any other ftm's randomly just sit there and realize that they are actually going to be having a baby…

Happens to me pretty often. And she is planned. We tried for over a year...but the realization is nerve racking. He isn't a first timer, but I am....and sometimes I wonder if I can do it. If I'm strong enough for delivery, and if will make a good mom...you are definitely not alone.

@kristian545, yeah I think the fact that it's real and actually happening is just freaking me out with all of the "what ifs"...hes also already had a kid with someone else so it's only new for me. I just feel like a bad person for thinking that way but I was assuming it's probably common

Mine just started pretty bad this last week. It's like an overwhelming feeling of dread and there's no reason for it. I can't explain why I feel like this. We tried to get pregnant for 18 months.. We have EVERYTHING for our baby girl.. I think it's my body telling me to get ready. 38 weeks 1 day......

@peaceofheaven121, I completely understand! It's like I'm afraid I'm not ready for some reason even though no one's ever really ready. I think it's very normal for ftm's though. I just don't want to feel that way!

Just keep your head up. My pregnancy went by in the blink of an eye. We will get through this! It's only a feeling, right?!!! 😉

@jderr220, I feel bad sometimes too, and even worse when I feel jealous of my step kids for my daughter. I hate feeling that way too. I believe it's just the intense hormones, and the what ifs of a new situation. hang in there, the end result is going to be worth it (my mantra lately)

@peaceofheaven121, yes! just need to keep reminding myself! I'm almost half way there
