I'm terrified of becoming a mother

I was thinking about how my body will swell and stretch, and how I wouldn't' fit into all of my clothing anymore. I will be exhausted and drained all of the time, I will forced to sleep while I'd much rather be doing something else. I'm afraid of craving seafood or meat when I haven't eaten it in over a decade; but, what if that's just what my body and baby require? And I'm afraid of losing my child before it's even born.

I'm afraid of the tearing and bruising, as well as the knowledge that your body will never be the same again, on the inside or out. And I'm afraid that one of the nurses or doctors will have a bad day, make a mistake, and leave me paying the price for the rest of my life. I'm terrified of the process of giving birth, let alone giving birth. What if I give birth to a stillborn child? What if I pass away? What if anything happens to my child that renders him/her disabled for the remain of their lives? I wish these feelings didn't occupy my mind, but they do. Since there are so many possibilities for something to go wrong.

Oh...I have to face this...

My dear, is the joy of motherhood, those that passed through those stress their head is not bigger than yours.
Just embrace it and occupy your mind with carrying that tender baby that passed through you.
Congratulations dear
