Make it make sense

I was absolutely petrified before having my son despite him being a very wanted planned and prayed for baby. I had thoughts like ‘what if I hate being a mum’ what if I can’t cope what if I don’t like him And the reality couldn’t be farther from the truth! I am obsessed with him and being a mama. So much so il be having two under two! These thoughts are totally natural and just mean it MEANS SO MUCH! You are a great mama already worrying and wanting things to be the best xxx

I feel exactly the same - same thoughts, same anxieties, some days i’m chill but most days i think oh god what if … about something or other. I’m seeing a therapist through my midwife to try help - may be an option if you feel it’s taking over/stealing the joy away from your pregnancy like it is mine

I feel this so much, I was actively trying to get pregnant, I just wish I had sorted certain things out before getting pregnant but everything happens for a reason x

Thank you all 🥹❤️ I feel better hearing your thoughts on this. We’ve got this!

@Em Thank you Em, this really means a lot! I’m having a boy too and, even though I would have been happy no matter the gender, and I’m so elated for my husband to have a mini-me, it’s so hard to visualise myself with a son for some reason which might be playing into my anxieties a fair bit. But everyone I know who’s had a little boy says they end up being your little bestie anyway :) xxx
