Becoming a mom can also be a scary time. As you prepare for the birth of your baby, it’s natural to have some concerns. “What will my baby be like?” “Will I be a good parent?” Will my baby be O.K.?” At times you’ll be delighted with the idea of becoming a mom; sometimes you wont. And concerns may grow about your baby, yourself, and issues surrounding the dad-to-be and the grandparents-to-be. You may be concerned about how you will financially support yourself and your baby. Where will you live during and after the pregnancy? How will the pregnancy be paid for? Where do I find a doctor? How do I receive prenatal care?
