I looked at those wild blue eyes and said "Oh my God! We love you so much!!!!" And then I realized she wasn't crying so that was the next thing I said...She was just too stunned and she piped up a minute later... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-660316 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 03:33:14 +0000 sunny 660316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought I heard a little cry and I asked "Is that her!??!" because I wasn't sure if I heard right.</p> <p>Then she cried more and the rest is kind of a blur. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-660297 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:10:59 +0000 Ree723 660297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"WHAT IS IT?!?!?" We were team green and I was dying to know if it was a girl or boy! DH was so flustered he had to be prompted by the midwife to lift the umbilical cord from between her legs (LO was on my belly) to see what she was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-660257 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 00:02:14 +0000 andrea86 660257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD I said "she looks just like her sister" (my step daughter).</p> <p>With the twins I can't remember the first thing, but I know shortly after DS1 was born I said "I dont get any drugs for this one either do I". The doctors got quite a laugh out of that. Then when DS2 was born I kept saying "WHATS WRONG" because he had a very difficult breech birth and was not breathing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-660202 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:49:35 +0000 Mrsjets 660202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The NICU had set up in my room because DS's heart rate was so low. He was sunny side up and stuck so I had just received a 3rd degree laterial cut followed by the vacuum. He was taken as soon as he came out and I rember saying "he isn't crying!" He was fine and cried after less than a minute of oxygen/rubbing but it seemed like FOREVER! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-660172 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:29:15 +0000 travelgirl1 660172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was something like 'is she okay?' or 'she's out?' as I had a c-section and couldn't see her. When they took her over to the table I asked if she was okay, what she looked like and whether she had any hair... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-660170 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:26:39 +0000 Pepper 660170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh this thread is making me tear up for some reason!!

They handed her to me, and my only thought was 'huh, squishy'. Then they immediately took her from me while the code team ran in, and I just sort of zoned out while making sure that my husband was on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658915 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 18:17:15 +0000 yerpie110 658915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Baby, you're finally here!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658721 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:39:26 +0000 autumn865 658721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it was "oh my God!" And then when they put her on my chest it was "Hi, I'm your mom." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658660 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:01:36 +0000 photojane 658660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love reading these! I remember that moment so vividly. When she was lifted out &amp; up I said, "oh my gosh!" And when she was placed on me I said, "Hi baby! You're so beautiful. Happy birthday!" Followed by lots of sobbing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658659 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:01:30 +0000 FarmWifeGina 658659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Birth #1: "Can I have him?" And instantly sat up and grabbed him out of the midwife's hands before she even had a chance to respond or move or anything, lol.<br /> Birth #2: I think it was something along the lines of, "Hi, Baby! Hey, Sweetie!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658650 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:55:08 +0000 Sweet T 658650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember. I think it may have been "Hi baby." and I remember telling DH to go with him while they finished up on my csection. The epidural made me a little loopy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658640 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:50:38 +0000 luckypenny 658640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>" My baby!

I do know that we had just finished discussing gorilla births.</p> <p>It might have been something about dark hair actually, because we would have used a different name if she was a red-head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth/page/2#post-658477 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:41:03 +0000 Boheme 658477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: My MIL reminds me every time my unmedicated birth plan comes up "You know you don't get a trophy for that, right?" so DH said he's going to give me one in the delivery room. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-first-words-after-giving-birth#post-658437 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 15:26:31 +0000 2PeasinaPod 658437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Not glad that you had to go through this, but glad someone else was in my situation!</p> <p>Mine were, "Why isn't he breathing? Someone answer me!" </p>
