Anyone else feel empowered?

We made a person! Like one that will have independent thoughts and make a difference in the world. I don't know why, but I feel very powerful.
"I make people. What do you do?"
Good job, ladies!?

Lol...yes.
I was just thinking today how much I miss being pregnant. That was the coolest thing I've ever done.
Very well said!
I do feel empowered!
About 5 minutes after giving birth, the nurse, who was also my prenatal class instructor, asked me how I felt. I said "That was the coolest thing I've ever done!". (she liked that!).
YAY US!
I feel very empowered that I created this beautiful human being and I feel VERY empowered from my birth experience and all the hard work I did during labor and delivery.
Nothing felt better than when I was holding my daughter on my chest and my H was crying and telling me how proud he was as he was kissing me and looking at DD. That is my single most precious memory from her delivery.
We are pretty freakin' awesome ;-).
Definitely!! I think giving birth was absolutely the best thing I've EVER done.
I'm scared shiitless about a lot of things now though... am I doing everything or even anything right?

I would like to say so..
..but I don't. I mostly just feel sore, and cranky, and a little strange.
I make them and then they become unmade in my womb.
Tell you what. You're cool. You've got a newborn! You're sleep deprived. But you are also deeply, unbelievably, astoundingly lucky, not empowered.
I am currently respirating. And I feel blessed, not empowered. Because I recognize that other people are not that lucky.
