Try not to worry too much, the wondering if you will be a good mom doesn’t ever go away. I’ve been a mom for almost 9 years and I still wonder if I’m doing a good enough job.

No one is perfect, but you’ll find your balance with baby and it will all work out. Just enjoy it as much as possible ☺️

You got this mama!

@jenny955, mothering does not come naturally to everyone. Sometimes baby is born and everything you thought you knew goes out the window and you feel like you are going to “break” baby or aren’t good enough. Others things that come “natural” are actually the wrong things and can be harmful to baby. For most the love and protection part come naturally, but that’s not even true for all and that alone doesn’t make one a good mother.

@amysbabies how is it not true??

@jenny955, I don’t think that’s true! But I like where you are going with this post. 😊@katiebug8399, you are doing everything right now, getting prenatal care— being worried about being a good mom is a big sign that you will actually be a great one! Know where to go for advice, if you need help- ask the nurses! If you need more help ask again! If you feel you need something more, ask for recommendations- there should be a clinic or other office that you can call to ask for advice if needed. Maybe even see if there’s a last minute newborn care class you can sign up for? Even if you don’t qualify for WIC you can go to the classes- my hospital has a clinic across the street where they have new parent classes, even CPR and breastfeeding. Congrats!! 💕👶🏻

It all comes natural to you once you see them and hold them for the first time you'll do great don't worry
