Over a month old now... I just wanted to talk to all the moms here about the moment after birth. It's true that some women experience an overwhelming sense of love for their baby immediately after seeing them... But the thing is is that... I didn't... I loved him and I found him cute... But I never had this crazy rush of emotions that changed me in a moment. In fact it took me two weeks to really feel that kind of emotion. It's not that I didn't love him... I just didn't fall head over heels right away. And that sent me so far into a deep dark hole that I hate myself. I thought I had failed as a mom, that i was doomed, that I'd somehow hurt my baby. I wanted to talk about thus because my postpartum depression was centred around my failure to feel overwhelmed after birth. I just want everyone to know that it's okay to not feel it right away. You haven't failed, your not a bad mom, it just takes a little time sometimes, and there is nothing wrong with that... It's normal!!!!

I personally felt that love right away with my first. But your post is important, and I am glad you posted it. Because it isn't that way for every mom. It doesn't mean that you are a bad mom. It just means you are an individual, you just went through one of the most traumatic things a human being can go through. Whether womyn or man. it's a hell of an ordeal, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It is a lot to process. Not feeling that immediate love they describe in no way means anything. positive or negative. you simply are a mama that had a hell of a 9 months, and then some.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
No one experience should ever be equated to anothers.
