Jenni, Good luck to you and your husband! I usually find that most of my nervousness and fear come in the middle of the night or when I'm super tired. Do you have family close that will help you?

HA HA, what a funny way to describe it! I am not a parent but I know how once you have a child you are on the search for a purse that can double as a diaper bag!



I have all the same feelings everyone describes here. The wondering....the doubt...wanting to have a baby but then not..... I have gone round and round with it but sort of feel at this time that the negatives in my mind outweigh the positives in my mind. Or maybe I am just so afraid. To be truthful, I still feel like a child. I don't feel like I am 30 and a grown up. I like my lifestyle but I do sometimes feel like something is missing. Maybe my self esteem is low but sometimes I think "If I can't even cook or decorate my house how will I ever be a Mom to a living being?" I know I sell my self short though because I am sure I would be OK. If how I treat my furry friends is any predictor of how I will be as a Mom, Lord knows everything will be OK!! The few pregnancy scares I have had though...I thought I would be excited but when I went to take the test I pretty much was just sick with the thought. Absolutely terrified. And mostly relieved when it was negative.

I think unless you are 100% sure you want a baby, and have always felt that way, you will never think you are ready until it just happens. Then you deal the best you can.

Good Luck to all you preggo mommies!;-)
