How Did You Feel About Your Baby

with everyone of my kids icried cuz iwas so happy to physically hold them in my arms, and happy that they were born with no complications, I don't know what i would have done if any had passed away on me I just love them sooo much

I was really happy and start crying when I heard her voice. I already loved my baby before she was born.

I was amazed by the reality and the absolute perfection of this tiny person, amazed by the fact that it had been inside of me just minutes before though I'd never really seen it with my own eyes until that moment(except through a few grainly ultrasounds). And so in love!

funny as it may seem. i didnt connect to her right away. her father did though. i had some postpardum stuff going on! but now! omg! she is my life. my everything. all i ever need, and needed!

I loved my baby from the moment i found out i was pregnant, i talked to him every night and told him how much i loved him and how i couldnt wait until we met. I think a mothers love is automatic.

I had a very surreal bonding experience following my first birth. I looked down at my daughter for the first time and I felt what seemed like a physical wave crash over me. It was almost violent, yet it felt wonderful. I went from just wanting to get the baby out, to feeling more attached to and in love with anyone than I'd ever been. When my second child was born, they wrapped him up so much, I felt like the blankets were interfering with my chance to bond with him. As soon as I was alone with him, I unwrapped him and, again had that feeling of being knocked over by a wave of love. I do realize this doesn't happen for everyone, so I felt very lucky to have gone through it.

I felt like I was in over my head and that I didn't know what I got myself into. I felt like she was a stranger, but we didn't get any time to ourselves much at the hospital with all of his family visiting. It was alot for me to take in.

ty very much

ty very much..here she is

i was overwelmed with joy..my heart sang a tune and thats why i called her melodie

I fell in love with my son the moment I knew I was pregnant. There was a life inside of me, and he was all mine. He was the most gorgeous baby I had ever seen when he was born, and I remember feeling so overwhelmed, scared, and excited all at the same time. I love my son more than anything in this world.

Hard to say, but I love my daughter when I got her in my arms and that was by birth

I was very overprotective and hated other people holding my baby, I wanted to just be alone to spend time with him! It felt like everyone else got to hold him and not me lol

of course..i loved him so much...i just wanted to hold him and protect him.

I loved my children before they were even born, my son for some reason I felt like we were already bonded at birth, but my daughter, everything sort of felt surreal to me, and I felt like she was someone elses child, I just couldnt get through to myself that I actually had a daughter and that I had given birth to the baby across the room from me

That's the weird part about it... Everyone thinks that the second your baby is born you have some connection with it. Don't get me wrong, I was SOOOO happy my daughter was here. I just didn't feel like everyone said I was supposed to feel. I do know though. It took time for me. And I like that. Because I actually made a bond with my baby because we worked for it, not because it was just given to us. I will say though.. I had an emergency csection and was completely knocked out. So I didn't get to see, hear, or hold her for a few hours. Well, after I had woken up she was crying and crying. They brought her over to me and she just looked up and stopped like "hey.. I know you!" That was one of my proudest moments as a mother.

Hello there...and great topic btw..my cousin and i were talkin about this the other day..she ha s a new bor../and this topic came up..When I first had him with all the complications I could barely hold him wothout dropping him..so i only held him a few mins and then passed out..i had him 9:24am and slept till about 11pm..wow i know lol..but i was also in hard labor for 3 days..anywho..I deff loved him at first site..i had so much love that my heart felt liek it was gonna explode..but..i really didnt feel any bond with him teill he was about a month old..It was soooooooo weird..and i dont know why..but i remember the instant it happened..and i dont know what exaclt happened..it just did..he is my world..and i just cant ever imagine what my life would have been like wihtout him..

I felt totally in love and bonded with all three of mine before they where even born. I was overwhelmed with joy and love when I was able to meet them face to face for the first time. I still am every time I look at them! It is a love like no other!!

I loved my children before they were born. They are the reason I get up every morning.

I felt I already knew her. I had talked to her for nine months. And yes I loved her the second I saw her.
