30 weeks pregnant scared !!

[chelseaannejolley]

i have got to a stage now were i have started to worrie if i have got everything and am i going to be able to cope and am i going to be a good mum anyone else feel the same ??

I feel this way at least once a day! Perfectly normal. I'm now 40+1!!!

Am now just feeling fine about having a child, finances etc....but petrified about the prospect of labour!!!!!

Oh God yes I went a couple of weeks thinking all of that probs at about the same stage youre at now actually. Im assuming this is your first then? Mine too!

I would advise reading some Ina May Gaskin and some wonderfully positive threads here on MN about lovely births and which baby items are really necessary. Ive got almost 2 weeks til due date and feel more than ready now :) x

Ps I think babies are a lot like when u cater for a party....u prepare for your guests then panic you don't have everything/enough....buy more in a panic then find out you have too much stuff! Don't under estimate how many items u will be given/bought especially if first baby but they need so very little.

32 weeks. Watched an extremely depressing NCT video about how it's all going to be a nightmare! Now we are BOTH panicked.
