I feel I don't know enough about being a mother & caring for a newborn. Tho I've read tons of articles online & pamphlets from the doctors, & watched videos. &after 7 total nieces & nephews i have been around sin e birth. But I don't feel prepared & I know they say your never really prepared, or that your instincts kick in when your baby is born.
Any tips or advice on anything from experienced mommy's? Wheather it's words of advice, books or things you did too prepare yourself?! Last few days starting to get really scared & overthinking.

Just take it one day at a time. You won't know until the baby is here how to care for them. It's hard to say word for word what you need to do. I didn't want to be alone with my first son either. I was scared of everything

@beebaby thanks mama! & yes I feel that's how I'm gunna be!! My fiance keeps saying i have my sister's but my response already is they won't be here every minute of everyday/night. Lol && when my nieces & nephews were little I was petrified to feed them bc their so tiny & suck down that bottle so quickly!!
Thank you again for responding I just got to keep reminding myself that it's not something to be taught but to learn as your living it : /

It is. I had a different experience with both children. My first was good until he had an asthma attack at 4 months and we found out he was allergic to everything. I have never spent 4 hours in the grocery store before trying to eliminate a bunch of stuff from my dirt before I had to give him special milk from the pharmacy. Nobody in my family has dealt with this before. My second son was born jaundice so that was new. I had to take him everyday for the first week of his life to the lab to be tested and did his bili blanket treatment from home. Never done that before but I learned that and then later found out he was allergic to stuff too so that was something I was able to deal with easier because I already had done it. I don't know how this baby will go but I plan to maintain my diet because it is possible she will have asthma and allergies too. But before having my kids I had 10 nieces and nephews and nothing could have prepared me for what I am dealing with now because none of them have the same issues.

@beebaby thank you. That really put things into perspective. I could only how scary that was with your first son!! I really appreciate the feedback. & The piece of mind, to realize I can do all the reading i find & watch videos on classes etc. But something can always still happen that we don't prepare for.

Correct but you will do great. It's your baby, you will know what to do. Just enjoy it
