1st child and scared!

[Loujim2]

Is it normal to be absolutely petrified for having my first child? I'm 30wks at the minute and starting to get so nervous for my ds to arrive!

Yes! Normal. Except I was horrendously anxious all the way through my pregnancies, so you're doing OK :)

Good luck and as you are going to be a mum soon, enjoy sleeping when you feel like it, go the the cinema or for nights out (you probably won't want to for a while).

Yes very normal. I was scared about everything from giving birth to if I would actually be able to look after a baby.
However everything was fine and 6 years later everything is still fine. So try to relax and enjoy this time until your baby arrives

Yes totally normal I could go from excited to nervous to terrified in a nanosecond when expecting dd. I can honestly say the childbirth part (for me) was not as bad as I was expecting and the amazing feeling meeting your little one is unbelievable :) good luck OP

Aw thanks folks! I just feel so clueless at the minute and wonder how I'm going to look after a wee one! As you say I can be mega excited one minute and then think shiiiiit! I'm sure when he arrives I'll be fine!
