Mum to be freaking out!

[mumma100]

Hi there! im 32 weeks pregnant and completely freaking out about becoming a mum for the first time - it sounds so stupid and selfish but i keep focusing on all the negatives a baby will bring to me and my partners lives, like the lack of sleep, how it will affect our relationship, how will i/we cope, are we ready, how it will change our lives etc- i get a sense of real panic everytime i walk past the nursery, see my growing bump or babies. Im from the uk and also very worried about coping with my family being so far away. I feel so guilty for feeling this way as i know i should be feeling so excited at this time but i really dont. Has anyone been/or is going through the same kinda thing as me? i would greatly appreciate ANY advice.

I know exactly how you feel. When I was pg with our son (now almost 3), people would say to me "you must be so excited" and I'd feel really bad because I wasn't! I spent most of my pregnancy stressing about whether I'd be a good mother, how I'd deal with the lack of sleep etc. and I also have no family close by (though not as far away as yours are!)
It was hard at first, but now I can't imagine life without our son. I find it gets more enjoyable and easier the older they get. For now, all I can say is try not to stress too much (easier said than done!) but to be honest, I wish I'd enjoyed my pregnancy and the first months of my son's life more because they do grow up very quickly! Congrats on your pregnancy
