I had a baby today

That’s all. I had a baby today (actually yesterday! But I haven’t been to sleep yet). And I’m in hospital and I’m looking at her perfect, tiny face, and I am completely turned inside out and annihilated by love for her.

Nothing has ever felt like this.

Congratulations and welcome to the world, little one ❤️

andIsaid · 10/01/2025 04:05

Ahh, well done op.

Massive congrats to you and your lovely baby.

MumChp · 10/01/2025 04:05

Congratulations!

BodysBroken · 10/01/2025 04:08

What a lovely post I can feel your absolute elation. Congratulations ❤️

DrizzleTrip · 10/01/2025 04:13

Congratulations ❤️ What a nice thing to
read in the early hours:)

@NewestMum Congratulations 😍 I hope you and your girl are doing well! I spent the first night just staring at my boy too. I remember feeling so completely overwhelmed but more content than I’d ever been in my life.

Enjoy every minute and soak up all that newborn smell 😍

Also, as well as pictures (which I’m sure your phone is already full of 😁) try and remember to take a few videos over the next few weeks of all her newborn snuffles and faces. It’s some of my favourite things to look back on to remember just how tiny and fresh DS was ☺️

ThatLimeCat · 10/01/2025 04:27

Congratulations, and best wishes to you and baby.

NewestMum · 10/01/2025 04:32

Thank you all so much ❤️

Congratulations! How lovely.

I remember the first night after having each of my babies, it was such a special time. I just held them and stared at them for hours. I couldn’t believe they were mine, I just felt so lucky.

NewestMum · 10/01/2025 04:41

That’s exactly how I feel.- I’m just so lucky to be her mother

Congratulations!
Take a print of her hands and feet so you can look back in years to come at how small she was 😁💐🌸

minerva7 · 10/01/2025 04:44

No feeling like it in the world.
Enjoy this very special time op, and congrats 💐

EconomyClassRockstar · 10/01/2025 04:54

I love this! Congratulations and welcome
to the world, little one.

My eldest is now 27 and I still remember that first night. A mixture of awe, abject fear and a love that blows your mind xxx

Teanbiscuits33 · 10/01/2025 04:57

This is strange, I saw another near identical thread earlier today, or should I say yesterday, where the only difference was the OP had got married. Same posting style etc.

If it’s just a massive coincidence, then Congratulations, OP! 👩‍🍼

Daschund1 · 10/01/2025 04:59

DC1 was 30 yesterday. You never forget. He'll become a parent himself in the next few weeks, to say we're all thrilled is an understatement.
Congratulations. x

Pinkyponkz · 10/01/2025 05:00

Congrats OP. I bet she’s beautiful x

Thursa · 10/01/2025 05:02

It’s an amazing feeling. Many congratulations!

EnjoythemoneyJane · 10/01/2025 05:02

There’s no feeling like it - it absolutely knocks you sideways, doesn’t it?

Well done and congratulations, and welcome to your beautiful baby 💐

QueenRainbow · 10/01/2025 05:05

Congratulations. Nothing like the new baby “High” enjoy

DoIWantThis · 10/01/2025 05:12

Hi OP - congratulations and jubilations! Welcome the world dear little one xx I remember my babies being born (now in their 30's and with gorgeous little girls of their own) There is no other feeling like this. I feel all teary for you! Wonderful news - now try and get some sleep! xxx

tolerable · 10/01/2025 05:17

congratulations!

Mummyoflittledragon · 10/01/2025 05:18

Congratulations on your lovely baby. I know exactly how you feel. This is bringing such warm and lovely memories of when I gave birth to my dd. I also couldn’t sleep. Cherish every moment. ❤️🥰

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 10/01/2025 05:25

Congratulations! Enjoy the newborn snuggles, before you know it she won't be a newborn anymore. Babies are the best.
