What was the first thing you did with your New Born!!!

I believe that he is truly blessed, loopylou2406! LOL, Children sometimes ask very difficult questions and sometimes we can't even think of a proper way to answer them:-) Thanks for coming back:-)

How fulfilling it would have been when you introduced yourself and his father to him:-) I enjoy recalling all that experience. I dressed my son myself with the help of a nurse. I also remember that how I and my wife enjoyed seeing him and talking about his all the time when my wife was finally okay. I am visualizing your experience and I am enjoying feeling good for you and your son. Ah! happy birthday to the little one. He must be a happy proud child:-) Thanks for sharing your story, loopylou2406:-)

thanks for your kind words, he is very proud and he is a gemini so very confident and loving giving child im truly blessed to have him in my life!! he keeps asking me today where was he 6 years ago i cant really tell him all the ins and out so i m telling him ' u were giving me a really bad back ache"!!!!!

It's fine that you got a little personal, kamran! Thanks so much for sharing with me! =) In mine and my husband's case, we originally only wanted one child anyway. At some point I started to think I might want more, but with all the health problems during my pregnancy even the doctor advised against it. So we definitely don't plan to have more children now. There are so many things that are scary even in a normal pregnancy, and when you have complications it's just terrifying. That's part of what makes me very glad that I live in modern day and not some time in the past, because of the many things that modern medicine can do! I had seizures while pregnant, and even now the exact cause of them is a mystery. Add into that my chronic anemia and my lung condition... and it all adds up to a really scary situation. I fell so many times during my pregnancy having the seizures that I was just sure my son would be harmed, and there were several scares that we had with his heart doing strange things. I was one of those women that would go in for a regular checkup and wind up on monitors for hours because they thought something was wrong. I wound up having to have a C-section because my son was stuck, and even after several hours of pushing he just wasn't going to come out! Must have been comfy in there. =p I think for me the scariest thing was while they were actually cutting me open. My husband was watching them and telling me what was going on, and I was just imagining all kinds of horrible things that could be wrong with my child, because of all the problems I had had. And then there he was, and my husband was cutting the cord and everything, and then he was being taken out and cleaned up. My husband tells me that I looked pretty bad right afterwards too, with all the shaking and everything. Now, thinking about it, I remember calling him by his name for the first time, and how it felt differently saying it to him than just discussing what his name would be. It's hard to describe how it was different, but it was like I was saying "Dustin" for the very first time, even though we had been discussing naming him that for months.

I can understand, how frightening that would be for you to take him while in that condition, lecanis! You just reminded me of my wife's condition which I can never forget in my life. In fact all was set and expected to be normal but at the last stage, he refused to come down. As my wife's waters were already broken 21 hours ago, they finally decided to do C-section. While I remember the joy, accomplishment, fulfillment and satisfaction over him being quite normal, I totally forgot about him when I saw my wife as she came out of operation theatre. I won't forget that horrible scene when I saw her trembling vigorously, the whole bed was like as if there is earth quake. My mind went blank for some second seeing her in that state. A nurse hurried me to an adjacent room and didn't allow me to see her un till she was brought in that room. She was still like feeling very cold and trembling. They gave her an air blanket. She got somewhat normal after almost an hour. We had decided to have four kids but at that moment I really ruled out anymore children. I really don't want to see her in that state. I really love to have a girl but I am not sure what we will do. My wife is insistent on having more but I know I can't support it at least for a while un till I get normal with this feeling. After that first horrible hour, I did came to senses and noticed that I have a son now, LOL. My wife was not letting her eyes off him.

Sorry I got a little personal here and instead of replying to your post I narrated my own story. I am really glad that you could get pass your fear soon to enjoy and marvel over him. I can imagine how thankful you would be after a rough pregnancy as ours wasn't smooth either. oh yes, It's really amazing and fulfilling to see a normal and perfect child. I remember how I and my wife talked about his beautifully shaped long fingers. I pray that you continue to enjoy your son in the best possible way. Than you very much for sharing your story, lecanis!:-)

It's nice that your sons stayed with you, lillake!:-) How wonderful this feeling is to know that baby is fine and perfect! I know the only fear I had about my son was that what if he has some problem. Though all routine checkups kept telling us that everything is going fine but still my fear was only gone when I saw him with my own eyes and I was really thankful that he was fine. He had difficulty at first in latching but it was ok after some time. He almost always fed well when I was around but ever since they moved back, my wife tells me that he doesn't feel like fed by his mom. Thanks for sharing your story, lillake:-)

Well, I am still not a mother;however, I am about to get married in a few months from now. I have gone through so many things in my life being the eldest and holding the responsibilities of my family. But down the line, I think of the fact that I still have other roles to play. How hard would a life be when you move on with your life. No wonders Hat's off to ALL MOTHER's. I realize the pain and sacrifices that a mom does from the moment she gives birth to a child.

Thanks for sharing, KillBits! I assume that it was a cry of happiness:-)

How precious! paychecks, I can feel your speechlessness:-) My wife too couldn't hold him un till after two hours of surgery. she was in such a terrible state but she did see him right away without holding him. I couldn't afford kissing my son on face due to fear that he might get some problem. I assume that all the pain of previous months would have gone for a while when you held her in your arms:-). I say this because I felt the same when I held him. I, at that moment, did know any pain, just him:-) Thanks for sharing your story with us, paychecks:-)

I am glad to know that your delivery was normal, fab315! We have had a lot of issues dealing with post C-section problems, especially the emotional issues my wife had, not being able to be close to our boy. "Thank God for my baby, she's healthy and so pretty", It is so satisfying when the baby is normal and without health problems. I can relate to that feeling when I myself saw my boy. I am sorry to hear that you were not able to hold her before after a week of her birth. I can understand, seeing my own wife, that how difficult it would have been for you and also for your baby. "The first time I hold her, I felt like the world stop from turning..it was the most peaceful and heart warming moment in my life." How so true, my mind went blank about every thing else for a few seconds when I saw my boy for the first time. There was nothing except him:-) so I understand this feeling too! I am sorry that I made you feel like crying but I am glad at the same time that you had some more moments of being emotionally close to your baby:-) You are also right that we will never get bored on repeating, telling and sharing stories about our kids, like I have repeated many things here too:-) Thank you for sharing these things with us fab315!, I really appreciate your time and sharing:-)

I am really sorry for what horrible has happened to you, suspenseful! How could they take your baby away from you? where did it happen and why they do it? I am a little upset at knowing this. Do tell us if you could, please.
