Expecting my first baby!

[Abby234]

Hi all!
I need some advice! I’m 20 weeks pregnant I’m expecting my first baby at 19 years old and I’m having a baby girl. I’m really scared because I keep thinking I’m not strong enough for the birth. I’m really scared and don’t know what to expect. What if I’m not prepared enough or what if I’m not a good enough mum. Please help me out and give me some advice!! Much appreciated 😊

I’m also pregnant with my first, 15 years older than you and feel exactly the same! It’s perfectly normal, I don’t think anyone really knows what to expect or what they’re getting themselves into.

Congratulations!

Honestly your body is made to do this, you'll be surprised at what it can do ! I have two babies (about to start trying for #3!) . Both my labours have been really good. I don't think it matters how old you are or how many babies you have had, everyone has the same worries ! Just remember your body is designed to do this so you CAN .

And you definitely will be a good mum ❤

@Abby234 my two are 8 and 6 now and I still worry I'm not good enough

If you head to the antenatal boards, there'll be a group for your due month with lots of other expectant mums at the same point in pregnancy as you - some first timers, others experienced

Hey!!

Congratulations!! I’m pregnant also but not so far along, I think it’s normal to feel that way I’m already thinking of these things as I am just a worry wart but honestly our bodies are structured to endure childbirth, the female body is an amazing thing, you will be fine, good luck x
