Lil mamma,

dont worry I dont have any children yet and I am only just starting to try but im sure these feelings of anxiety are just normal and every expectant mum feels them it is a big responsibility to have a baby, but im sure once ur little miracle is born all those feelings will be swept away and u will delight at being the best mum in the world.

Good luck with everything do u know wot ur having or is it going to be a surprise

Don't worry sweetie, every expecting mom is worried about those types of things, I know I was. I'm due in april with my second child and am experiencing those symptoms again. Just wait when your in that hospital bed and they hand you that baby for the first time, what a feeling. It's the best feeling I have ever felt. I never thought I could love something so much. Don't worry, your motherly instincts will kick in and you will be a wonderful mother. Good luck to you!!

Lilmamma,

i know how you are feeling, I was the exact same way. I was 17 when my son was due and I kept thinking...I haven;t grown up myself...How am I going to raise a child? But it worked out...Motherly instincts kick in. You will be fine, please don't worry yourself.
