Good. This shows a great deal of common sense. If you weren't doubtful it would be a very bad sign.

If you mean "scared" as in scared you'll scar the baby for life, scared you'll not do everything perfectly, scared you'll run into a situation you didn't anticipate or can't figure out, well, you learn to live with it.

If you mean "scared" as in scared as in scared you'll drop the baby, scared you'll be the diaper on backwards, scared you'll feed her the wrong thing, it's just practice.

If you have any friends or relatives with small children, start interacting with them. You'll learn stuff.
