It is a new and exctiting time and since you've never experienced anything like it, it is kind of scary.

It's normal.

Yes it is weird to have a lot of emotions. Your mind must be on a roller coaster. I take it your in your teens? but old enough to take on having this baby. Are you scared of telling your parents because that is a bigger step then telling your boyfriend who I hope you have told. He needs to know - you can't do this alone and sometimes a friend doesn't know how to help. Get a councillor and talk as well so you know more of where your at and how you feel about the who situation. Everything will be alright and I am sure you will do the right thing. Take a deep breath and relax. You can contact me if you ever need to talk. Take care.

Yes, it is very normal especially for your first child. I got pregnant when I was 17 and my husband was 22. He already had a son from a previous relationship, but it was soo hard on me, and I was on an emotional high the whole time I was pregnant. Any little thing could make me cry, and I took a lot of thing the wrong way. Just keep your head up and think about the beautiful baby your going to bring into this world. Good Luck to you!

You sound very young, just by the question. I suggest you speak to someone. If there is not an adult you feel close to, seek assistance from planned parenthood or others in the same situation.

Being pregnant for the first time an be scary if you don't know what to expect. There are some great books on pregnancy that you should check out. I strngly suggest "A Child Is Born" by Lennart Nilsson. It is older but the pictures are amazing.

Best of luck!

Yes, it is perfectly normal to feel a whole gambet of emotions. I am not a person that crys about anything, but I would just break down and cry and I didn't even know why. I wasn't even upset about anything... It's the weirdest thing a woman can go through. But you just need to know that everything will be fine. Maybe when you are in a happy mood you should write down your thoughts, then when you are feeling unsure and afraid, you go back to what you wrote down so that you can remind yourself of how happy you will be when the baby comes.
Good Luck

I don't think anyone can ever prepare themselves mentally for feeling such strong feelings. I didn't know how much I wanted a baby until I fell pregnant and now that I'm pregnant I'm still feeling all sorts of weird emotions, it doesn't stop there hun and yes, you are completely normal

Don't have a baby unless you are really prepared to have one, mentally and financially. Make sure you get some professional advice in this matter. You're going through many emotions and need someone to meet with you and talk you through your issues. Search on the web and you'll find many free resources to help you.

Its normal, it will come and go. I'm 36 and I feel the same way.

You are never fully prepared to have your first baby. Hell, from reading pregnancy q&a, no one is ever really fully prepared for all their children.

It is just your hormones and fear is a great emotion to have because it makes you deal with the things that need to be taken care of in preparation for the baby.

Are you pregnant, if so, how far along are you? Feeling scared is natural...but trust me, once that baby is born your maternal instincts kick in and all of a sudden you'll know how to hold the baby, how to change diapers, you'll know what your baby else needs while everyone is scratching their watches and winding their butts...having a baby is a wonderful thing...I would suggest you think about all the wonderful stuff you have in store for you...like the baby learning the first words (push him/her to say mama first..hehe), hearing him/her giggle, watching them take their first steps...

It might be nerve wrecking right now, but it will be worth it...babies are always the most precious gift...good luck!!!!

I'm not sure what you're scared of, but I certainly wouldn't bring a baby into a situation where you're "not mentally prepared, " "scared," and have "a lot of weird emotions." I hope you're not already pregnant.

Yes it's normal to feel that way and actually its the correct feeling a person should feel before planning a family. It only means that your aware of what will happen in the future based on the actions you'll gonna do today. Advise: Don't engaged into something your not ready to face yet, someday.....
