Both, its the beginning of a whole new life! I just cut some things out and enjoyed watching my little ones grow. There really is nothing like it!

not the beginning, but a total change in who i was. I then became 'Vivian's mom"
At school that's even what they CALL me... not Mrs. SO n so (last name withheld for security purposes), they say Hello Vivian's mom!.
I know some women that give the kid straight over to a family member the second they get out of the hospital so they can head straight to the bar.
Every woman is different.

It is the end of life as you now know it. But it is the beginning of a new and wonderful stage in your life. You will no longer be able to run out the door at a moments notice. You will have to make sure the babies diaper is clean and dry and that you have a diaper bag packed. You will have to change some of the places you eat dinner or maybe find a sitter. But you will laugh all the time. You will see things in a whole new light. My daughter was scolding my 2 year old granddaughter this morning as she was dropping her off. In the middle of the scolding my granddaughter said to her mommy,"you are pretty mommy". That was the end of that scolding.
Christmas will be so much more fun and birthdays and Mother's day. It's a whole new ball game and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Even though I am raising 2 out of 6 grandchildren, they bring me great joy.

In my opinon having my daughter was the best thing that ever happend to me and the beginning of my life. I take as if u see having a baby being the end of ur life, u need to talk to some1 about those feelings and possibly get some help. I live and breath for my daughter i work just to be able to by her the best baby things she can have.

Having a baby is a big part of your life. It neither the beginning nor the end. Its the start of a new stage in your life. To say it was the beginning would be to say we have died and started again. This stage of your life is wonderful. i remember when i had my first child three years ago. I was scared but as soon as i held him for the first time i knew that my life had changed for the better and i was on a journey with this young soul for the rest of my life. LIfe is funny that way. There is only one beginning for us and one end. But many twist and turns ups and downs along the way. Good luck to you and heres to the journey you are on.

I believe having a baby is the beginning of your life. Life as you new it is gone (not nessissarily in a bad way). After you have a baby its hard to think how you functioned w/o him/her. I have 2 daughters ages 3 and 10 months and i cant think of a time where i was even half as happy as i am now.

I have an 18 month old daughter. She is my absolute everything!
The day I looked down at her and realized that I love her more than ANYTHING else in the world was the best day of my life. There is no love that is stronger than the love I have for her. She is the best thing that has happened to me and I wouldn't trade the experience of being her mom for anything in the world.
Some days are challenging, sure. But look at what I get in return!

I have 3 children and 1 on the way. When I had my first I was nervous that things would be totally different. And guess what... I was right. They are different. But in a great way. Nothing compares to seeing their eyes light up at the first sight of snow. Or when my 1 year old wanted to touch it and when she did she pulled her hand back and tried to get it off. To see these precious little faces looking to you for everything can be a bit overwhelming at times. But the rewards are AWESOME. There isn't enough time or space in this world for me to tell you how WONDERFUL of an experience it is. If you can have children do so... when the time is right. If not then try adoption. There are millions of children out there that don't have someone to enjoy them. Be someone VERY special to someone else.
IF YOU HAVE NEVER KNOWN UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TRY APOLOGIZING TO YOUR CHILD. THE LOOK ON THEIR FACE SAYS "IT IS OK. I LOVE YOU!!"
How amazing!!!

Its the end of and old life (because youll never be able to do what ever you want) and the beginning of a new life. Once you see your kid everything changes. I was like aw CRAP at first but the moment I laid eyes on her it all changed instantly. I honestly wonder why some dads run out on their kids she is the best thing that happened to me!

My brother wasnt the beginning or the end, he was just anotherbig chapter in my life. I am a big sister to 3 boys, and a 'little sister' to 1, we are like sisters so we just call each other 'little sister and big sister.' she is also my youngest brothers 'big sister'. He didnt end my life or begin it. He just put my mind into perspective, the reason I am answering this is because my baby brother is basicalluy my child, my relatives dump him on me so yeah. He just made me think about how hard teen moms have it.
