Did you cry at the birth of your baby?

[Lulu_Laroo]

I always thought I would be a huge emotional wreck at the birth of my baby. I always cried my eyes out at One Born Every Minute and all the baby programmes. So I was really surprised at myself when I didn't cry when Poppy was born. I think it was a mixture of shock, and possibly being so drugged up, perhaps? I felt overwhelming happiness and couldn't stop smiling, but I didn't cry at all. I often look at her now when she's sleeping and shed a tear over how much I love her, so I'm still wondering why I didn't cry at her birth!
So I'm wondering, did you cry at the birth of your baby?

I didn't cry at Paiges birth but tbh, it was all such a shock Im not surprised. I was falling asleep on the table tbh and they had to wake me up to tell me she had been born lol. Not surprised I didn't cry really!

I didnt, it was a mixture of shock and happiness, I kept staring at him but didnt cry

I didn't either.

Felt over-whelmed with love in the days/weeks after & had a wee cry then but not at the birth. I presumed i'd be over-whelmed with love straight away, like i'd heard, but it built up more gradually for me.

Nope, I didn't cry either, I just remember thinking shit, I've had a baby! Looking back, I really didn't connect being pregnant and actually having a baby as a result until he was born it wasn't until we got home that I felt an overwhelming feeling of love and happiness - then I cried buckets lol, and still do! All he has to do is look at me in a certain way and I melt lol

I didn't cry at the birth but OH did bless him! once we were home i cried everytime i looked at her & still do sometimes! x

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I didn't cry with either. I just wanted a cup of tea after having charley lol and I was in too much shock after having lacey

 

[isobel84]

i didnt cry, i was screaming for my gas and air, i didnt even want to hold him. Not really what u think it will be like

I didn't cry at any of mine I really thought I would as I cry at everything but I just felt soooooo happy crying didn't come close.
I went to my sisters birth a few wks ago and cried my eyes out as soon as he was born so did her o/h but my sister never, they say it's the big natural high you will Eva have in life so maybe that's why you dont cry xxxx

i didn't cry either! OH did and the next day he was all like "how come i was the only one crying, that's so not manly!" i've shed plenty of tears since though, all i need is a smile and i well up! xxx

 

[KellyHook]

I didnt cry at either of mine...

I did cry, but I had been crying for hours because Oscars birth was horrific, for him and me. But when he was pulled out of me and he cried, I cried with relief then and when he was placed infront of me by my OH I cried tears of the most pure happiness.

 

[Roo3]

I didn't cry. My labour was so horrific that OH and I were just relieved it was over and LO was ok. I well up now though when I look at his little face!

 

[Yodabo]

I didn't cry with any of mine either. I think its shock thats there's an actual baby that came out of you then your in awe looking at him/her all over. I was surprised with Drake, i couldn't get over him being so dark! Especially as my oldest and my middle boy were born so fair!

Awwwww gutted i'll never get to experience it again, that moment is so so magical x

 

[Franna75]

Sort of - i was too tired to cry so I just pulled this sad face - here it is for everyone's amusement! Apologies if it comes out HUGE - im not good at uploading.

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

Awwwww haha!!! You look like "Hmmm, this isn't what I expected. Can I return it for an exchange or refund?"

Hehehe xx

 

[Franna75]

I know! My Mum was shouting, he's here, Thomas is here and I just couldn't make my face do anything! Needless to say, i won't be showing him that one when he grows up...

 

[Emmamb]

I didn't cry at any of my 4 births-the 1st I was too drugged up and just wanted to sleep,the 2nd the cord was round his neck so was a bit of a panic and he had to have oxygen,the 3rd was an emergency c section and the 4th...well I was just so relieved that it was over tbh xx

 

[Elfs Mummy]

Nope I was to worried they just said babys here and I didn't see her for ages so was so worried eventually when they bought her to see me I just couldn't believe she was here I sometimes cry now when I look at her or when she's in pain xx
