[sunnydays]

Spoiler: Thread summary

Several mothers share their birth stories in this conversation, relating the quick, smooth, and relatively painless experiences of their deliveries. Most of them mention the incredible feeling of love and warmth they felt during the immediate snuggles with their newborns right after birth - an overwhelming and magical experience. There's a sense of gratitude for these lucky, smooth sailing births, especially as many mothers have much more difficult and painful stories to share on this topic. The pure, intense love and joy experienced in the newborn phase, along with the amazing strength of a woman's body during labor, are all highlighted in these comments. First-time mom sunnydays set the trend, and the other women responded with their agreements and similar, heartwarming stories filled with snuggles, love, and wonder.

I'll go first! My little one was due on Dec 4th but I woke up at 3AM on Nov 29th with very mild but regular contractions. They continued throughout the day and into the evening so we went to the hospital after midnight when they were about 7 min apart.

When we got there, they checked me and I was only 1 cm but they admitted us anyway since my contractions were consistent. My water broke on its own around 4AM and things intensified quickly from there. By 5:30 I was feeling the urge to push and baby girl arrived at 6:11AM, just an hour and a half after admission!

It was such a quick but amazing experience and I'm so grateful it went smoothly since it was my first time. Seeing her immediately snuggle up against me after birth just filled my heart with love - it's truly a magical feeling! She's almost 3 weeks old now and each day is more fun than the last!

Not everyone's delivery story has such a happy ending; you are one lucky mama! That was a really fast delivery, and it's great that everything went well despite it being your first time.

The post-birth cuddles are the best! You don't forget such special moments. Each phase gets better and cuter from here.

It's true; I've heard plenty of scary birth stories, so I'm really grateful for my good experience. Lucky me Those initial snuggles are just the best, aren't they? There's nothing quite like it.

 

[travelmum]

Yup, I feel really blessed that things went so smoothly! Could have been a very different story though, since first births can be quite unpredictable right! But ya, those early days were a blur of joy and wonderment - and exhaustion haha. That newborn smell also cannot be beat. Mmmm...

 

[lioness]

Wah! Your little one came super fast huh! So lucky everything went smooth sailing too - sounds like a dream come true! I think it's so amazing how our bodies are made to do this incredible thing. Nature is so cool! Congrats again!

Wah so fast one! My labour also fast but not as speedy as yours - 3 hours from admission to birth. I also thought it was so smooth and easy, until the after-pain hit me. Hahaha! But yep, that initial high when you first hold your baby is really something else man. So heart warming hor.

Thank you! Ya, it's an incredible feeling that makes everything so worthwhile. Some say it's like love at first sight. It's a very powerful and heartwarming experience indeed.
I'm still floating in that newborn bubble where time stops existing - except when you're up with a cluster feeder! Haha! Enjoying every moment though, they grow up so fast!

 

[bananarama]

Yup, smooth sailing, didn't even need an epidural or anything. Lucky me had a natural pain reliever - the excitement and adrenaline were pumping throughout my entire labour! The midwives said it was pretty uncommon for first-time moms to have such a quick and straightforward delivery. I'm just so in awe of what our bodies can do!
