How drastically does having a baby change your life?

I'm five months pregnant with twin girls...I've always been rather self-absorbed and into just doing things that I want to do and doing things at the spur of the moment, traveling, etc...I've never had to care for anyone else in my life and have never even babysat ever (I have no younger siblings and never had a baby sitting job). I've never been around babies much and don't really know how to take care of them. How hard really is it to take care of a baby? How drastically did having a baby change your life?

In your case, it will change your life drastically. It won't be all about %26quot;me me me%26quot; anymore...you'll have two totally helpless little girls who depend on you for everything, and you'll be lucky if you can find 5 minutes in the day to take a quick shower, much less take off at the drop of a hat and go out with friends, to the movies, etc. Don't get me wrong--A) You CAN still do those things!! It just takes more planning than usual; and B) it'll be WELL worth it--trust me!



Babies are really easy to care for--especially in the beginning. All they do is eat, sleep and poop. :) Once they get a little older, you have to start watching out for them getting into stuff (once they start crawling/walking, etc. There's really nothing *difficult* about raising a child--it's just a LOT of work (but again, well worth it, you'll see!).



It is exhausting because until they become preschool aged, they can't do ANYTHING for themselves--can't dress themselves, can't feed themselves, can't pour themselves a glass of milk, can't use the toilet, etc. So yes, it's exhausting, and it never ends, but once again (and I'm sorry, I KNOW I sound like a broken record!) it is worth it.



The first time your girls smile at you, or run to the door with their little arms out when you've been at work all day and say, %26quot;mommy, we missed you!%26quot; and proceed to give you a wet, sloppy kiss, your heart will melt and you'll fall in love with them all over again!How drastically does having a baby change your life?
how drastically does it change your life? very...will it take a lot of time to adjust? not really...motherly instinct usually kicks in right away and it feels like it was always meant to be, like you don't even remember what you are missing...How drastically does having a baby change your life?
becoming a mom is a HUGE transformation. so huge, that you can only take it one day at a time. it's wonderful and when you bond with your babies it's the greatest thing. you won't be able to be self-absorbed anymore, but occasionally you'll need a babysitter so you can get away and have some time to yourself. once motherly instinct kicks in (right away) you'll know what to do.How drastically does having a baby change your life?
it changes very drastically. my sister had her first child at the age of 16, and she was always into doing what she wanted. as soon as she had her baby it all stopped. she didn't go out with her friends, she didn't have them come over as often, no more parties, random day trips to the lake or out of town. she had to start working full time to take care of her daughter, she spent every moment with her unless she was at work or school.

i guess when you actually have a baby you will adjust just fine because your motherly instincts kick in.

girl tell you she likes you
