My baby is due on Wednesday this coming week and I've spent the past hour or so on MN reading up/revising new baby stuff such as sleep and feeding. I'm now all of a panic about what could go wrong and reading about all the problems and difficulties other mothers are having.
DD1 is 22 months and was a dream baby and still is very good. She has always been a good sleeper, very good natured and very easy to care for.
I'm now having a panic about feeding the new one, how I will cope; not to mention all kinds of sleep problems I could encounter now and in the future. I know all babies are different etc, but I really cannot function very well at all on very little sleep and am not sure how I am going to cope if this one is trickier than my first.
I'd like some reassurance, but at the same time I just need to get this off my chest, even though objectively I'm probably overreacting and this is what having a baby is all about. I'm starting to wonder what I've let myself in for.
