Getting pregnant in Syria, at the time seemed like a good idea, but lack of tools, minimal understanding of Arabic and the constant preasure to keep eating 24/7 really did nothing for me. Now back in Canada I have about 3 months left until my due date ( august 22/08), and I'm not really prepared at all. I've been watching "Birth Stories" everyday and to be honest when I see those women give birth I cringe and am completely frightened for the day I will be the one having a 7 pound baby rip through me. Don't get me wrong though, I want to be a mother, probably more than anything else in this world, I'm just extremely scared. My husband is so opposite of me right now, he's so calm and relaxed, mashAllah. The only thing he has on his mind right now is finances, and how in the world we are going to afford all the things a baby needs. I'm starting to wonder were we just not quite ready for a baby or is this just the normal jitters everyone feels temporairly before a baby comes and changes your life forever?

Oh Mashallah
the fact that you are concerned is a natural and great thing as :P you will be observant and become a great mother! I think its pefrectly normal for you to have these thoughs and feelings, and I doubt its that you and your husband are not ready, but much rather, this is a huge life change and for any woman it can become intimidating ;) especially because it will happen so soon!
Once your baby is home and you're all settled you'll see how much things have changed and thats half the pressure off of your shoulders!!
Best of luck inshallah!
