Overwhelmed by my own thoughts

28 weeks pregnant, I have no doubt that I love my baby. However, some days these whelming thoughts creep up on me… will I be a good mum? How do I juggle work and baby? How do I build a career while being there with for my family? Will my marriage with my hubs change? Will I be resentful? Is my hubs ready to be a dad? Will I be a good daughter to my own mum now that my I have to divide more attention to everyone? Can I afford to raise my baby and provide for him to the best of my abilities? Will delivery hurt? Etc… I’m currently not working, but planning to return to the workforce after I deliver. Though I feel excited and happy for my baby’s arrival, I cant help but feel useless/ helpless in some ways and fearful of what is to come. Sighs…
