Subject: Re: scared Author: Donna [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 08/30/06 6:09am In reply to: pixey 's message, "scared" on 08/30/06 12:48am Hi Pixey, I think that every woman even the most confident ones have had this question flash thru their minds with their first pregnancies. So you are not alone. I feel those thoughts must come from Motherly Love. You already have the desire to be the best mom you can be. From that desire alone you will do everything in your power to care for your baby. For now, that will include, eating good nutrition, getting adequate rest, staying sensitive to any changes you may see with your body, keeping your doctor appointments and following your doctors advice. After he or she is born, believe it or not, everything kicks in, the nature of mothering just seems to happen, even to those that have not been around children much in their lives. It's nature. With your desire and comittment I think you'll be just fine. It's all about the choices we make in life. It always helps to ask God for his guidance in our pathways in life. Write anytime. Blessings, Donna [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: scared Author: luka [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08/30/06 6:11am It's normal to be scared, women who plan their babies and are married ect are scared with their first baby. It is normal and actually more of a sign that you will be a good mother than anything. If you weren't scared i would be more concerned. It is a big deal bringing a child into this world definately. Nothing ever goes perfectly in life so there are allways ups and downs. You would be surprised at how well you will be as a mother though. Nothing prepares you for how much you will love this little person. Let yourself be worried AND excited and nervous and thrilled. It's a process. I have had children and i am still worried about how i will cope when my baby is born on some levels. But i also have the experience of being worried/scared during pregnancy before and i know that once i see my baby all of whatever i feared is dwarfed by the awe and rush of love and happiness of seeing and holding my baby for the first time. Your child is so indescribably precious and beautiful. You just naturally focus on that more than you do the things that worried about before you had your baby.
