Its amazing isn't it the miracle of giving birth? When my mother gave birth to me ( I was her first child ) I'm sure she loved me more than anything in this world, the same way i feel about my son. Of course as time went on my mother went on to have my sister and then my two brothers. As we aged my mother became increasingly close to my sister and basically just let me be. Our relationship was non exsistant until i had my son. Now she has been coming over and visiting and she calls way more often. I think what bothers me is i still don't feel comfortable enough to talk to her about things that are personal. Isn't that weird? I mean she is my mother I am her daughter her first born and i don't feel comfortable talking to her about things that bother me or things that make me happy. I'm not sure why hmmm I just hope that our realtionship continues to grow and become better as i'm sure it will.
Thanks for reading.

YEs giving brith is amazing! I have two beautiful children of my own which I love more then life it's self! I will be trying to balance out my relationship with both of my children as best that I can. I hope your relationship continues to grow with your mother, it may be weird at first but hopefully you'll be able to get close to her. My mother and I are very close and talk about most things. I'm so grateful to have her in my life and your parents won't always be there so now is the time! Good luck!

hello stardustw83..yes, i agree with you..it's really amazing when my mother gave birth to me, me too, i'm her first child..i'm already a mother too, and i feel what she feel when she delivered me, she had that dry labor, i'm a blue baby and i'm very small that time she delivered me..she said that it was amazing that i'm a fighter..i'm still living with my parents, since i'm a single mom, i still need my mom to take care of my child when i'm in work..our relationship with my mother is still strong, we share happy and pain moments.. we laugh and cry together that makes our relationship become strong..

I've felt the same way as you do with your mom as I feel about my mom and especially my aunt. It took me having my kids for my Aunt to really want to be a part of my life again, as I'm an only child and the only child on my moms side, and she treated me like I was her own kid growing up. Now we've become best friends wich is kinda crazy.
Just give things time. I bet the birth of your son is what opened her up to new conversations with you, when she maybe didn't have anything in common or know where to start since you've grown appart.
