[ebtg]

I don't have a kid but congratulations with the one you're about to have. I hope she turns out to be what you wanted her to be.

[Anali]

Are you asking what it feels like to give birth, or what it feels like to be a parent?

Giving Birth: Aimed for Lamaze, succumbed to anesthsia.

Parenting: When you look at your kid you realize how much your parents love you pala.

[roadrage23]

My wife and I felt so blessed when our daughter was born. I'm quite sure you'd feel the same way as well. Congratulations! :)

congrats!!!!
I just gave birth last Sept, in CA too, grabe although ang sakit ha! (I had CS) pero when I see my baby, as in wala lahat,and parang nadagdagan pa yung strength ko,as in parang I would say "It's worth the wait and all those pre-natal things " (morning sickness,loss of appetite,etc.etc.)
But beware for your Post-partum deppression,I'm not sure on your case, pero on my case and kapag naiisip ko nga eh kinikilabutan ako, can you imagine I feel so insecure, I lost my self-confidence,and minsan naiisip kong iwan yung baby ko sa labas ng bahay or iwan siya sa front door ng iba (grabe 'no)weird talaga,so be sure that your partner is always there to support you during those period,kaya nga ngayon just to erased all those stupidity I always say iloveyou to him,but then you won't regret having a baby.....*okay*
Ano nga pala ang name ng baby nyo :?:

[season]

It was the most wonderful thing in the entire world. I labored for two and a half hours, gave birth the Bradley way, no medicine and anesthesia. :heartbeat:

[sagan]

Happy, grateful and relieved, in a sense that our son was born in perfect health and that the nine months of check-ups, testing for all kinds of possible complications, wondering if anything that can go wrong might go wrong didn't happen. We did experience love at first sight with our son. Actually my husband was in tears (he was my labor coach partner) afterwards. It's hard to describe all the emotions that you can go through - no anaesthesia for me either, just my husband beside me holding my hand, coaching me.
Congratulations! Hope everything's going well.

labor was a breeze. mas mahirap ma-constipate for me (when you're pregnant you're constipated). i felt weird kasi wala nang sumisipa sakin from inside. and parang ang singkit and ang pula nya. i don't think i fell in love with my son the first time i saw him. i was just amazed and awestruck. and relieved that all his fingers were complete. it took me a while to get used to it. the first time i felt i was a real mom was when we were watching tv and he was just sitting on my lap. it just felt right. and i love watching him sleep. and ang sarap ng feeling when you come home from school and he's playing with his grandparents tapos nakita ka nya sasama na kaagad sa'yo.
i was a bad kid, i admit, but when i had my son naintindihan ko na sila mommy. now i'm the one who tells my siblings to watch it, do your homework, don't stay out too late, etc. i know how it feels to want to buy all the things your kid needs (and wants) and i know how much it hurts not to have money to buy them for him kaya i tell my brothers and sister na mag-ipon instead of magpabili ng kung anu-ano. i help out at home. basta, feeling ko tumatanda na 'ko.
re post-partum depression. i also had that. nagselos ako sa ex ng asawa ko. the ex he broke up with years ago. i got over it when my son was four months old. he's turning 1 on the 24th. congrats on your baby girl!! may name ka na? i'm pregnant again and giving birth to our baby girl (pareho tayo heheh) the first wk of june pero wala parin kaming name.
kung bibili ka nung first baby picture don't get the big package. kasi sayang kung hindi mo mapamigay lahat ng wallet size pics. tapos papa-studio mo pa sya, yung free sitting sa bahay nyo. baratin mo!! 'wag kang papahalatang bibili ka at first para babaan nila yung price. :D
gosh, i got carried away. :bungi:

Nabiktima tayo ni Anaphoenix,late na ng mapansin kong two yrs ago pa pala tong thread na 'to,but anyway,we can relate,kasi my son is only 5 months,mag-sisix siya this May,I think I better asked you some questions if I have any, regarding my baby since your's is mag-one year na.Pareho tayo,I checked agad kung ilan ang daliri ng baby ko or if there's any irregularities on his physical appearance,I'm glad he's so Perfect (of course to mommy)

season tapang mo,ako 4 cm pa lang,humihingi na ng ephidoral.Kaya na-CS ng di oras!

[JoYcE`TiK]

sweet_peas: 6 mos na sya? that's the time na nag-start ako matuwa sa baby ko!! :D kaso hanggang ngayon tamad parin, ayaw mag-close open and clap.. marunong naman, ayaw lang sumunod samin!! pero gusto naman nya mag-dance and mag-beautiful eyes. enjoy!!
ganun ba talaga 'pag 4 cm epidural? nagpunta ako ng hospital 5 cm na 'ko tapos nakatulog pa 'ko mga 7 cm.. wala rin akong anesthesia ekek. late na daw eh :bungi:

[Sweet_Peas]

:spinhalo:
JoYcE'Tik ,yap,turning 6 months this coming Mar 27(sorry,not May),actually ang alam pa lang ng baby ko eh, dumapa mag-isa tapos sumigaw ng sumigaw,yung iba-ibang tono,like minsan parang nag-ga-gurgle siya,yeah,I must admit,this is the stage that I feel so happy with my baby,you know,unlike his first 2 months na as in talagang beybing baby pa siya na so fragile,pero ngayon nakakatuwa na.Lalo na sobrang lakas humalakhak,basta nakakaaliw!,and then sometimes,he want to sit down,yung ginagawa niya,he lift his head and feet up together,tapos pag napagod iiyak na,kasi nga hindi siya makaupo,minsan naman yung tummy niya ang tinataas,natatawa nga ako eh.
papano naman,naawa na rin sa akin yung nurse dahil iyak ako ng iyak sa sakit buti na nga lang Filipina eh, tahimik pa mandin ako,from 3am ng Sept 26, nanganak ako 2am na ng 27,Grabe,I can't imagine kung ano ang feeling ng walang anesthesia,bilib ako sa iyo!
Punta ka na lang sa THREAD (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=85336&pagenumber=3) ,dito tayo magtsikahan ever,para naman me nakakarelate sa akin. I tell you how I give birth.

wow...CONGRATS....may the Good Lord Bless and Keep your family in HIS care...always :)

anyway.....i haven't given birth yet.....but i'd still like to share this...

i grew up being told that my Dad literally jumped and cried over me when i was born.....and all my life, God reminds me just how much my Dad is still jumping and crying over me...his firstborn...

and all my life too, i've been looking for a man who i know will also jump and cry over the birth of his kids.....

i don't want a man holding a camera.....or a videocam....i just want him excited and praying and crying and loving me....

[avonlea]

my husband said he never liked kids but our son is an exception... he didn't even like his nephews and nieces so life/mind changing talaga pag meron ka ng sarili mo...

sa 'kin naman... it was all so surreal at first... and then of course, i felt blessed and lucky... because i have a friend whose only wish in life now is to have a baby but after seven years of marriage, she's (they) still childless

[tina11]

^That's true, you'll feel differently about children once you've had your own!

I think any woman who has given birth will say that it is one of the defining moments of her life. One minute you're a couple (husband and wife), the next, you're a family :)

Afer giving birth, I was immensely proud of what my body had done. I didn't care anymore about my waistline or stretch marks (ok, maybe I still cared a little bit) :p because I knew that none of that mattered, when I had accomplished the amazing task of bringing new life into the world. But at the same time, having a baby is so humbling, especially when your baby grabs your finger with her soft, tiny hand or rewards you with a breath-taking smile. Even if you don't believe in God, you'll believe in miracles and will feel that you're not worthy to be this blessed.

[backspace1979]

me i am wondering if i am his genetic father hahaha.. LOL. but week later he looks like my old photos when i was baby too.. hehehe.

[adam_sandler]

parang tumama sa lotto.

parang nasa alapaap.

felt very blessed...

[AE ng Bayan]

when i first saw my baby in the nursery last february 1, my older brother asked me kung di ba daw ako naiiyak. honestly, it was a really different feeling. parang it's a start of a new life not only for my baby, but for me as well.. yung feeling na proud na proud ka, and at the same time, the feeling that you have to step up.. hayy :)

[Gamboa11]

Congrats sa mga magiging bagong Moms and Dads!! Having your first child is an awesome feeling!!

It's unlike any kind of happiness you've felt before. Pero at the same time, there is fear and pressure. Kasi, you will now be responsible for a LIFE.. It's a daunting task, no doubt. But having family and friends around, is a big help.

I never could imagine myself as a Dad, pero now that I am, I feel so blessed to be one. I'm a father of a wonderful 1 yr old baby girl and I feel complete now.

:)

nung naglilihi pa lang ako sa baby ko sobrang nahirapan ako na dumating sa punto na parang naisip ko na ano kaya ilaglag ko nalang to para tapos na tong paghihirap ko..kasi di talaga ako makabangon sa higaan,dun ako kumakain,sa ilalim ng kama andun lang yung arinola dun ako iihi,di kasi ako makatayo dahil nahihilo ako,tuwing umaga masakit sa tiyan dahil sa pagsuka,kung anu anong mabahong naamoy walang ganang kumain..4 months akong ganun,di ako kumakain ng kanin dahil ayoko ng lasa ng kanin..yung mga ganung eksena ng paglilihi..buti nalang very supportive yung asawa ko lahat ng kailangan at hingin ko binibigay niya..lagi nya akong pinapatawa..tapos nung kabuwanan ko na..ayaw naman magbukas ng cervix ko..torture talaga sakin yung maglakad sa umaga at hapon na may dala sa tiyan ko 70kilos ako nun..pero ayaw pa rin talaga magbukas ng cervix ko 40 weeks na ako di pa din ako nanganganak kaya araw araw tuwing umaga nasa ospital kami para sa daily cervical (nakalimutan ko na tawag dun)..basta araw araw ako iniIE,hanggang saturday nag 1cm ako..tinanggihan kami sa ospital na araw araw namin pinupuntahan dahil puno ang nursery nila,so balik kami antipolo (nasa pasig kami nun) nung araw din na yun dahil kailangan ko na dapat talagang iadmit dahil kailangan ko iinduce dahil magooverdue na si baby at baka makadumi sa loob..sunday nasa lying in na ako..monday pa ako nanganak..sa lahat ng pagod,hirap at sakit..lahat yun mawawala pag lumabas yung anak mo at nakita mo siya..7months na ngayon yung baby ko at sa tuwing makikita ko siya sobrang nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos at binigay siya sa amin.Sobrang nakakatuwa dahil makikita mo yung isang buhay na galing sa loob ng katawan mo na iningatan at inalagaan mo sa tiyan mo ng 9 na buwan..sobrang saya talaga......

[kim G]

first time i saw my baby,i realize that i can love someone so intense,so pure, unconditional and without a question and doubt.

[hanako91]

As the saying goes, children makes us immortal. We get to continue our life with our children. But me, I have no child, too young to have one. But my sister, have a child, at hindi siya happy at first, kasi she got pregnant at 22, di pa siya graduate ng college and the guy is irresponsible.

[soundwave1979]

noong lumabas siya, ako ang kaunaunahang naramdaman niya. ako tumulong sa pagpanganak sa asawa ko. noong nakauwi na kami, saka ko naramdaman ko ano talaga ang totoong ibig sabihin ng magmahal. lalo pa noong itaas niya ang kanyang ulo at tingnan niya ang mga mata ko. kangaroo, skin-to-skin is something both parent and child enjoys. haaaaay.

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

nung delayed ako, binibiro ko yung asawa ko, uy buntis na ata ako eh... but when i saw the actual positive result ng pregnancy test kit -was speechless at shocked... reality sets in, at naisip ko..... am i ready to be a mom? are we (me & hubby ) ready to be parents?...
anyway, when i fist saw my baby, naiyak ako.. at yun, so attached talaga.. up to now she's already almost 4 :)

[matits]

wala akong na feel. d pa ako ready kasi, bit it gets better everyday. you kearn to love him more n more

[Krixian]

Best moment.....

[deaditeazkikr]

parang tumama sa lotto.

parang nasa alapaap.

felt very blessed...

this PLUS the all the good but indescribable feelings i'm sure we all had.. from the moment i saw my child, first time i carry him (i'm overly cautious from holding other person's babies na baka mabitawan ko) but when i hold my child it's like all my muscles flex to hold him almost instinctively! grabe ang heart and body coordination ko mula nun! :lol:

i also remember my mom-in-law cautioning me on kissing my child on his cheeks kasi to avoid rashes dapat daw sa paa lang pero talagang ayaw ko papigil.. i love to hold and kiss him to sleep specially on top of his head while holding him. and this i say he still remember up to now.. am here away from them for almost two years and everytime i call them, i would tell my wife to kiss his head for me, he would blurt out "para kang si papa" btw, he's almost 6 y.o. now..;)

[DELISYUS]

elated and scared :D

always, there is that wondering if we're doing the right thing... and then the baby/child does something to assure us we are :)
