Littlejojames wrote: I know that it might sound daft to some of you but it really hit home last night.

Was lay on the 3 seater sofa and wham i started crying, craig came over and asked what was wrong and all i could say for about 3 minutes was "were having a baby" just explained to him that im starting to get a little scared about life after having smudge and how things are going to change and i hope that me and craig dont start to neglect each other.

He said that he completely understands and that we will make sure that we spend time on each other afterwards and he loves me more than anything. xxxx

I really dont understand where its all come from, am i the only one who feels like this????

Kaitlin'smom replied: Oh ya I so remember breaking down in my last month, woring about EVERYTHING ans scared of EVERTHING, mostly being a good mom.

Dont worry its normal, and things do change, but once you get into a grove you wonder how you ever got along with out the little joy.

MomToMany replied: Yep, perfectly normal! Like Di said, once baby is here, you can't imagine life without him/her!

5littleladies replied: You are perfectly normal hun! For me it didn't hit until I was home from the hospital with dd#1 and I bawled for 2 days straight-Thinking that our lives were over, that we wouldn't ever have time for each other, and that we wouldn't be able to go anywhere because of our bundle of joy. Obviously I was wrong. Things do change, but you will change with them. In time you will wonder what life was like without your baby.

Shaykinmom replied: I think its totally normal .....I can remember when I was pregant I could be anywhere (work, in the car, at home or even shopping) and I would just start crying. My emotions when crazy.

Littlejojames replied: Thank god im not the only one!

I have never fealt anything like it before and it just hit me like a ton of bricks. People at work laughed at me when i told them (none of them have kids) and come out with comments like "its only just hit you, is the bump not a big enough hint?"

thank you all soo much

Kaitlin'smom replied:
thats just mean, and insensitive

guess you get that from people who dont have kids, they just cant understand that

A&A'smommy replied: awwww totally normal I freaked out too close to the end but when she got here and I held her for the first time I just stared in disbelief of how beautiful she is, but before that lol heres a little funny when I first saw her which was like a couples hours after she was born because I had to be put out for an emergency c/s well I just stared at her and then I asked if she was mine lol everyone got a kick out of it my mom was like "YES baby that is your baby" and then she started crying Its going to be wonderful hun and you will never be able to amagine anything more beautiful!! ((((HUGS)))) Btw I'm sorry your co-workers were mean to you I can't believe they said that

Kila replied: Don't worry! I used to NEVER cry. But when I was pg, I would cry at the frop of a hat...especially around the end b/c I was so fat and out of my element. I don't think I'll ever be quite the same. So, on the note, ,don't think twice about it! Compleely normal. The good thing is that you have someone who is supportive to tell you it's going to be okay and that he loves you. That makes all of the difference!

kimberley replied: i went through the exact same thing. i went through all the motions of doctor's appointments, decorating, cleaning... but it never really sunk in until one day it hit me like a ton of bricks too. i was in a panic about everything. i think it is only natural to feel that way considering what a life changing experience, having a child really is. just try not to fret too much. i am sure you will make a wonderful mom and the fact that you already know you need to make time for your relationship puts you miles ahead of where i was with my first kid. (((hugs)))

FroggyJK replied: I am doing the same thing now. I can't believe we are having another one. I can't believe I am going to be the mom of 3. I'm going to have a whole other person to take care of....... like I don't have enough people to take care of now! I'm scared too!!!

Josie83 replied: Okay first of all Jo can I just say that you scared the wits out of me, I thought you meant your baby was coming now! Phew. But seriously, I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. But I completely understand! It is so scary. For a long time when I was pregnant with Cassie I was just sort of thinking "I'm pregnant" but then like you say you suddenly realise "I'm not just pregnant, I'm having a baby!" And it is scary. Your life will change but believe me it is definitely for the better! Soon you won't be able to remember what life was like before baby. And you will be a GREAT mum! I know its easy for me to tell you not to worry, but seriously, you'll be fine! And we're all here for you any time you need us! xx

ediep replied: What you are feeling is totally normal.....but try not to worry you'll be fine! I was the same way, your hormones are surging too, so that doesn't help. Try to relax, you are going to be wonderful parents!

Littlejojames replied: Thank you all sooo much. and Josie sorry for the scare

Think my emotions are getting worse by the day. If anyone remembers the cartoon/film watership down??? well the song from it "bright eyes" was on tv the other night and i burst out into tears, craig looked at me and started laughing as all i could say was "this is the song where the rabbit dies" Blooming eck i havent even seen the film so god knows what happened there

Anyway thanks again for being so supportive

coasterqueen replied: Hmm, I remember feeling this way when I was pg with Kylie and I even felt this way early on with this little one. I'd probably be freaking out even more with this one if I wasn't so busy with work.

MommyToAshley replied:
I thought the same thing!


I have to agree with everyone else... I had a very similar experience. It hit me all of a sudden, and I was overwhelmed with emotion. Hang in there sweetie, you don't have much longer.... and then you will realize how things just seem to fall into place.
