Im a first time mom too & I know exactly what you are feeling. Other than my breasts growing & hurting & peeing every 45 minutes I did & still dont have any of the 'average' symptoms. Ive been carrying very big from the start of my pregnancy.. but if u are worried about ur size check with your doctor It could be nothing, it could be water retention but it's always safe to check no matter what. Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different my best advice is to read WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING. Ive heard a lot of good things about it and its supposed to be very helpful. I have yet to read it myself because my bestfriend bought me the book but is being retarded and wont give it to me until my baby shower which i keep telling her will be pointless and too late since im already 27 weeks in & I'll be about 34 weeks when i have my shower but ya i did some research on the book & it is supposed to be one of the best out there. Congratulations on being pregnant and all the best wishes to u & ur family.

I was scared to death with my first pregnancy. I didn't know what to expect. Labor sucks but you get through it. By the time it's over and you see that baby, it seems like it was a piece of cake.

My husband and I were a little weird for a week or so after bringing Mikey home. I guess we weren't quite sure what our different rolls should be as parents. Every time I put the baby down, he would run over and pick him up. I think we were both worried about the baby liking one of us better then the other. You get over that too.

It's normal to be nervous. If you have any questions, please feel free to run them by me.

my hubby was the only one there with me when i had my first..she came quick and almost painless..i had her natural..this one seems like it will be more work though..It took me 4 years to concive with the first one and there is 5 years between the two..my hubby is now my ex been that way 4 yrs..I was more excited than nervous..and am more nervous this time around strange huh..Good luck don't stress too much ok it will happen how it is supposed to

Keep in mind that God gave us this ability because he knew we were able. Hang in there and remember they have really good labor drugs now. As far as your future give it to God he knows where he wants you to be, he will lead you.

Welcome to the world of prgnancy. I was so disturbed when i was pregnant with my first worried about being a good enough person to emotionally cope with a child. i had councelling. It helped tramendously. I had lost my Mum 3 months before i got pregnant and me and my partner hadn't been together long. Counselling and the help of Louise L Hay www.LouiseHay.com really helped me to relax and stop! She helped me to cope emotionally and love myself. I also reallised that i had enough skills to knwo how to cope with a baby its instinctive. Don't read anything about sicknesses during pregancy this is what makes you worry you think you have everything you read about. And pregnancy show are ok but not the ones about complicatons during pregnancy. These will just worry you more. Your baby is a truly special gift for God. Every day i carry i thank God that i am still pregnant and each time i reach a milestone i am more and more relaxed. Like 14 to 16 weeks when the placenta takes over feeding the baby. And at 24 to 26 weeks when the baby can survive outside of the womb its natural to worry its part of being a good parent. You have youself and your husband which is much more than alot of people have.

GOOD LUCK

Me again!
