I am constantly worrying. I just finished wiping away the tears of this because I am only 21. I'm scared. I've always wanted to be a mother but now that I gave it I'm terrified. I feel like I'm failing him

Thank God cause there are these days where I have this overwhelming confidence and some days Im scared.

Yes as soon as you have your baby all your mommy instincts will kick in and you'll feel much better. You'll be a badass mom 😘 I'm younger then you so if I can do it so can you girl

i did. I was always pegged by peers as being heartless by really I closed myself off to people. then I had my son was worried I wouldn't have that maternal instinct but it comes in while your in delivery and recovery. I remember the night after he was born he had ate all the night and next morning but never went to the bathroom at all for 24hrs and I called the nurse and she came and took him to the nursery for the pediatrician to check him. she said she would be back in 30 min to update me. I said OK, so 30 mins passed I was sitting there tapping my foot in my room pacing and freaking out 45 min no return. so I woke my husband who was exhausted from being up for the whole 49hrs of induction and told him i would be right back. I left my room, and was walking to the nursery. was almost to it when a nurse asked me what was wrong I explained. she said oh honey he's at the nurses station before we made it to the nursery he peed and pooped all over, we cleaned him up for you and he went to sleep he's up there with our head nurse. I said why did no one come tell us. I went to the nurses station took his little clear bassinett and went back to my room with him. the nurse told me not to cuz I shouldn't be by myself walking and pushing him it was like 50 ft from the desk. where our room was. I ignored them, I'm his mother I know what's best. from them on all care that could be done inn our room was he had to have a jaundice incubator and they brought it to us cuz I said I wasn't letting him out of our sight with how the nurses acted the night before

There are ppl who became mothers younger than 20 and are great moms if they can do it u can too! Your going to be a great mom

I think at any age it's a scary feeling. .u are not alone. .first time mom super excited but same worries run through my mind every day

those feelings will come and go , I'm turning 20 soon . I still feel like I'm not good enough but the smile on my daughters face tells me I'm doing something right

I was 20 when I had my daughter, got preggo at college( not a one night stand), everyone thought I'd drop out but nope here I am about to be going into my last year of nursing school, and have a little boy on the way. Your momma instincts will kick in:)

I'm 20 and a single mommy, you'll do just fine trust mother instincts😛

I was 17 when I gave birth to my first, and trust me you won't believe how fast you'll pick everything up. My baby is now almost 5 years old and I'm pregnant with my second. Just stay strong and hang tough for your baby. And remember that they will always love you. 😊

don't worry that's normal.I had my first at 18 and I just knew I was gonna jack her up but she turned out to be a perfect 15 year old and I'm so proud I was nervous with my third its ok I been a single mom with all 3 and I am doing great your mommy instinct's will kick in soon as they put the baby on your chest when its born

I became a mom at 15 and did it on my own. You will be just fine.

Me. I was 18 when I had my son in January. I turned 19 march & I know its a struggle but I manage.
