worried feelings

Aug 8th 2008

I've always been the type to love kids and have atleast 3 of my own when i was ready. Well, in April i was shocked to find out i was pregnant, i am only 19 and still goin through college. i have no intention on quitting at all but i know it will be a challenge. my whole pregnancy i have been constantly worried about not only my money situation since i do not have a job but also what am i goin to do about school. My main concern is will i love this baby enough? i know i always wanted to have one but since it was unexpected im kind of worried that i wont care about this baby as much as i should. has anyone else felt like this? i want to love my baby and be around and teach him as much as possible but im just gettin this feelin that i wont be good enough and i will just be annoyed and not be able to care for him like i should.

you are right in thinking it will be hard,but you can do it as long as you keep your mind on your goal! its sooo easy just to quit when you have a litle one,but you need to fast forward ten years in your life and imagine how it will turn out with and without college,,that was my motivation! as for loving your little one,,,any doubts you will have through your whole pregnancy will completely disappear when you meet,,and even if you dont feel the "connection" you imagine,that is normal too,,many women go through that,it can be a sign of postpartum depression,,but all in all just know you will be fine! gl!

hunny you will be just fine. the moment that baby is born you will go through a flood of feelings and be attached the moment you lay eyes on that baby, YOUR baby. i believe that once you give birth you create an unbreakable hold between the mother and the child. you will become a natural mother woh will put her baby first and know between right and wrong. you will be a wonderful mother.....im sure of it.
