I'm going to be a first time parent any advice?

I’m due for a baby boy November 7th. I AM FREAKING OUT. I just held a child for the first time the other day. Does any one have any advice they wish they would have had?

Answer #1

LOL, get ready for your life to be completely turned upside down and all your priorities to change. Seriously, the amount of time and energy I spent on breathing lessons and preparing for the birth itself — was so miniscule compared to how that first year was.

Whatever sounds negative, e.g. he;s 2 months old and refuses to stop crying and you;re still in your PJs when dad gets home at 6 pm… is totally offset by the joy you’ll feel at having someone new to love and watch grow.

You will become a protector. You will change from a child into a parent - and you will be amazed at your new abilities and intuition to comfort this little being and teach him how to become a part of the world.

Talk a lot to other new mothers, and come back here when time permits, for extra help… you’re in for a wonderful experience and all the bad times and lack of sleep will be worth it.
