they feel it’s ‘normal’ don’t do that.
