I am now 12 weeks pregnant and the reality of my pregnancy is starting to dawn on me. I recently relocated to be with my soon to be husband and I'm away from my support system at home. I'm just feeling slightly overwhelmed with the responsibility that comes with motherhood. Until recently I haven't really been able to take very good care of myself and now I will be responsible for another human life. I'm just worried that I won't be cut out for it, and unlike most things in my life that I just walked away from, I won't be able to quit motherhood. *sighs a millions times
That's such a difficult place to be in. Your child will love you no matter what :) I have a daughter who is 3 months and felt the same when I found out I was pregnant. Hang in there. I found focusing on the next best thing for self-care really helped me, as simple as going to get a glass of water, buying that pregnancy info book, calling a friend. Hugs!
