i feel like i need to shout it from the roof tops

I GAVE BIRTH!!

it was a very positive experience and i feel so proud at my body's ability. i feel like i've joined a secret club now

...I know what you mean!

I felt like that after my first daughter was born. I'd walk around the supermarket, expecting people to get out of my way, thinking to myslef

"Don't you know I've just given birth!"

It's great that you feel so proud of yourself... and rightly so.

Well done, it is a wonderful feeling the thought that you have brought a little life into the world, regardless of how they got there.

DH and I still look at DS(4) in awe and say we made that little person.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! AND WELL DONE. SO GLAD IT WENT WELL. REST NOW, AND FEED.

I've done it twice.

it is an amazing feeling isn't it?

I know exactly how you feel
I felt exactly the same and still feel the same pride now. I thought I was strange for feeling like that but i'm glad i'm not the only one.

Well Done btw

this is all wonderful feeling but i'll be happy to hear more about the birth, share with us please...

Congrats- its a very special club, I loved giving birth - its amazing.

Congratulations novadandypowder.

I know how you feel! Congratulations!

congratulations!

Ahhh, Well Done, what a nice refreshing thread, I enjoyed childbirth as well but I found most people thought I was as mad as a box of frogs so I stopped mentioning it until today

Good Luck and look after yourself.

congratulations!! ive had two, both naturally, hurt like hell, but theres no other feeling like it!youre allowed to be proud, enjoy.

Oh well done novadandy. It's fab isn't it? I still feel soooo clever (and was secretly convinced when I was pg that I would be someone who just couldn't do it-rather like passing my driving test.)

Feet up now-while you can.

Hooray! A new small person in the world! Great news

fangache....Pah! just twice!!

I've done it 3 times

Congratulations novandandypowder, it's a fantasic feeling, isn't it?
Welcome to the secret club

Just goes to show as well - my birth was horrific (impo) yet i still had that amazing feeling!

novadandypowder -Congratulations soooooo clever.

Have you done the "oh my goodness, how did this fit into here" game, where you hold the wee bub against your tummy.

Or is that just me

However not be recommended holding upside down BYW

I have had 2 natural births and know exactly how you feel. I love the whole pregnancy, labour and even birth thing but would love someone to take the kid away and give it back when it's 18 and less hastle. LOL
