Questioning what's to come...

You are absolutely not alone in feeling this way. So many of us have those worries before our babies arrive — it’s a huge life transition, and it’s normal to question yourself. It actually shows how much you care and how committed you are to giving your baby the best. ❤️

Even with support around you, it can feel overwhelming, but please trust that your instincts will guide you. You will find your rhythm, one day at a time. Try to be gentle with yourself and remember that doubt doesn’t mean you won’t be a wonderful parent — it means you’re human. You’ve got this. 💪✨

Totally normal and you might still feel that way when baby comes. It took me a good 6 months after having my little one to realise and fully accept that my life was going to be dramatically different. Once you accept that and make peace with that (which I said, took me 6 months) things become a lot easier and enjoyable. Obvsiouly it doesn’t help when you’ve gone through a pregnancy and birth and are extremely exhausted and hormonal - makes your emotions heightened. Becoming a parent is amazing but also one of the hardest things you will ever do. My little girl is 18 months now and it’s wonderful. You will get there and feeling guilty is totally normal even though you shouldn’t feel guilty at all! xx

I should also add I’m now pregnant with twins so like I say, you will get there with embracing this crazy journey that is motherhood and maybe in another year you will be hoping for baby no.2 haha! X

You’re not alone!! I never wanted kids, not because I don’t like them but I just never had baby fever or saw them as a crucial thing in my future. I was in my second semester of college when I found out, I have kind of devastated, my family has rallied around me and we’ve got a bright future ahead! I know logically it will be hard but we will have support and help. But it’s just not what I had planned, not what I wanted for so long. I know I will be a great mom and this baby will be taken care of. Doesn’t make the fear go away. Being a mother changes everything basically forever. Try not to dwell on everything that could ever go wrong, it’ll only make it worse.

It’s ok to feel this way so don’t feel bad! Your first child is huge as you are becoming responsible for a whole human which does end your ‘normal’ and I found that super scary! But honestly the second the baby comes you’ll see that it’s ok and my best advice is to remember it won’t last forever ❤️❤️ a baby is a baby for a year and it just flies. Your life doesn’t end, you still get to make choices
