It starts.....
Weeellll here goes...... I'm standing on a major threshold of my adult life and wishing that I could just get it over with. Everyone has been telling me for months about how much my life is about to change but the realization is hitting me like an avalanche.
For those of you who don't know me, I am currently 37 wks pregnant. Which equates to 9 months and one week. My due date is actually Jan. 17 though. I went for my appt yesterday with my obstetrician when he dropped the proverbial bomb. I'm dialated 1 and a half cms. It could be days, it could be hours.
The last nine months are coming to a head. Its really going to happen. I'm going to give birth and have a son who is going to need me for the rest of my life. Its a bad time to be questioning my parenting skills, but I can't help it.
So all of you out there, Have a very Happy and safe New Year. I know I will.

Questioning your parental skills is VERY normal right now...but alot really is instinctual.
I fretted about my first delivery, and what kind of job I would do...upto having a near panick attack that there was NO way they would let me take her from the hospital.
My second was very premature, but I already had some parenting experience under my belt and didnt suffer the same anxiety.
lol...I now do it alone...and I ...as do many others, do quite well.
I think the key is experiencing the very worry you ARE experiencing...it means you are putting thought and effort into it already...
Your worrying is an example of being a good parent, in and of itself.
Good luck and an early (maybe, if you havent delivered by the time you read this?) Congrats on your precious new son.

Good luck or congratulations ... I've got a sixth month old son and question my parenting every day. Reassure yourself that all you ever have to be is just good enough.
