To be a mother is indeed a wonderful experience and I want you to live each moment as it comes because I know the feelings you get is just wonderful especially when your baby starts kicking you or miving or scratching inside, the experiences are unique and just fabulous. Everything will be okay, you just have to be active and walk a lot even slowly and do not bend too much, know what you are eating and then starts preparing the room of the baby. Wish you a marvellous moment with your baby.

I've had 4 children and I was scared out of my mind at my first one. My doctor assured me that everything will be fine. I'll learn what one cry means over the other. He just told me that getting to know your baby was just like getting to know another person who does't speack. All you have to do is watch and look at their expressions. To be honest, you'll be a wonderful mother becuase you're afraid you're not going to add up. This means you'll try even harder to be the parent a child can be proud off. No worries, you'll be fine.

First rule, you're generally better off not asking for parenting advice. No one ever agrees and people feel very strongly about how they parent. Second don't stress it, it comes with time, you will figure it all out, you don't need to have all the gadgets, you don't need the latest books. Love your child, hold your child, feed, bathe, change your child, expect nothing and enjoy everything. Savor every midnight feeding and coo because all to soon you are sitting awake at night wondering when they will come home rather than giving them a bottle. As for me I'm a co-sleeping, cloth diapering, homeschooling, baby wearing kinda mommy and it works for us, you gotta do what works for you.
