Now that I am actually a mom, its a different story but a few years back, i was so scared to be a mother.Scared of taking the responsibility and also of the sacrifices that i would have to or be expected to make. The fears were not all baseless and today i think motherhood is a hard journey if you like want to be the best for your child but along the way you find so much of happiness and adoration that in the end it seems worthwhile.

When I got pregnant with my first I can remember being nervous and scared that I wouldn't know what to do for my child but was also very excited but the moment she was born I just knew that no matter what I would always be there for her and that I would be able to do this as I would work on this harder then anything I had ever worked on in my life . I now have five children and wouldn't give it up for the world as I love being a mom more then anything else .

Thats great. As much as i love my daughter, the thought of having another child is still a far away, the first few years are so difficult.

actually the thought of being a mom in the future frightens me. like you about the more responsibility thing and how to raise your child in a good way and you would wan to give him/her a good future too. and that frigtens me a lot and also the process of being pregnant... but also sometime ago i made me think that if i was with a person whom i really love i wouldn't mind being a mother to our children and i would know that he would also be there always for us... and i wouldn't be alone raising our child to be a good person in the future... and that actually relieves me.. but i don't know... eventually i'll be a mother and i hope i can find a good husband... LOL

I want to be a mom so bad, but I am kind of afraid of screwing up or something.
