Yes, and they can be a blessing and a pain rolled into one. They will give you unconditional love, but they can also try your patience until you want to scream. All in all it is the best experience I have ever had, and the biggest blessing I have ever been given.

I am 45, have 3 wonderful grown children 28, 23, 21, as well as a 9 yr old granddaughter & another on the way! Motherhood is definitely very rewarding, yet has its challenges too. I don't regret a moment of mine, however, it isn't for everyone. There's definitely a lot of factors to consider before bringing a child into this wonderfully crazy world.
FOR THOSE CONSIDERING & NOT SURE: Are you committed to raising a child for at least 18 years? How much 'alone' time do you enjoy? Do you have the temperament it takes to raise a child? Are you financially prepared? If you work, will you have a childcare plan? These are only but a few things to consider.

I am a 42 year old man. My 1st wife and I had a girl 20 years ago. In 1991 we suffered from immaturity and got divorced. Since then I have been through many periods of depression and stress due to the divorce. Stil l have not only never regretted the marraige, but I realize with out it mydaughter would not have existed.
Beyond all Hell, my daughter is the one joy in my life. She is more than the best thing, she is where I turn when I wonder if I love anyone or anyone loves me.
Your life is now amplified. Many phases of life will pass, but your daughter will always be the sunshine no matter how dark things may get.

This is a really hard question for me to answer.
I have twins of 2 years and 10 months, and I found raising them to be the most difficult thing I've ever done. I am exhausted, I miss my pre child life and the spontaneous things I used to be able to do. I can honestly say that the first 20 months with them was awful, I was ill, didn't have any family support and felt dreadful.
But, in the last few months things have improved, and I've relaxed a bit and life has improved, and now I am beginning to understand what people mean when they say that their kids are the best thing ever. Last week my little boy said he loved me, and it was the best.
So, yes, they are becoming the best thing ever.

I have 5 children. After the first three I thought I was done. Until we were suprised with identical twin boys. Being a mom has been the hardest job in the world but the pay is GREAT! The kisses and hugs, giggles, the "I love yous", make every little difficulty worth it. Their tiny little toes and the smell of their skin is pure heaven. Words cannot express how wonderful it is being their mom. I am so very lucky, and I hope that everyone gets to have a chance to have at least a 3rd of the happiness I have.

I have to agree with you. I became a first time mum on 29.07.05 and it is the best thing that has happened to me by far.
I love being a mum and just that feeling that I helped to create this small person and responsible for them.
It's their wee smilling face when you go into see them in the morning and the hugs and kisses they give you when you come home from work.
It's such a special feeling that you only get when you become a parent. It's so hard to describe to people who don't have kids as they don't realise how you are feeling.
Congratulations and enjoy your 1st christmas with your daughter.

I have a son who will be 2 in April and yes he is the best thing that ever happened to me. He has made me focus on what needs to be done in life more than the money. He makes me know that everyday is a miracle that he's here. I had a terrible pregnancy and he is now a happy healthy 2 year old.

I have a 2yr old and am 29weeks pregnant with my 2nd daughter. I can't wait to give birth again. My 2yr old has just started telling me she loves me,it's fantastic. Every moment with her is magical. Maybe not the right thing to say but when you tell a man you love them after having a baby and truly knowing what love is, it's weird to say how you feel for your man. Having a baby and looking in there eyes for the first time knowing that you are responsible for them in everyway is amazing. Women moan about having AF every month but being the person who carries and gives birth is the best thing in the whole wide world.xx

Yes for sure. My daughter wasnt planned and i didnt have a maternal bone in my body, i was so nervous as how id be as a mum as i wasnt that keen on children i was more of a career girl(sounds nasty doesnt it?). My girl is now 16 months and its been the best 16 months of my life and im sure i'll have a lifetime of happiness from her - as for my career ive given up work to be a full time mum and am loving every minute of it!!

I think every parent feels this way. Our daughter is 2 and she is amazing. She has her tantrums but I couldn't imagine life without her. The gift of life makes you see things from a totally different perspective. No matter what life holds for me she is the best thing that ever happened to me.

I was 18 when I got pregnant (on birth control). At that point in my life I had been kicked out of my house, reckless, completely immature, and trying to go to an expensive school while paying for everything on my own. The entire pregnancy I was so worried and thought of giving her up for adoption...
Now I have a beautiful, healthy 17 month old and I realize she was a blessing (I am no longer reckless or immature and have a good job thanks to my hard work and her inspiration). I'm glad you realize this, too. Cherish all those little moments when they are young because they really do grow up so quickly (so cliche!).
Good luck in the future to you and your baby girl!
