I'm 23 weeks today too - exact same no idea on nappies or anything, NCT will help I'm sure! Also lots of free NHS videos too x
It's honestly just all instinct. I was the exact same, no experience or anything. You just know somehow. I'm pregnant with my 2nd and have managed to keep my first alive for 3 years😂. You will do great! X
Its so normal to feel this way, I was the same when I was pregnant with my first and honestly, you’ll be great! There are midwives and nurses all around in the hospital so if you’re stuck at any point, they’re there to help - just don’t be afraid to ask, it’s why they’re there and they don’t judge 😊 most new mums are in the same boat! I know it sounds cliche, but you learn really quickly and when it comes down to it, your instincts do kick in!
23 weeks tomorrow and also never changed a nappy, trust me you are not alone! I have absolutely no idea what I need to do I’m hoping some kind of motherly instinct kicks in and intuition guides me😂 everyone who has kids has probably been in this same spot and they have all managed it, just as you will!
Same here!!
Don’t panic! Try go to some classes if your worried or do some googling / YouTube videos, you will eventually just learn your way when baby is here and gain a way of doing things, they also show you all this in hospital too once baby is here ! I’m a first time mum to be due in may but I had siblings to practice on! 🥰 honestly try not to stress yourself ! It will come naturally X
I just had my husband do the stuff I was too scared to do, like nappy changes and baths, for the first few weeks or so 😅 I actually don't think I bathed my daughter on my own until she was like 6 months old 🙈 Nappies I had to figure out a bit sooner but it's alright, it's not rocket science. And even if you do it wrong the worst thing that can happen is a poonami 💩
I'm 23 weeks and feeling exactly the same x
this is my 2nd and i’m still a bit wary of having to do the newborn stuff again. when i had my first id never changed a nappy or given a baby a bottle, didn’t even know how to hold one. then when she was born they literally just placed her on me and wheeled us onto a ward and left me completely alone with this tiny little thing, it was awful. but i promise you do pick it up quick and eventually it feels natural😅
I didn’t have a clue my fiancé/the hospital taught me everything when my son was finally here, it’s like starting a new job you pick up everything as you go!
Same and i wouldnt mind but i already have a 19 month old so i do know what im doing and what to expect! Most days i just wing it and hope for the best 😂 Im still alive 19 months on and so is my LG so must be getting something right lol
I’m pregnant with my third baby due in may & I can honestly say that I was the same as you when I had my first. My best advice would be to just ensure you look up the correct way to hold baby, support neck etc. nappies, feeding will come naturally - my first night in hospital I set alarms to ensure I woke up however this was so unnecessary as my body literally just kicked into action upon hearing a cry from baby. There’s lots of people in the hospital to help if needed & if you have things you want answered ask fellow mums on here. We’ve all been in the same boat & honestly you’ll smash it xx
Me and my husband was the exact same with our 1st but honestly it just comes naturally xx
I’ve been watching YouTube “how take care of newborn” and I guess first time I’ll be changing a nappy I’ll just follow along a video on my phone 😂😂🙈🫠 Can’t be much harder than changing a tyre (I hope)….
