It doesn't come naturally to everyone. If you're a new mum and you've not been brought up around babies how are you supposed to know? 
I am an only child, I was only 22 when I had my first baby and he was the first baby I had ever held! 
I was petrified at first and was grateful for all help and advice offered to me.

The point i am making is that we never had things like this way back then.
Didn't even get my first scan till the last months of my 4th pregnancy in 77.
I wasn't an only child, but had no experience of babies. My brother was born when i was 4, so no help there in going through pregnancy or motherhood! All i remember about him as a baby is his constant pooing!
My first baby was the first newborn i had ever held or had any dealings with.
Think these days we are being brainwashed into thinking if you haven't been to this class or that, you can't do it right!
Not saying you can't ask for help if you want it
Of course you are nervous with your first. That's been so since time immemoriable.
