31 Things Only Moms Think About

In this article, we will go through 31 things that only mothers think about. When we do not have enough information, we begin to worry and can sometimes ask ourselves the strangest questions.

Sometimes we even call the pediatrician to ask about just what is going through our head. Being a mother seems to be the synonym for always being nervous about our children.

From the moment we find out we are pregnant, a series of things begin that only we can think of circulating in our thoughts. 

The great news is that it never stops!

Being a mother does not have an expiration date – we will always worry and think about our children.

In this article, we have gathered 31 common things that mothers think about from the moment they get pregnant until their children get older.

During pregnancy

• I will not tell my friend about my pregnancy until I reach the third month. No one with negative energy should be around my pregnancy as they will only cause problems.
• Is my child developing properly? The obstetrician will undergo the first ultrasound for up to 4 hours. The doctor must examine the fetus from head to toe. Be patient.
• I hope my child does not look like… (name of spouse close). God help me. 
• What happens if the baby does not cry at birth? What should I do?

During childbirth

• Has the doctor checked properly? Did they all talk fingers and toes? Is my child a hero?
• Is everything OK? Did you talk to the doctor? Are you hiding something from me?
• Is the child breathing properly? Can I go home now?
• Can I really walk away from here with my baby without anyone asking me anything? What if I steal it?

When you take the baby home

• Will I be able to take good care of my baby?
• There are a lot of responsibilities that are exhausting. I thought it would be more fun.
• Will my breast milk be good enough to feed the baby properly?
• Why do they seem to stop breathing when they sleep? I think I need to keep an eye on them.

• Are they healthy inside? Do they have any kind of internal malformation that no one has discovered? I’m calling the pediatrician.
• Is the baby getting enough hydration with breastfeeding? I should give it some water. No, I probably should not.
• Two days without stool. Did I make the bottle correctly? Did something go wrong?
• Why is the baby crying so much? Do I interpret the crying correctly?
• I am exhausted and depressed. Does that make me a bad mother?
• I have not been able to change my clothes. It seems unfair when I have changed the baby 5 times today.
• That’s not how I imagined it would be. I feel like crying.
• Why has the child not had his first tooth yet? Is there something wrong?
• Why is the baby not sitting alone? What happens?

When you start working or giving them for day care

• I’m free for hours. Why am I so happy?
• I feel guilty about leaving my baby in the care of others. I could look after the baby during the day and work at night… it’s not wild!

• I feel like I’m avoiding my responsibilities, but I’m going to have to work. I have mixed feelings! Urgh! I feel like I’m a bad mother.
• Does the baby eat correctly? Is it well?
• What if they hit or hurt you? If I see something like that, they get to see my bad side.
• What will I do if the baby continues to use diapers until they are 3 years old? 
• Is it safe at the pediatrician? Will the child get sick from other children? They should divide it into two sections; one for the healthy and one for the sick.
• The grandparents give the child too much food. I hope it does not become overweight.
• When the child’s grandparents take care of them, they come back “spoiled”. When they raised me, my parents were stricter. The child does what he wants with them, but I should keep quiet. I do not want to make the situation more stressful.

And the list goes on with what moms are thinking…

When the child is older, we get a new set of “worries and thoughts”. When our child is not with us, we worry: “What if they are kidnapped? Why did he not call me? Could there have been an accident?

Therefore, we can conclude that a mother’s love and worries never end and that mothers think of their children from the second they are born.
