Briggsy, I had a good friend of mine say something to me last night. When i said to them that I 'hate' being pregnant (which, so far, I do) and that I still don't know how to talk to little kids (never really have) She asked me weather this is something that I really want or if this is just something that I felt 'had to be done' in life. It kinda hurt because I started doubting myself and my choices. Yes, it's true, I just don't do little kids. Never been the one to play with them, I'm just awkward with them. I'm not really the maternal type. I don't baby talk either. I just said to my friend that I kinda wanted to skip pregnancy and baby and toddler and meet my little person who I can hold an adult conversation with. A version of me, what will they be like? What kind of personality will they have? I guess I'm a bit uncomfortable with the whole baby stages. Maybe I'm just scared...

Sorry, this turned into a novel!

Your friend is clueless! How horrible to say something like that

Reality is, you will have your baby, you'll freak out a bit about knowing nothing, and then you'll learn it. And your baby will teach you. You'll learn to interact with a toddler as your bub grows. You may still have zero time for other kids, but your own is different.

Grrr to people making you doubt yourself!
