Nervous about being a new mother!
posted 29th Oct
Kay,So I'm 31 weeks pregnant with the best little guy ever! I'm so so excited but nervous all at the same time. My due date is January 1st
Anyways, Please tell me this isn't just me I worry all the time about not knowing if I'm actually in labor and about being a good mom.
I need to kind of know what to expect when really in labor, I've talked to my dr. about it but still he's not a woman that's been through it first hand and can give details.

Everyone's labor is different. Everyone's. Even subsequent pregnancies. All different.
You're just worrying. You'll be fine.

I am going to be a FTM too and I am a bit nervous about the actual birth and what it will be like afterwards, but I am excited too. Most people just slip right into it like it was just meant to be part of their life (from what I have heard) and your instincts will kick in for baby's necessities. I'm not sure what to expect obviously, but I have been told you will for certain know.

I'm due the day before you and I worry sometimes about the being a good mom part. Especially because I didn't have the best example of parenting from either of my parents. I think it's the worrying about doing a good job that means that you will be a great parent. I haven't worried as much about labour. I think maybe it's because I have no idea what it will be like that is keeping me calm lol
