Hellobee Boards

Oh yes. I have had a few. I already have 2 step sons and am now waiting to add a 3rd boy to the mix. I have had a few "omg omg omg what did we doooooo, another boy? can I handle it? Will I ever have a life again? What if he hates me? What if I'm a bad mom? What if we somehow end up not being able to afford everything?" moments.

I think it's totally normal. It's a HUGE life change. One that not only affects the present but also the rest of your future. I think it's normal and healthy to question yourself.

Absolutly! I had many a meltdown thinking if starting a family was right for us! Even now LO is due in a week and I am still silently freaking out!!

Nice to hear that this is normal! I'm 35 weeks and seriously freaking out, too!
@rahlyrah: it IS a lot of pressure!

Definitely normal, I was so nervous about it, but realized that there wasn't anything I could do about it, so I went with the flow.

I guarantee I'll feel that way again when we get to #2- maybe even worse than the first time!

Normal! I had many freak outs while pregnant. And I'm not gonna lie, I had some "what have we done moments" after the baby was born. The first couple weeks are rough. You will learn quick! DH and I didn't have a lot of experience with babies and we figured it out. And there is always HB for all your questions.

Yes, totally normal! I had a freak out the other day about Baby 2.

All the time! I'm glad to know I'm not alone.

In addition to the weeks before, I had it about 2 minutes after my water broke. And on the way to the hospital. Totally normal!!!
I still have no idea what the heck i'm doing...but your mommy instinct will kick in.

I'm glad to see this post and the outpouring of support from HB!

I'm 32 weeks and get this feeling occasionally. Especially when I don't get much sleep for whatever reason.
