I hadn't any idea what she was going to look like (although I assumed blonde and she's got tons of gorgeous dark hair) and when I saw her, I just remember thinking "there you are, you're amazing!". Then I explored her, looking at all her little quirks and everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-like-you-knew-your-baby-at-birth#post-559253 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 19:06:46 +0000 rachiecakes 559253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! He looked exactly like I pictured. Even when I was little I always thought I'd have a little tan, dark-haired baby boy - no idea why. His face looks so much like my side of our family but his coloring is all DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-like-you-knew-your-baby-at-birth#post-559235 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:51:57 +0000 cyndistar3 559235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was like that for my first lo, as soon as she was laid on my chest I saw her face and she looked so familiar. Perhaps it was because she looked like me but with my second daughter I wasn't even sure that she was my baby. I don't know if it was because we didn't get the bonding experience of birth and skin to skin or what but it was a much different feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-like-you-knew-your-baby-at-birth#post-559234 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:49:57 +0000 heffalump 559234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I was like who is this baby that is trying to eat from my boobs? Is it really mine? Because I didn't actually see her come out of my who ha. Dh saw her though..... Right?</p> <p>And then I had all sorts of mommy guilt for thinking that. But I had crazy hormones going through me and I thought I should recognize lo and I didn't, and I don't know why I thought I should, I had never seen her before in my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-like-you-knew-your-baby-at-birth#post-559223 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:40:12 +0000 pl0508 559223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of did !!! The other half of me was just amazed he was all crammed inside me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-feel-like-you-knew-your-baby-at-birth#post-559198 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:12:30 +0000 lomom 559198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I saw SIL's son, I was just overcome with this feeling of "of course that's baby J! He looked so familiar and it was like he was someone I already knew.. If that makes any sense? Lol </p> <p>Did you get that feeling with your LO? </p>
