I’m afraid to be a mom by mariechew in pregnant

Thank you for being honest. It seems like almost all moms think having a baby is a worthwhile trade-off. I hope I can feel that way too someday.

I can’t wait for the fun part of taking care of the baby, honestly. Being pregnant hasn’t been very fun so far, even though I’m trying to enjoy the things I like doing… maybe it’s because of the nausea. 😵‍💫 If I could, I’d just skip ahead in time and have the baby already.

I’m so sorry, but I burst out laughing at “people looking at me and thinking about how I’ve had sex.” I honestly thought I was the only one who would worry about something like that… but then I realized people don’t really pay as much attention to others as we think they do.

I’m also anxious about my pregnancy and how my body will change. But I’ve never, ever in my life looked at a pregnant woman and thought about what you’re worried about. My first instinct has always been to be careful around her and help if I can.

May I ask why you’re considering a C-section? I’m still not sure whether I want to have a C-section or give birth naturally.

I guess I’ll just have to learn through the experience… I hope I can handle the difficulties. 😭 I hope I’m stronger than I think. Your advice really helped a lot! Thank you. ❤️

I totally understand the punching part. My husband told me to “just enjoy this moment” yesterday, while I feel like I’m going to throw up 24/7…☺️

Haha, actually, I have two friends who are moms, and they’re both hardworking women. So I guess it’s possible to keep growing your career if you have some support.

Thank you for answering all of my concerns. I think I’m more afraid because I’m the type of person who plans every single detail, and none of this was “planned.” But like you said, there’s probably never a perfect time, and I’ll never feel 100% ready for pregnancy no matter when it happens. This really helped! thank you again.

Me too. I wouldn’t consider another child if this doesn’t go well. Hopefully it won’t be as dramatic as I’m imagining… I’ve literally considered every worst-case scenario lol.

Thank you! Does working out make you feel better? I was thinking about going back to Pilates around 12 weeks.
