31 Things Only A Mom Thinks About

Moms sometimes tend to be a little creative. If we don’t have enough information, we worry and can imagine the most unusual things possible.

Sometimes, we go so far as to pick up the phone to ask the pediatrician everything that goes through our minds in these moments of many questions. In this post we will list 31 things that only a mother thinks.

Being a mother and being worried about everything that might happen to your child seem to be synonymous. From the moment we are given the news of the confirmation that we are pregnant, a lot of things start to circulate in our head. Things that only happen to us, moms.

However, the great news is that it never ends. Being a mother has no expiration date and our worries will be present until the day we are no longer on the physical plane.

In this post we’ve compiled the 31 most popular and common things we moms think about from the moment we get pregnant until our child reaches preschool age.

During the pregnancy

1. I’m not going to tell my friends until I reach the third month that no one comes in with bad energy and creates problems in my pregnancy. 
2. Is the baby forming well? When I do the first ultrasound, the obstetrician will have to allow me at least 4 hours until he sees very well from head to toes. It’s good that he has a lot of patience.
3. It’s all in one piece, good! Now I have a few more questions: will he be able to see and hear well?
4. I hope he doesn’t look like… (name of a relative of the husband). God help me!
5. What if he doesn’t cry when he’s born? What do I do?

after birth

1. Did the doctors check well? Did the fingers and toes count? Is it complete?
2. Is everything OK? Did you talk to the doctor? Aren’t you hiding something from me?
3. Are you breathing well? Can I take it home?
4. Can I really get out of here with my baby without anyone asking me anything? What if I was stealing?

When taking the baby home

1. Will I be able to take good care of my baby?
2. That’s a big responsibility and it’s really tiring, I thought it would be more fun.
3. Is my milk of good quality to feed my baby correctly?
4. Why when my baby is sleeping soundly it seems to stop breathing? I better keep an eye out.
5. Is everything complete inside? Is there an internal malformation that was not detected? Better call the pediatrician.
6. Will you be well hydrated just by breastfeeding? I better give water. No, better not!
7. Wow, two days without a bowel movement… Did I prepare the bottle the wrong way, did I do something wrong?
8. Why are you crying so much? Could it be that I don’t know how to interpret what he’s feeling or take good care of him?
9. I’m exhausted and depressed, am I a bad mother?
10. I couldn’t even change my clothes and I’ve already changed the baby’s 5 times today.
11. This is not how I dreamed, I feel like crying too.
12. Why hasn’t the first tooth started yet? Is there something wrong?
13. Why can’t he sit alone? What is going on?

When you start work or have to leave the baby in the nursery

1. I feel free for a few hours, I think I’m happy.
2. I feel so guilty leaving him in someone else’s care. And if I take care of him during the day and work at night… No, that’s crazy!
3. I feel like I’m running away, but I need to. My feelings are mixed! Ah, I feel like an unnatural mother.
4. Are they feeding correctly? I don’t think they are doing like me…. My son must not be too comfortable….
5. What if they mistreat my baby? If I find something like that, they’ll really know who I am.
6. What do I do if I still need diapers when my child turns 3?
7. When we go to the pediatrician for sure, we will be infected with the viruses of other children who are sick. What agony! They should divide the office into two separate places: healthy children and children with viruses.
8. Grandparents give you a lot of food, you’ll soon be overweight.
9. When he is taken care of by his grandparents, he comes home different and more rude. In my upbringing my parents were more strict. The baby does what he wants with them, I don’t understand. But I better be quiet, I don’t want to cause more stress.

It does not stop there…

When your child is a little older, we will have new anxieties and thoughts when he is not around us: “I’m afraid they will kidnap him”, and “why doesn’t he communicate with me? ”, “Did he have an accident? “.

That’s why we can conclude that a mother’s love and concern never ends.
