Fears of new baby

I am due to have my first baby Jan 04 - I am not worried about the pain of labour, but of being handed my baby which has a strawberry birthmark on it's face.

the feeling will be unbelievable - your child will be perfect to u no matter what (even if it had green hair two noses etc) you will love it

  • i had a really bad pregnancey and was ready for committing sucide then they passes me this bundle and all the worries i'd had vanished - no my child didn't have a birth mark so i can't comment on that - just be happy if the baby is healthy after all that's what counts -

(do u know what your having?

Sincy, what do you think this is about? I do suspect that it is normal to worry about all sorts of things at this stage...you are so close, have come so far, and yet everything you have dreamed about is still a dream and unknown, so it is bound to be scary. I remember people in my ante-natal classes voicing all sorts of 'nightmares', fear of holding their baby in case they somehow catapulted it out of a window was one that I remember coming up!
When your baby is born, not only will it be wonderful and lovable WHATEVER, but in a funny kind of way, it will seem 'ordinary', in the sense that it will finally be real life, not a dream or longed for fantasy, but along with the fantasy element will disappear the fears, too. (don't worry, loads more will erupt...sleep, health, 'that' cry, what does it mean?...).

Do you have a specific real fear of any kind of birthmark? Of course, there are Mums who meet their new baby and discover that there IS some difference - I am one of those - and, although statistically it is unlikely, if you did happen to find yourself in that position, you would STILL find that you love your baby fiercely and with pride and pleasure.

Blu, can i just say how fantastic your post was. I completely understand your concerns sincy1 but this i think is quite normal- i always had a real fear of cleft palate/hair lip. but you will love that baby more than you can ever imagine. that love is truly amazing. and try not to let this spoil your last few weeks of calm!
