What were the first words out of your mouth after your LO was born?
Mine were, "I feel so empty."
I kind of feel bad that they weren't about my glorious child or anything, but whatever. Ha.
-
What the F happened?
-
Breathe ... please breathe (S needed to be ventilated for a minute and a half).
-
OMG he's out?!?! (Not terribly original)
-
@MsMini: so scary! How's S doing?
-
"Oh, it's okay"
Trying to console LO since she was screaming.
-
I'm starving!
-
"my baby" I said that over and over for a while. I couldn't see her because it was a c-section but I could hear her crying and it was the most wonderful sound in all the world
-
@autumnlove: haha yes.
I remember feeling like, "holy sh-- did that really just happen?!??" I don't know what actual words made it out.
-
I don't remember. I think "go to him, be with him." (To my husband-- since DS was taken to a bassinet across the OR to be checked before he was brought to me.)
-
Lol these are great:)
-
"Does she have all her parts?"
-
"Hello little dude, I'm your Mommy, and this is your Daddy. Happy Birth Day."
-
With DD I said, "Wow, I feel so much better!" And with DS I asked if he was a boy or a girl.
-
Hmm thinking about it again, it might have been more like "go with him, I will be ok" bc the l and d nurse dropped my numb leg to grab L; there was meconium in his amniotic fluid and he needed to be worked on. But the "empty" statement was the first thing I remember clearly.
-
"He's crying! He's crying!" (because I knew that meant he was breathing)
-
@dagret: Yep, he is all good, milestones all on time so far! I had an emergency c-section because he was not doing well, so we knew it would be dicey.
-
I'm pretty sure I said, "She's beautiful!!" Then I yelled at my husband to go be with her since they had to take her away to make sure she was okay.
@dagret: stupid meconium. Same here.
-
I think it was something along the lines of "I KNEW IT!" when my husband told me it was a girl.
-
@MsMini: glad to hear it
! @mediagirl: meconium sucks.
-
"Is he okay?" They delayed my delivery just a bit because they were worried about a possible cord issue and almost called in the other doctors. Instead, he popped out screaming, no issues, just a happy screaming baby.
-
"Is it a boy or girl?" I had an emergency c section and he was taken to the NICU by the time I woke up in recovery, not how we imagined being team green would go!
-
I said "holy s*** I just had a baby!!" The entire NICU team was in there and they all started laughing at me along with my husband and doctor. Then I appologized for cursing haha.
-
honestly - i don't remember! i just bawled my eyes out in happiness because he was out and screaming like a banshee! we had a scary last 10 min that ended with a vac extract!
-
@MamaJ: Best one yet!
-
with Wagon Jr: "oh my god! oh my god!" over and over.
with LMW: I'm not really sure, but probably something like "she's out? Seriously?" I didn't believe them because it was so easy to push her out!
-
"Wow, her feet are HUGE". My husband will never let me live that down.
-
i don't remember doing this but on the video that my husband took all i hear is me saying "i did it!" over and over. apparently i was pretty proud of myself. i feel bad that my first words weren't about my little one.
-
I love this thread. I've been thinking about what I'm going to say - probably something like "holy sh**!!" We'll know soon
-
Is he breathing? He's crying!
Go look at him.
SO: no you're more important, you need me.....as I am about to pass out on the operating table.
Me: go look at him. NOW. Make sure that he's ok.
Is he ok? Is anything wrong with him?I hated not being able to see him.
-
I have no idea what I said either time :T
-
I think it was Is she really a girl?? I had a fear the ultrasound was wrong.
-
"What's happening? Is he ok?" He wasn't breathing when he came out, so he was taken over to the little NICU set up in the room.
-
"Is it a boy or a girl?!?!?!"
and later I said
"Where's my medal?" (unmedicated birth humor)
-
I think I said oh my gosh, oh my gosh for DD and for DS I think I said Hi Baby. Wish I had said something more interesting!
-
I don't remember, but I think I said "hello my love" or something like that when they brought him over to me to see. I don't think I said anything right away. My husband was with him from the moment he came out and was calling out to me that he was huge and cute and I could hear him crying. I remember thinking that he had a really hoarse voice, but I don't think I said that outloud until much later.
-
Holy crap.
How trashy is that!
-
I think it was "Oh My God!" followed by "Hi little girl!"
-
I'm gonna throw up.
And then I puked all over the nurse who was trying to hand me a tub to puke in.
-
@MsMini: Not glad that you had to go through this, but glad someone else was in my situation!
Mine were, "Why isn't he breathing? Someone answer me!"
