Happiness is a new mother

Hi, Iam the only child and at the age of 25 I gave birth to a healthy and cute baby girl.She is now 2 years old.Imagine the day she was born, everybody in the family was so excited and happy.I even cried the moment the doctor lifted her up and and showed her to me,it was so fulfilling as a woman.To think on my 7th month of pregnancy till I gave birth my husband and I are not in good turns but after the baby was born we were united again and became a happy family.Everything has change into ourlives.Our baby was the reason why we stay in love and happy and we wish to live together forever.

I was terrified being a new mom. My daughter was born at 29 weeks and I just didn't know what to expect. I saw her for just a second when she was born and then she was rushed to the NICU. By time I saw her a few hours later she was hooked up to many machines and was being helped to breath. I was just didn't know how to feel. The next morning before they released me I went down to see her by myself and then I knew I would do anything for this little girl and we would fight together. Well three months later she came home and that was scary too as now I had no nurses on hand all the time to help me and answer my questions, but I was so happy to have her home. She is just fine now she is 3 and too smart for my own good that is for sure, being a preemie didn't slow her down much at all. I really do feel very lucky every day to have her and be able to stay home with her and watch her grow. I have a home daycare so that I can do this. She is the joy of my life. Even when she is trying my patience I still am happy that she is such a fighter as it really helped her. The doctor did warn me of PND as it is more common in preemie moms due to the added stress. I was to busy making sure she was ok I think to be depressed and I knew that she needed me and I had to keep going. So I guess I had some mixed emotions but for the most part I just felt complete to be a mom and have her in my life.

I love your avatar is that the new baby you are speaking of? Your daughter is not only beautiful but looks radiant! I can see the happiness on her face. I am so glad that she is so happy after just having a baby. Thats the way it should be. When my daughter was born I wanted to feel like estatic but I just felt nothing. I didnt feel like she was even mine. I knew she was mine because I gave birth to her but I just felt like I was babysitting or something it was weird. I wasent like sad or anything it was just like a lack of emotion. I held her constantly and nursed her and never let my weird feelings get in the way of taking the best care of my baby that was possible. It took until she started smiling before the extreme love for her kicked in. I wish it was there from the beginning. With my son as soon as he was born I had the amazing feelings. They say if people are going to have post partum depression its usually after having baby girls because of the babies and mothers hormones going crazy where as with a boy in the belly it doesnt have all the extra hormones racing around making everything crazy.

Your daughter looks so happy. I too was very happy after the birth of all three of my children, no postpartem depression for me either. Of course I didn't look at good as your daughter. All three of my kids seemed to sleep all day long and be up partying all night long...LOL I looked exhausted for at least 6 months.

She does look happy! What a cute baby too! I was ecstastic..and very possessive LOL-no one was getting near my baby!

Stephanie sure does look happy. I wish them all the best.

I am two weeks away before I deliver our first baby. Right now I am so excited and worried at the same time. I hope everything will be fine when she comes. I hope I will not have a hard time during my delivery. One thing is for sure though, I will be very happy and fulfilled the moment I see her, the moment I hear her first cry. I can't wait to hug her.

HI, After giving birth to my son, I do feel bit stress up and my life was totally changed, I have sleepless night for the first few months and have to learn lot of things in taking care my son. I was lucky to have my mother in law as my confinement lady. She was helping me for the first month and I learnt alot from her. I learnt how to bath my son,change diapers,hug him,nurse him,etc. I am totally a new mother and have no experience in handling baby. With the arrival of my son, our living expenses was shoot up. Have more expenses every month,but it is worthy to spent.

RIght after i gave birth i experienced post partum blues, were a mother who recently gave birth felt nagry towards her child because of the pain during lbor and anxiety because of the new responsibility. During that time, i felt that I wont be a good mom and I was so depressed because i felt that the child ruins my entire life. But that is very normal, after 7 days I came back to my normal behavior and tahnk god very much for the blessings that he gave me. I love my baby very much and i will do everything for her. i am so blessed and very happy for having a child, my post partum blues are just a nightmare for me.

I am pleased for you and your daughter. Giving birth to a child is such a lovely experience it cannot be fully described well enough. It is a pity that some mums have to go through post natal depression. I know of a person who suffered from this, and as a conseqeuence the dad and the child suffer too. But it is not seomthing which is brought up willingly but naturally, although i do believe that stress and the character of the mum plays a role. Thank God i did not go through such an experience.

Congratulations to your daughter and her husband!!! Baby is the most wonderful gift that every woman can have. Its my ultimate dream. to be a mum. To feel my baby moving in my stomach. Some say its hard and sort of painful especially in giving birth but I believe that once you see your baby, no painful thoughts can stop you from feeling the most happiest woman in the world. My boyfriend and I wanted to have a baby too but we know its not yet the right time. We want to take things easy and start things in a right way. I'm so happy every time I read an article or news about a baby and its proud parents. I wish I'll be a mum soon.. :-)

ofcourse mother to be very happy to see own child

I can't wait until I find my awesome wife to settle down with to have my first child

I struggled somewhat in the beginning but not to the extent some women due. I think most women to some extent have problems just because of the hormones we still have going through us. I was very happy and loved my daughter more than I knew possible but honestly sleep deprivation makes things very tough in the beginning. I would say I am more euphoric now and enjoying her more at 7 months than those first 8 weeks. She is still a tough sleeper but she is slowly getting better and so much fun to play with and be around!!!

for a reason, if you will look at the picture of this baby she is so pretty and for sure the parents will be happy,seem with me i was so happy to see my first baby it was euphoria
