What happened after you delivered your first baby ? How did it feel ? My sis (22) has a baby & I'm 27. I never thought that I was ever gonna have a baby. I wanna hear/read your stories bout after delivery so that I can look forward to those things too ! :) Thanx !

ALSO, is it true that if the older baby bends down & looks under their legs that a boy is gonna be born ? My niece Lexus (a yr old on Feb 28th) looked under her legs & so did my cuz's baby (who has a 2 yr old, well, on da 7th) & SHE looked under her legs too & ended up having a baby bro. I know it's prob just a myth but how many of you could just "tell" that you were gonna have a boy or a girl ? I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna have a boy... (not sure why tho... can just feel it) I'm hoping for a baby girl tho :D I just wanna know how likely it is that my bf will get his wish for his son "Preston" lol.

Well...... Its really hard to say it in words. I came in from labor room and they gave me my baby to be breastfed. She didn't take it since she was already full from the bottle they had given her. Anyway they lay her down in her cot beside my bed and told me to feed her when she came awake. It was around 12:00am then and when they came in at 3:00 am to check in I was still staring at her. Every single second felt like a treasure. I loved every sight of her. And I didn't sleep a second from 12:00 to 3:00 just because I didn't want to miss seeing her. At 3 the nurse came and took her away shouting at me that I needed sleep after a 12 hour labor but I didn't want to. So you can understand how I felt. I forgot all the pain and all the trouble I had to go through in flash of seconds (I had fertility problems and it took me 4 years to concieve) And still every single day brings in something new. I love every second that I am with her. And I would love to do it again after some time. I really knew that people love their children but love can be so intense. I didn't know that..... I understood what love means after ym baby. Of course I love my hubby but love for a child is greater than love for anyone. I don't know how my daughter will be after she's big but I know that my love for her will never ever become less. Well this was the good part of having a baby. There have been some hard times too. like issues of breastfeeding and her loosing weight and my milk not being enough for her. And when she got sick. But the good part is so good that the bad part doesn't really matter. Its been a little more than 6 months and I've seen so much with her. I began to respect my parents even more after becoming a parent. I wonder sometimes how I could be so rude to my mother who did all this for me. I love her even more now.
Well as for the myth I don't think it's true. Its funny too. But I'll keep it in mind just for the sake of fun.

I will not lie there is pain involved and you will have a flabby pooch for a whils and hopefully you won't get really emotional it gets in the way .I had my first one with NO pain medicine and it was'nt that bad you easily forget the pain after it's all over with the joy blocks it .I hope you don't have a doctor that will let you lay around in labor for 2 or3 days I like women doctors who have given birth they know I really can't understand how a man doctor can sit there and say "I know it hurts" he don't know squat he's never even birthed a gerbil so he don't know .It's the greatest time of your life even though you are gaining weight and you have to wear those small tents for shirts.While you are stillin the hospital the nurses come in like 15 times the first several hours after normal delivery and mash you guts out (it feels like it ) to get all the left over stuff out whatever is in there cause when you are pushing you feel like you have pushed out everything from down ther up to your belly button .Then come the joy of going home and that's when the fun really starts.Go ahead and stay healthy and get all the sleep you can get cause those days are over until you leave this earth,My daughter is 19 and I don't sleep until she's home and ther is ALWAYS something to worry about but I would not trade all of it for the world on a 24 karat platter it's the greatest gift God can give a woman.Good luck and I know you will come through it like a champ. It's not that bad or no woman would ever have a second child if it was think about it like that.Congradulations!

When my son was born my immediate thought was, "that was the coolest thing I've ever done." It hurt, but not that bad, not like movies and such make you think. I didn't even need drugs, it was all natural and we progressed quickly. Piece of cake, really. We were built to do it, so never be afraid. I also recommend not finding out the sex of your baby ahead of time. There's nothing like hearing your husband say "It's a_____!" in the delivery room. It's the ulitmate rush. And the love you feel is aching and all consuming. My baby is hands down the love of my life and everything else takes second fiddle. Just the way it is.

I used to sing in a band before but had to stop when I got pregnant. I told my manager that I would go back to singing after my delivery but everything changed when I saw my daughter. I did not go back to singing and turned down a job at a hotel in Bali, Indonesia because I could not leave my baby. I was overwhelmed when I saw her, I forgot myself and all my attention was focused on her. I was the happiest woman on earth when I saw her.It made me feel I am really a woman, capable of carrying a life inside me and it made me feel complete. It was the most wonderful feeling; becoming a mother! And regarding the reflexes you mentioned, I guess those are just normal among infants. My nephew did the same but he's got a baby sister, my niece did the same but still she's got a baby sister.

i was going to answer your Q b4 but my story is what all mothers fear.You answered my Q about my son sweating so I will tell yo my story but please do not let it scare you.
My son was born by emerge c-cection(he was coming out sideways)after he was born and they wrapped him up and let me hold him it felt very surreal!Like I had watched too many baby stories on the learning channel!!I only had him for 5 minutes for pictures then they took him away while they closed me up and I spent the next 2 hours in recovery by myself!!!Once they took me upstairs I had him for about half an hour,breast fed him and then they said they were going to keep him in the nursery for the night because he had a fever,I was so full of morphine and who knows what and was so out of it I was like ok!That was at about 11 pm and at 2 am I had a pediatritian wake me up and tell me my son had a heart murmer and they had called for the life flight helicopter and they were flying him to childrens hospital right away!!My whole body started to shake and I could not stop!I was not able to go after having surgery so my husband went with him.I was not able to leave the hospital where I gave birth till 5 pm the next day and my new baby was an hour away all by himself with no mom!!I was just bloody sick to my stomach!!I stayed at home that night on got to childrens hospital the sunday morning at 6 am before his first heart surgery,if they would not have caught it at birth he would have died on me in a few days.He is 5 and half months old now and has had 2 surgerys by the time he was 3 months.He goes for his "repair" between the age of 8 and 12 months,that is when they replace the pulmimary valve which did not grow.Pulminary Atresia with vsd is what he has.Soo,my story is not the norm,some people think oh my god how horrible is that,but you know,its not that bad,the surgerys are scarey but with technology these days,he will lead a wonderful normal life with a few heart surgerys every few years.Pearce(my son) is the most amazing gift i have ever recieved in my hole life!!!Dont let this worry you,you will be just fine!!Congratulations!!

After I deliveredy my baby is was amazing, thrilling, exhilirating, and then terrifying. My doctor was wonderful and my baby was on my chest breastfeeding immediately. It was so amazing. I couldn't believe she was actually there. My husband and I have never been closer and more in love.
The first few weeks were emotional, difficult, and confusing. I over thought everything. But things have a way of smoothing themselves out and becoming routine, fun, and fantastic.
CongratulationS!
