Just a worrisome thought

I feel like I just need to put this out there and see how others feel. I have absolutely NO EXPERIENCE with newborns. I keep wondering how I am going to feel when I am alone with her. I keep thinking that I'm going to be so nervous of doing something wrong or just feeling uncomfortable. I've been reading some baby books and that has helped me a little bit.

I try to tell myself that I will get over it quickly and that I'm not going to accidentally hurt my baby! Am I the only one that feels this way?

Re: Just a worrisome thought

I think that's totally normal <3 I think I would feel the same way but in college I had to take an internship that was working with infants and I was so nervous but eventually you just do what you got to do to care for them and you forget your fears. I still feel unsure about my future babies because its been so long since I've held a newborn. the days will go quick (probably unfortunately) and before you know it by the time you remember your fears this baby will be almost 1 (and then there will be a whole bunch more worries) but its all normal. you are doing the right thing by reading books and I think this site is very helpful.

Re: Just a worrisome thought

I also think about what you said...the days going quickly. It's not like she's going to be a newborn forever. I definitely want to make sure that I allow myself to enjoy it while it lasts!
