after all the previous post over mylot about my apprehensions in giving birt and parenthood finally i have given birth lastweek. That makes my baby 1 week old today. I gave birth through Cesarean Section to a 7.12lbs baby boy. Seeing my baby the first time gave me a different kind of feeling something that I couldn't explain of. I think experience every mother has experience this. Though I would have a different if I had a normal delivery but them i am so happy that my baby is healthy.
This is a new chapter of my life. I know parenting is not an easy thing but I want all the best for my baby. Hope I will be a good mom and parent to him.

Congratulations to you on the birth of your baby boy. He was a healthy weight at birth. It is lovely that you are being the best parent you can imagine to your new son. Every new mother wonders how to take care of her baby and it is normal to be nervous about this. By now you have had four weeks of being a parent. So I hope that you are enjoying it and seeing your son grow bigger. I have a baby girl that is one year old, a disabled toddler son that is three years old and a teenage son that is fifteen years old.

Congratulations on the recent arrival of your son. I know that from the moment that my oldest child was placed in my arms, my life really did change in that moment. Since then, and it has been almost eight years since she was born, my life has changed in more ways than I could have imagined in that moment. I think if you are determined to be a good parent, then that is what is going to happen for you. Just remember everyday that you have someone that is counting on you and to do what is best for him in everything that you do.

Congratulations! Welcome to the world of parenting. It's not easy being a mother but like I always say - being a mom has it's ups and downs but the ups far outweigh the downs.

I did have my daughter but nothing was like it was suppost to be. I had her a 29 weeks, she was 3 lbs 2 oz. I couldn't feel my contractions, they couldn't stop my labor and I was scared as hell, not just because I was having a baby but I didn't know if she was going to be ok. I feel kind of robbed, I didn't get to hold my baby I got to see her for about 30 secs until they raced her to the NICU and I still had to wait few days before I got to hold her. I could barely hold her. But she is fine now and a health little girl so I am just thankful for that. I don't think it matters how they get her just that they are healty.

Congratulations to you!!. Though you undergone Cesarean, you should be glad that you're both safe and healthy. My child is 9 months old now but I could still remember the day I gave birth to him. The pain I had during labor was nothing compared to the joy I am experiencing now. It's really not easy to become a parent but its the most fulfilling thing that happened in my life.
God bless and take care of your baby always..
