Is anyone else like genuinely scared about like life with baby? Like how much everything's gonna change? I'm down with the whole labour part but everything after that genuinely terrifies me, like I just want to lock myself away and pretend like it's not gonna happen? I'm so content in my little house of just me and him and me doing as I please when he's at work and whatever but soon I'm gonna have full responsibility of a baby and I really should be ready and prepared for it all but I'm anything but like I just want her to stay in there for a few more years and just give me my life back, I'm genuinely not even excited to meet her, like I couldn't be any less enthused and I feel like I'm living a lie because everyone else is so excited so I pretend to be too but in reality I just want to pretend like it's never going to happen

it is scary and it really does change everything but if you have support you should be ok xx
I think it's natural to feel this way especially at the end questioning the unknown because we have no idea what it going to be out in front of us or what we are facing, I was told it's truly something you can't really imagine because it's so overwhelming so please try not to figure it out, take each day as it comes x . Buying clothes and things for something you haven't met yet and feeling this way isn't odd Hun, unless it's hindering your life with stress and anxiety. Hormones are playing at what they do best. One woman I know had a baby girl and I asked her He same questions you had. Life changes, responsibilities, the constant care and I have chronic fatigue. But I always say if I am constantly tired then why not put the energy I do have or the fatigue into something that will (at it will) bring you a meaning to life. We can only go on with life thinking we can have a great time, my social and career life was so good, so why spoil it? Because you realise Hun that deep down there is an emptiness. When I hit 35 I felt that, I'm now 39. Think of your achievement of producing your baby, this growing bump that will become your extension. Allow it not to be a burden but as an extension of you. It is terrifying I am, but your maternal instinct will hit you. Anyway this friend said she never changed a thing, she just made the baby fit into her life. As long as baby is loved cared for and fed, you can have your life. You never know it may surprise you that you don't want the life you had before. Keep strong Hun. Speak with your health advisor. They'll be supportive. Xx
I've felt like this.... Although I'm excited for baby I'm also terrified of how much everything is going to change, some days I can't even manage to take care of myself (I have severe depression) so I wonder how I'm going to manage taking care of my own child x
I've felt like this, send me a message if you wanna talk. Hope your ok x
No matter what anyone says, you can read all the books and go to a bunch of classes but nothing can prepare you for parenthood. It's bloody scary. But it's also bloody amazing! I wasn't nervous with my first I was excited. Our second was planned but I was so nervous throughout about having 2 children. The pregnancy went so quick I wanted it to slow down so I could have more time to get my head around it! lol But once you hold them in your arms & you watch them grow the bond you have with them is truly something I can't explain. All the rest comes with time & experience. We all just do the best we can!
