Im 23 weeks pregnant and am scared about a lot of things. One that my baby might not be normal, second that I might have difficulty in giving birth, 3rd I might not be ready for motherhood and become a horrible mom or a terrible wife. Are these normal? Help me please.

Yes all normal. Don't worry about the birth. You will be ready when the time comes. Know you are a strong woman and you will be joining the league of all the other strong women who have brought life into this world.
About taking care of baby. You will love him or her so much you'll know exactly what to do. I was scared of the same thing. But you know how the cat the first time she had kittens and you asked "how does she know what to do?" When you have your baby you will know just how the cat knew how to take care of the first kittens. My advice to you is the baby will tell you exactly what to do so pay attention to the signals.
You are not a terrible wife, you are a great wife who is bringing life and joy into the world.
Being pregnant will really only be a short time out of your life, and its an experience worth enjoying. Enjoy the good stuff, like sonnograms and when the baby kicks. Enjoy looking at your self with such a round belly. Enjoy the way everyone treats you, be a pregnant premadonna! Enjoy the way all the food is tasting. Enjoy those wacky pregnancy dreams.
Its so worth it. Whatever pregnancy puts you through its all worth that first cry. You can do this. Everything will truely be okay. One day you'll wonder what life was like without your child in it.

thats very normal, i am in my second pregnancy and although i had a very normal and healthy boy before, im worried that there could be something wrong with the baby. I think everyone does. Also in my first i was worried about having trouble giving birth because they told me that he was a big baby, and he was 9lb 7oz.. but i did it. Let me tell you that its so amazing what your body can get through, and you will be perfectly fine delivering your baby! But it is a normal worry also. As for becoming a bad mum, i never had that feeling, but you shouldnt worry. Once you hold that baby in your arms, you will feel instant love and you will always do whats best for your baby..being a mum just comes naturally after giving birth which is such a great thing. Try not to worry you will do fine and your baby with be absolutely normal and healthy. goodlucK!

of course all fears when you are pregnant are normal . some women even have dreams of their future babies being abnormal . those fears you are having are perfectly natural . just relax everything will be fine . good luck and congrats on the baby.
