First Day As A Parent

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

My first day as a parent I was rushed to the hospital with Toxemia. Which is pregnancy induced hypertension. I woke up 4 days after my c-section. All I remembered was my baby. The nurses to,d me she was fine. But I needed to see for myself. I screamed and cried “I wanted to see and hold my baby they called my husband to try and calm me down. I was very sick and had wires running everywhere. After my husband got to the hospital he explained that I needed to rest, but I told him “no” I would rest after I saw my baby.

Finally, they brought my daughter in and they wouldn’t let me hold her, but I got to see her. Because of this experience and me being very ill, I wasn’t able to bond with her. She and my husband bonded. I didn’t to hold my caught until she was about 2 weeks old. It shows today she and my husband are very close. It shows today that my daughter and her father have an unbreakable bond

I love my daughter very much. She is strong, successful, and independent. Everything I would want her to be. But I see other mothers and their daughters being the best of friends. And my daughter and I aren’t. Sometimes it kind of hurts not to have that special bond between us.
