in November 2024 Babies 🇺🇸

Did you cry when you met your baby?

I didn’t and I feel bad about it. For context im a single mom and was single during the birth (had my mom and sister there tho) and I was full of anxiety and so exhausted (hadn’t slept for over 24+ hours) and all the drugs I had to have made me even more exhausted and tired and felt super weird and in my head. I was so tired from birth and drugs I was really like omg how am I gonna do this?! Maybe I should give my baby up for adoption (I didn’t really want to do this but the thought crossed my mind) and I feel bad and guilty for not crying when I met him. I love him more than anything and I’ve cried about him since in the past 4 months but I feel super guilty about not being more emotional about meeting him. It’s always been my dream to have kids…

My first no i was just happy my second no i had no attachment until he was 2 months old because of post partum

No i didnt. I also felt exhausted and mostly relieved I finally pushed her out😅.

On the drugs with my first i was like we did it smiled then went to sleep delivery is exhausting c section or vaginal your feelings are normal don’t beat yourself up ❤️

Only my 1st

I didn’t! I thought I was suppose to cry but I didn’t. I labored all night and was so tired. I wondered if I should have cried but it’s really not me. It doesn’t mean I love him less or was somehow less excited. It’s overwhelming to have a baby! Give yourself grace.

I didn't. I was honestly just a little overwhelmed.

I absolutely bawled my eyes out. I went thru such a traumatic birth and everything just hit me the second i saw her. Plus she was soooo cute.

I didn't, I had an emergency c-section and was focused on making it through the surgery. Just gave him kisses on his cheek when they brought him over. Whatever your reaction is totally normal!

I didn’t either and I felt bad about it. But I’m not that emotional of a person and it all happened so fast I think I was in shock he was actually here. I stood up from my couch at 5pm and my water broke and he was born at 6:23pm

I didn’t cry and I had a long journey with infertility before I got pregnant with my son. I had a planned section as the little guy was breach and I just remember looking at his little face when they lifted him up over the drapes and thinking “hello do I know you” and “that is the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen” at the same time!

I didn’t. I was so focused all day on getting through the birth and getting this baby here. Once he was out, I just felt calm and still and held him but no tears. I think it was a surreal moment since I always thought it was be tearful.

I didn’t cry over either of my babies but I love them both more than anything! I didn’t even think about it tbh. I think for some people it’s the hormones that cause them to cry and I just didn’t have that reaction. Doesn’t mean i wasn’t overcome by joy or love, I just didn’t cry over it

I didn’t cry… I don’t know who told you we’re supposed to, but that’s not true. There are so many beautiful emotions in that moment, but also a lot to worry about. You love your baby, and you went through so much to bring them into this world. Don’t blame yourself for that ❤️
