29 weeks pregnant and im getting nervous!!?

the way you are feeling is absolutely normal. this is a big change in your life and it is natural to feel nervous. once the baby comes and you get into a routine you will start to relax more. talk things through with your mum or other friends who have had babies they will all tell you that although they are excited they were anxious too. i'm sure you will be fine.

I think everyone goes through this first time & sometimes second & third time - it's quite normal. I had never held a baby until I held my first but when it's your own, it just feels really natural. Don't worry about not knowing how to do things as the midwives will show you how to bath, feed, change nappies etc and it'll be second nature in no time. Take each day as it comes & you will get support from health workers etc if you have questions once you get home.

Good luck.

hi hun and congrats. its perfectly normal to feel like this. Im currently 32 weeks with my 3rd baby and im at the point of crapping myself too! im having an elective section as my first 2 were emergency section so im obviously nervous about that but like you i also think a lot about when the baby arrives, how i will cope, how it will effect my 2 girls etc etc. Just remember that no woman has all the answers and a lot of it comes with time and practise but when it comes down to it, a lot of what you will do will be intuition, you will just know and you will be fine. good luck hun x

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and feeling the same.

You've got to think to yourself that every women goes through this....we're not on our own with an illness....its a little baby :)

Just think to yourself everything will be ok, calm down otherwise you'll stress the baby out.

All will go well, and they are always people to help you through things, not just your family and friends but doctors and nurses....

It's not abnormal. I had nightmares about it before my first was born. Relax, take a deep breath, it will be OK. If you are really feeling anxious, there are lots of books out there about raising babies. Go get one, you have plenty of time to read before the baby is born.

(and if you are anxious about the labor part...you forget most of the pain afterwards)

What to expect...at first a lot of sleepless nights and making bottles, baths and changing diapers, blessing the person that invented baby swings and cursing out the neighbors dog when it's barking wakes up the baby. Use commen sense and a bit of humor and you'll be just fine.

hi congratualtions, i am four months gone and also nervous!!! i think it is natural, sometimes i wake up in a panic, soon i will have a baby everything will change how will i cope, what if i am not good at being a mum? but i read somewhere that only good mothers worry about being a bad one and bad mothers don't care whether they are or not!

good luck i am sure you will be fine!

kids are a big thing n lots will change including urself, its all new it thought of it can scare the **** out of u now ur goin to be soley in charge of another human, but thats normal, it all comes naturally in the end. my only advice is to have fun n enjoy ur me time as much as u can, as soon as bub comes its all over red rover, you won't time to think about u anymore you will be far too busy with bub. Good luck with ur birth, hope its a safe n hassle free for you.

If you have had a healthy pregnancy then you should be fine. I never made an appointment to register. I just went in to pre-register and they took me right then. Good Luck and congratulations....it won't be long now!

I agree it is very normal... I was scared when I had my 1st child... always had bad dream like I left the car seat on top of the car.. or I forgot I had a child and left her home.... it is all normal... If you want to read a book there are several good ones out there.. what to expect from my newborn... Good luck and try to relax...

every mother feels like this, but when you give birth to your baby you will automatically go into mother mode and no one will be able to switch you off. the love you'll give is unconditional and no book or person can teach you this. dont worry hun, you're about to experience the most magical time ever, its certainly not something to be afraid of. good luck and congrats xxxxx
