Did you cry when your LO was born?

Mrs.Carlybella · October 2009

i am watching a baby story and the woman is sobbing- which I always thought I would, but I didn't.

I cried later, as DH and I stared at him, but in the moment there were not tears of joy, just huge, silly, dopey, overwhelming smiles and disbelief

No, I was just trying to breathe, and then felt relieved when I heard her cry. I had a room full of med students, doctors, etc. so I think I was just trying to recover from all of that.

i did not cry with my first but cried with my second (no drugs with the first)

Dh had a few tears, but I didn't cry.

I was suprised I wasn't a horrible mess.

However, at 5 days pp I cried for 3 hours because I didn't want dd to grow up. Lol.

I didn't cry in the moment. I was so overwhelmed when they handed DD to me. I was trying to wrap my head around it. I laugh at the pic right after they handed her to me, I look like a deer in headlights!

DoubleDiamond · October 2009

I cried a few hours after she was born. It was very peaceful and quiet when she was actually born and I did not cry. Then things got a little BSC. Then when things calmed down and I could really enjoy her w/no one else but DH around, I bawled and bawled and bawled.

And bawled.

I had a c/s, and I cried when I heard her first cry. I barely had any tears though, which was weird.

katypresson · October 2009

Nope. I was so doped up on pain meds (c/s), and so worn out for laboring for the last 28 hours that I was literally falling asleep. I felt like I could finally rest once I saw him and heard his cry. I knew it was over (labor & delivery that is), and I could sleep. I didn't even hold him until a couple hours later, once we were in our room (after laying in recovery for 2 hours).

I didn't sob, but when I first heard DS cry, I cried. So did DH.

MaliaMouse · October 2009

FI and I both had tears in our eyes... but no real crying. I too always thought I would sob but didn't.

Beccaboo0713 · October 2009

I teared up but mainly I had a dear in the head lights look. My mouth literally hung open as I looked at that wet, gooey baby on my chest. Thinking about it makes me teary.

C.Mo · October 2009

I cannot.remember. Holy crap. I'm almost positive I did immediately because I was so relieved labor was over and she was ok. Plus, I was really messed up because giving birth is way more dramatic than I was expecting. I really wasn't prepared as much as I thought I was.

DH was crying a lot though. But mostly because he was happy I was ok. And I have this weird quirk that causes me to cry if I see someone in person crying.

soontobejesseng · October 2009

After DH announced "It's A Girl" and I said "You're sh*tting me", yes, I cried. We both did.

Nicole Williams · October 2009

Nope. I was so freakin exhuasted because I hadn't eaten anything that entire day. I just felt relived from all that pressure! I was in a total daze, plus they took her after just a few minutes to the special care nursery due to some breathing problems. She came 2 1/2 weeks early. When I went in there to visit her I cried.

mel72 · October 2009

Yes!!!

mavilabride · October 2009

No. Baby blues hit me from the moment she was born and I was in a complete fog for about 3 weeks. That's why I wish I would have told FI to take more photos and more video. I cherish the video we do have and when the fog lifted I watched them all and cried happy tears.

Aug Bride · October 2009

Yes. I cried when I heard DS cry for the first time and then when the nurses brought him over to me so I could see him.

babyformeg · October 2009

I had a c/s and sobbed the minute I heard him cry. My H was holding him after he was checked out and the sight of it was overwhelming. The doctor actually asked if I was okay- umm yeah, happiest momnet ever, I am more than okay. I might cry right now thinking about it.

IncubusChic619 · October 2009

I sobbed like a crazy woman. My family & friends could even heard me down the hall in the waiting room haha.

Mike&Care · October 2009

just a little. not sobbing.

thenewmrsrussell · October 2009

Yes. I sobbed.

chickiesha · October 2009

I did cry when they put her on my chest

LaurenNBill · October 2009

After he came out, they showed him to me for about two seconds before I had to be sedated due to complications. Sucked big time.

About three hours later, I finally got to meet him and then I cried uncontrollably. I think partly because I was happy I was alive and partly because of him

cupcake_queen · October 2009

I was totally drugged up with Benydryl and it didn't hit me until later that I finally had a daughter, than I cried.

*Caress* · October 2009

Yes, DH and I both cried.

rebus82 · October 2009

No. I was too damn out of it and feeling sick and cold (c-section) to even appreciate when DH held him up to me. I didn't even really get to look at him until hours later, when I finally woke up for more than a few minutes.?

OMG this was so me! I was really shocked I wasn't a blubbering mess after delivery but man two days later I sobbed for hours because I knew he would never be that small again.

TimsMayBride · October 2009

We both sobbed, which is a little surprising because I am not a crier - didn't cry when I got engaged, or at my wedding, or even when I found out I was pregnant. I think the phyical relief contributed but I just couldn't control it.

ETA: Now when I watch A Baby Story, I get teary when the baby is born. Every. Time. Never used to happen. I remember C's first moment so vividly it's like reliving it in an odd way.
