When you deliver your first child, it is a mixture of emotions. You feel you entered motherhood. You feel the beautiful love and affection between husband and wife has took form of a small bundle of joy in the form of a small cute baby. When your husband comes to see for the first time after your delivery, you and your precious gift of a child, how will/did you feel and what will/did you say? Please share this precious moment of your life with us.

My husband was glowing when he met both of our children for the first time. There have been two times my husband has cried and they were both the first meeting. He was amazed at how tiny they both were and kept holding there little hands in his big hands and commenting on how precious they were. He reacted the same way for both children. He has changed so much since our first son was born and now is mature in ways I never thought possible.
My husband was in the room when I delivered both children as well and was very interested in the whole process. He was attentive to me and my needs and was right there to cut the cord when they were delivered.
Thanks for making me remember those wonderful moments :)

Very heart touching indeed. My Grand mother says, the pain at the time of delivery is more for a man than for a woman. You undergo physical pain whereas husband undergoes mental pain which is very painful as to how my wife will bear the pain, what will happen and so many questions at a time. Once the sweet boon is born, everything gone and a FULL satisfaction that everything went on well and a spark in the eyes to see a child who is the mixture of you and your spouse made out of true love and affection, oh! that moment is unexplainable and can only be felt. Thanks you shared your wonderful personal memory with us. God bless you and your family.

It is quite a moment for the father. I personally did not have any pain medication during my two delivery's and I remember the look on his face during my contractions. He was so scared for me and did not know what to do. He almost looked like a deer in the headlights. But, when all was well and the babies were here, he was so relieved and so thankful for all I had gone through. I was so grateful to him for being supportive and allowing me to do it how I felt most comfortable. The love you feel for a child is unexplainable for sure. Magnificent really.

My husband was with me all through the labor - it was a different type of bonding moment than we've ever exerperienced before! He helped me with the labor . . . and he saw the baby as it was coming out. After they placed our daugter on me for a bit, they put her to the side to clean her up. My husband made sure I was ok first . . . then he hovered by our daughter as medical staff did their thing . . . and you could tell instantly that he was so in love and would be the best daddy in the world for her. It was all beautiful.
That was such a neat moment . . . and we will go through that again about December with our second child. We are so excited . . . and it will be neat to see the reaction of my older daughter as it will be the first time she will be seeing her first sibling!!

Oh! That is great much2say, Congratulations. As you correctly put it, it is a different type of bonding as parents of our kid. Has your first one taken the arrival of her sibling in a friendly sense?

Our daughter is very excited about her brother coming soon. She is almost 5, so she understands the concept (better than say, a 2 or 3 year old). She feels my tummy everyday and gives him hugs . . . she says "the baby is mine, ALL mine!" hee hee. So she is also part of the bond for this next one. Thank you for the congrats!

Hi, Buchi_bulla.
It's so exciting to enter the motherhood. During the labour, my hubby was beside me all the time. Without saying anything, he was there to see the born of baby. We were both very happy and welcome our little one to our life. It's a wonderful experience , especially i can share this together with my hubby. He was there to support me, he hold my hand when all the time. I was not afraid of the labour also because of he was there for me.
Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

I appreciate men a lot who stay with wife at the time of child birth. Though they cannot share the pain, their presence, moral support and the concern in particular for the wife and the child is much more than all the medicines that will easen the delivery.

in my case, my husband got to see the baby first. i was still in the delivery room and when the baby was all cleaned up, the nurse called him and my mom to see the baby. he had video and digital cameras with him but when he saw the baby, he cried with joy that he completely forgot to take pictures or video. i was unconscious for a few hours and got to see the baby the day after.

I feel you were not able to see the moment for yourself, but he must have explained how he felt and also your mother should have told how he felt and what he told on seeing the bundle of joy for the first time. I am sure he must have felt on the top of the world to hold his own blood, the love of him and his spouse, in the hands.

My husband has taken leave ont he day of my delivery though he had some urgent work at office. He was trying to listen through the small window of the labour ward and tried to figure out what was happening inside when I was in the labour ward.After the baby was born, he was very happy.Please share your experiences as well.

Since I did not have mother, my husband did not send me for delivery to my father's place and said he will only take care of me. That itself was giving me immense pleasure to know how much he cares for me. When pain started, I called him up and he came running immediately from the office. There was no power in the nursing home and he got scared. Fortunately power came and my son was born. He saw the baby's face from the room entrance and felt some sort of current going through him to see his son, being washed by the nurse and crying and looking at him. I was unconscious. Later he told me that. When I opened my eyes my child was looking at me. We fight that the child looked at him first, at me first though there is no meaning for the fight and only sharing of joy in one way.

Love between husband and wife is two sides. But childbirth has three sided love and affection. Mother, father and the gift of their love, a beautiful tender child. When he looks at you, you feel you yourself are looking at your own self. When we hug our child, a pleasant feeling will run inside your body, which says silently, this is your child, your blood, your and your spouse's love gift. It is amazing.
