Don't worry hun. This is very normal, every pregnant woman goes through this during their pregnancy. Just relax and think positive. Being stressed out isnt good for you nor the baby. In the end, all the painful and worries with be worth it, you'll see. Good luck!

Lol - you are just like every mother when they find out they're pregnant for the first time. Relax. Pregnancy is the most wonderful experience. It's normal to be scared and full of questions. The book "What to expect when you're expecting" helped me out a lot. As for the labor part, yes it hurts but it's not completely unbearable - believe me, I did it WITHOUT an epidural. AND I still want to have more kids. ;)
I'm sure you'll be a great mother - just try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. It's the most awesome thing to go through. Good luck and congrat's!!!

I am 10 week preggo too!! And this is my first...I am so scared too though!!! I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks...and I have another one at 12....but I have come to the conclusion that I am always going to worry in between ultrasounds. I want to be a mother so bad....and I want this baby...but at the same time I am scared sensless. I dont the first thing about babies....so its all new to me. But I think being scared is totally normal!! Dont worry...Im sure once you see your baby all worry will fly out the window and you have nothing left but love for your little one.

I think its normal to feel scared, I did, and still do, i worry about all those same things and more, but I just try and think about what it will be like to hold my little girl in my arms, seems to make those worries go away...at least for a while:) also-try not to worry too much about how people tell you it will be....some will tell you labor is the most horrible thing theyve ever been through and then ive got friends who are the biggest WIMPS in the world who said it was a breeze...just ignore people when they say stuff that will freak you out...most likely NOT true.

a lot of women go through things like that. i know i am scared for labor. i don't think about it since i am only about 20 wks but i know when it gets closer i will be very scared. u should just try to look at it as yeah i am having a baby and not the bad stuff. u will be a good mother. u just have to try very hard not to stress bc the baby can feel that and it isn't good for it.

I'm pretty sure it was around 10 weeks that I had a pretty huge freak out. I'm pretty sure it's just reality setting in. You will probably freak out for a few weeks and then you will chill out. And then once you get to where I am in pregnancy (which is 33 weeks) you will probably start freaking out again because all of a sudden you remember you are pregnant lol. You will get through it jsut fine though. Don't stress yourself about things like labor just yet. You will just end up driving yourself and everyone around you crazy lol. Just try to relax and enjoy all the wonderful changes happening to you and your little one. Good luck with everything. =)

Being pregnant is the best time. I am due next week and it's been a great 9 months. It will go by quick and you don't want the time wasted. Enjoy every day of it, because you can't get it back. Wait till baby starts kicking and you feel him/her. Soon he/she will recognize your voice. Every week is different. Google pregnancy progress every week and focus on the development of the baby and how amazing it is that you are carrying a human life. Like i said, you don't want these months to fly by and all you remember is the worrying and panicking. Be happy, the baby will be happy.

It's normal.
The most thing I personally am worried about is being a good mom. I want to be the best mom ever, and I don't want to betray the gift God has given me.
I try not to think about labor and tell myself that no matter how long it lasted, it'll be over after some hours.
It's normal dear. But still, try to enjoy your pregnancy and take your mind off these stressful thoughts.
Congratulations.

its totally normal to be worried about something so intense as pregnancy and mother-hood. I guess for me, the way through it was knowing myself well enough and knowing that I could handle it. Everyone freaks about labour, I am 32 weeks with my first and it is definately on my mind, but hey, that pain doesn't last forever. And whats a few days discomfort when you end up with a beautiful baby that is all yours... Mother-hood will come to you. Nobody is the perfect mother!!

I have a new worry every two seconds. I think we drive ourselves nuts with it. I keep worrying about becoming a total "dork" parent. I see parents and they are great with their kids but they seem socially inept in other ways, they can only talk about their kids. I worry that I too will be that way. I also worry about time, money, career, throwup, poopy diapers. I know labor is going to hurt and I am concerned but I know it will suck. I worry because I really don't like other peoples kids and I worry how that will affect my parenting. It all has to work out some how right?
