I am 20 weeks pregnant with my third, and I am still worried something will go wrong, even though there were no problems with the first two. I think some people read a lot of books, and just talk like they know everything, from their own experience or what they have read. If there is anything that I have learned, being pregnant for the third time, is that you can't really predict anything. With my first I went into labor on my due date, and had her the next morning. With my second, I had to walk around for almost three weeks 3 cm dilated and two weeks late before the doctor would finally induce me. Even nurses that have been helping and delivering babies for 20 years can't predict it, because with my second I was dilated to 7 cm, the nurse said it would be at least an hour, so she was going to lunch, she didn't even get to the elevator before my husband had to run after her because the baby was coming. I think I pushed three times.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy, I wish I could tell you how not to be scared or worried, but I still haven't figured it out. When I do I will pass my wisdom along!LOL!!

I only trust those who have taken time to research situations regarding pregnancy and parenting. I don't listen to my in-laws or anyone at work just because they had kids! I don't advise that anyone do that, rather I would recommend reading books by some highly regarded people and asking a lot of questions to your midwife or doctor. It's normal to feel nervous about having a new baby even if you've had one before-- no two pregnancies are the same and no two children are the same, even twins! Ask the people you trust for support and educate yourself as much as possible!

I don;t understand what exactly you are asking. I have one child as well, and I've given a little advice on here, but in no way to I think I am an expert. Every child is different, and I'm sure when it's time for no. 2, I'll be nervous and asking for advice as well.

I don't think everyone necessarily thinks they are experts. I think there are certainly some people who think they know everything about everything whether or not they have actually experienced it, but I think that most people just give advice based on their own experiences.
I have one child and am pregnant with my second and am very nervous about the prospect of parenting a newborn and a two-year old, so I can share your feelings in that area.

yeah, but you have an idea of what to expect. You wern't in a coma for the first one were you? You know by now that kids are not made of glass, and that they will cry, get sick, have tamtrums and break things. You do know all this, right?
If so, then you are WAY ahead of first time parents, who are so busy color coordinating the kids clothes with the home decore that they over look things like spit up and snot when planning the future.

Remember no one's perfect or an expert...
And baby's don't come with an instruction manual.
If someone asks for advice- there gonna get a whole set of different opinions..
LOL-think of it this way ( why do our own parents try to tell us how to take care of your own baby)
