Fears of motherhood

There is nothing scarier than the thought of becoming a mother. You are going to be solely responsible for another human being – their life, their actions, their growth & development. It’s scary, but remember before you became pregnant you knew what you were getting yourself into. But once your pregnant all sense seems to drain out of your body. The closer you get towards your due date the scarier it seems to become.

Relax! It’s natural to feel afraid.

As a mother of 3 beautiful children I can assure you that I have been there. I know the fear, and I also know that no matter what you know in your head and heart the fear can overwhelm you. This fear goes away, and is often replaced with a whole set of new ones once your baby is born, and then again when your infant becomes a toddler and then again once they become a teenager. It’s a never ending process that I am certain from what my mother tells me doesn’t go away ever.

Listen the simple fact is with all of those hormones running through your body while your pregnant, it’s hard to control any emotions. Even the one’s that you know are silly…. You begin wondering if you’re going to be a good mother, if you be everything that you want to be for your new bundle of joy, if your financially ready, and so on and so forth.

These are all normal thoughts. After all, you are responsible for a person. They will depend on you for everything, and it will be the most amazing feeling in the world. The love you will have for that baby is something that you never experienced in your life. It’s a love that takes over every inch of your head and heart. It gives you the ability to overcome any obstacle in your life because you have the strength to do so.

There is a book for every stage of being a parent – from infancy to teenage years. Reading these books doesn’t mean that you need to do exactly what they say, just as listening to advice from other mother’s doesn’t mean you need to do what they say. It’s important that you come up with your own thoughts based on you and your child. You will quickly become insane wracking your brain trying to do what everyone tells you to.

It's important that you understand your not alone with your fears. You should talk to other parents and what you'll uncover is that at some point they had the same fears that you have. This is comforting to know. If you are fearful of your finances try saving a little bit of money with coupons, if you are afraid of disciplining your children read a book written by parents and doctors, and if you are just plain afraid talk to your husband and friends.
