答案:
1. both后加an
time在此表示一段时期，是可数名词，而anxious以元音开头，所以加an
2. expected改为expectant
the expectant mother为习惯用法，表示the woman who is pregnant
3. another改为other
another后应为单数名词
4. and改为or
用or表示两者任意一种情况
5 because改为although
根据上下文逻辑关系判断，这里应该为让步关系
6.these前加of
think是不及物动词，think of表示”想起，想到”等含义
7. unable改为able
根据上下文可做判断，用将要做妈妈的这种兴奋来安慰自己
8. how改为what
what做be like的表语
9. when前加and
并列从句用and连接
10.the 改为a
表示泛指任意一个
