NEW MOM!!! SO SCARED I CAN'T THINK STR8

Hi,
My name is Daria. I'm new to this club. I just found out that I'm pregnant w/ my first child and I'm sooo scared I've had butterflies in my stomach since yesterday (when I found out). I'm panicking!!! I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm not ready. Does anyone have any advise? Thanks!

Congrat's on your pregnancy and welcome to the board!
Nydia,
Welcome to our club. Of course you are scared being a mom is a big deal! I would be concerned if you weren't at least a little scared :) Don't worry, you have plenty of time to get adjusted to the idea. Try not to think of it as a huge change, just take it one day at a time. Even moms like me who planned their babies wonder if they are really ready. Your body is starting to release hormones (prolactin) that are preparing you mentally and emotionally for being a mother. Your body will make sure you are ready!
Happy and healthy pregnancy to you,
Your Community Leader Aimee, Mom to Marah-Jade 09/17/03

You will eventually start feeling all the emotions (besides fear) and hopefully you have a great support group.
Keep us updated and don't hesitate to ask questions, no matter how silly or dumb you think they are..
