Some might say there's loads of time left but tomorrow I am 30 weeks pregnant with my first child.. I am a little terrified that there is only (five or take a few weeks I know) 10 weeks left of my pregnancy and that I'm going to be an actual mum! Like I knew that would be the ultimate goal but what the hell?? It seems to have gone so fast, I have 6 weeks left of work (if I manage past the new year that is) and I feel so unprepared. Due to a change of circumstances at home we will be moving home (with any luck) 2 weeks before my due date so we can get it and ready for baby to arrive but it will all depend on where my partner finds new work as our home comes with his job. And I think the unknown is making me more unsteady in my moods/emotions. I've not told my family we're moving yet because it won't go down very well although it is completely out of our hands they won't understand that.
I'm sure I'm not the first or certainly the last to be feeling so scared about the mumming part at the end of all of this (obviously providing all goes well and baby continues to be healthy outside my body anyway!)
I have no experience with babies at all so it's going to be a steep learning curve that's for sure!!
Don't even think I'm after any sort of response but just to unload what's going round my head I suppose x

It's normal! I'm panicking more about the mum part than the actual labour although that may be me burying my head in the sand. I'm currently 37+2 and I'm currently in denial that this baby will arrive any time soon.

My only advice is take each day as it comes. Im expecting no. 2 and I'm just as anxious as I was with my first, I think because my little boy is 3.5yrs I feel like the baby stuff had been forgotten! But at the time, I took each day as it came and survived! :) x
