what was the first thing you said after the birth of your baby?

[babyonboard]

Just wondering what the first thing all you ladies said (or yelled) after giving birth.
My dp has constantly made fun of me since our ds was born in november, as I literally hollered 'it's over!!!!!' ...loud enough for unoccupied midwives at the station to dash in and congratulate us.
Nothing like the teary..'oh my gosh he's beautiful' i expected.
Little did i know it was far from over as i then had retained placenta and had to go into theatre and get a spinal block to have it removed..but thats another story....

edam..i know just what you mean, he was on his back and as i sat up and saw him for the first time he had the exact same profile as in our 22 week scan.it was instant recognition, especially as during the entire pregnancy dp & i had wondered what his little face was like, but never expected it to be like the scan.

SM,rather imagined you chanting to the deities and offering libations.

DD1 "Oh my god, she's got your nose" then the swelling went down - thankfully - she is now very cute.

DD2 was due yesterday - so my response may be along the lines of "what took you so long etc."

At dd1's birth as soon as she was born I said "Thank you so much." to the mw.
Dh said "told you it was a girl"

At dd2's birth I said "oh thank you so much." to the mw and dh said "Another girl, told you so."

See a pattern there?

After DS1 it was "I think I'm gunna be sick!" (and I was!)

After DD it was "Awwww, hello little X. I know, I know, you're here now"

After DS2 it was "Hello little X. I wonder what shit you're gonna give me over the next few years!!" and then "Where's my cup of tea!?"

ds ...bleaughh! (vommed 3 times) then midwife said ...' what did you have ?' and i said 'i don't care!'
dd...'bloody hell! it's a girl!! i don't make girls!'...then bleuaghh (vommed twice)

mother earth

maybe i should do a count up now..
there have been a fair few
'i think i'm gona be sicks'
or
'i told you so's '
hope this thread won't terrify any firstime mums to be..
i can say for myself at least had i read it before i wouldnt have felt so bad at my first outburst..
teehehhee

Think I said "a boy? Really? oh..." before passing out (was also on operating table, drugged and minus most of my blood). DP said "our son! our son!!!" Awwwwww. (We'd both thought it was a girl...)

When I first got to hold him I said "Hello, I love you."

first thing i said when she was given to me was right "madame ur grounded for all that kicking and making me sick" shes deff forgiven now lol

DS - 'Is he OK?'

DD - 'Is she OK? Does she have hair?'

Both cesareans and I couldn't see DD because the screen was too high. Don't know why I was so concerned about her hair though.

DS1 - "stop hurting him!"
(he'd had the cord round his neck and was born all limp and blue. The midwife slammed him down on a table and rammed a tube down his throat and he started to cry and turned pink - still makes me fill up nine years later)
Then "oh my God he looks like my Dad"

DS2 - "You're a bugger you are"

This has since proved to be very true so was told by DP to only say positive things on meeting DD!

DD - "Hello lovely girl.... you are a girl aren't you? are you sure she's a girl? Cos i've spent past 4 months buying pink things so you better had be a girl...Oh!, she hasn't got a willy!" even though i'd found out when having her the sex, was still really surprised there was no bits down there!

Not entirely sure as a bit out of it after 3days of unsuccessful induction and on drugs during a c-s but think it was 'is it ok ?' (highish risk delivery) and I remember saying, when I was told 'it' was a girl 'we were convinced we were having a boy' and 'hello' to dd and then 'what are we going to call her, we have to name her immediately' to dh (was particularly insistent and we hadn't' agreed on a name as she was a bit early).

'Oh, look' in a tone of mild suprise, apparently. Followed by 'he smells like a haystack'.

Is it a boy or a girl?

Is it a boy or a girl?

Is it a boy or a girl?

Had a c-section so couldn't see but no-one was answering me!!

lol at haystack! with ds1 i said 'he's here, he's here' and dh said 'i feel sick' and then fainted on a fan! with ds2 i said 'he has red hair!' and dh said 'if you want any more you will have the epidural - that was the most stressful thing i have ever done!' ???he did it!!???? incidentally ds didnt have red hair it was blood i was pretty gassed up!

dd1 nothing, too exhausted and the place was full of people running around sorting dd1 out. I guess I kept saying can I hold her can I hold her please.

dd2 'Hello darling, don't cry' and she stopped crying and squinted up at me with one eye closed, then she closed that eye and squinted at me with the other...lol

Can't remember I was sooooo exhausted. I was scared to even hold ds, didn't think I had the strength.

Probably something like "Thank f**k for that! Where's my Baileys?"

urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

can't remember

"you are so beautiful x 100,000,000

Ahem.... I said 'Sh*t he looks like Daniel'. My ds was the spitting image of my db and still is. Still don't know why that was the first thig I said but Ho Hum.

1. "OH MY GOD I'VE HAD A BABY!!!!!!!" to which DP screamed "What the fuck do you think we've been doing for the last 2 days?" (he was tired)

2. "Hello baby"

"oh my god who the hell has brought a baby into a place like this?"

Had an ECC and was out of my head on various things. I remember thinking it was entirely inappropriate for one of the staff to bring their baby to work at that hour of the morning.

Can I see the placenta?

to which they said no they'd already disposed of it

I've never seen a placenta

Ooooh, I saw mine! I was very proud of it! In fact I was more interested in the placenta than I was in the baby!
