Motherhood

[Katzpur]

My pregnancies were wonderful. I never felt so healthy, energetic and alive. I never had nausea, bloating, back aches, anything. I craved salads and baked potatoes...healthy foods. I was so healthy and happy...more so than any other time in my life. Aside from the babies occasionally using my bladder as a pillow I never really had any discomfort at all. The feeling of that little baby moving around inside of you is just like nothing else you will ever experience.

I hear you! I absolutely loved being pregnant. Both times I got quite seriously ill towards the end of my pregnancies (toxemia), but everything worked out just fine. I felt great up until then. I'd always heard stories about how the new mother says to her husband after the delivery, stuff like, "Look what you put me through!!!!" The morning after my son was born, the first thing I said to my husband when he walked through the door into my hospital room was, "That was incredible. I want to do it again!"

Sounds like a ride at Disneyland.

My mom was in labor with me for 30-something hours. I don't think she wanted to do it again right away.

Take my word for it, becky, the poopy diapers and throw-up are nothing. The sass talk hurts, but the children going astray is the absolute worst.

I know, I've seen in my family and in my in-laws family. I see how bad it can be and how hurt the person is. I don't care though, I still want children.

You forget all about the pain after that child is placed in your arms. I mean yes, you remember that there was pain, but in comparison to what you have now...it doesn't even matter at all. It is but a memory.

I've mostly forgotten the pain associated with my surgery, but that doesn't mean I'd want to go through it again. :areyoucra I just don't get you motherly types

Yeah. Me either!

You don't get a living, breathing, bundle of baby...your eyes looking back at you, for you to raise and love for the rest of your life after a surgery.

My mom did ('cause I was born C-Section. ).

Thank goodness! I remember both of my sisters being brought home from the hospital, and I also remember my mother not getting a decent night's sleep for two years. I like my sleep too much!

im with draka on the birth tip. i gotta say, the three most important, most memorible days of my life were when my babies were born. i couldn't tell you excatly how painful an experience it was, but the pain and strech marks were well worth it. me, i fell head over heels in love with my babies when i was pregnant with them and just could not wait to finally meet them. the whole experience was something i will never forget.

but jensa, pregnancy and labor is the easy part, when you get them home, then comes the real drama. some days, they just make you so proud and some days are so stressful you just would like to smash their heads in.

for me, i just love being a mom and having the oppurtuntiy to be home with them. i got all the fun ages too. 14 boy, 2 girl, 13mon. boy

It's been seven years since my last baby was born and I still miss the feeling of him kicking inside me. Every time I get gas it reminds me of that and I miss it all over again. :biglaugh:

Oh great! Now I want another one!
