You have to be pretty secure in your self-image to refer to yourself as a "milk cow".

I am a late-in-life mother; I had my first & only child -the most beautiful son- when I was nearly 42. I heard, "Well, at your age..." so many times I decided to ignore the implied concern. I have never been so happy as when I was pregnant even though I had planned on never having children.
I went to a regular check up at 8-1/2 mos. & the doc could not find a heartbeat. I was scared to death! An ultrasound showed he was breech so I walked across the street to the hospital with my husband and AJ (Alex James) was delivered c-section 3 hours later. I looked at that boy for 5 weeks wondering what to do with him. He looked like ET! I was scared to go anywhere because I didn't know how to take him without disturbing him. He ran the show for a long time.
That has now changed! He is my running buddy, my partner, my friend, my Baby-Love! I cannot imagine my life without him- even if it did take nearly 3 years to get here!

I don't have a baby but I just wanna say, that Gwen is so awesome. I've always been a fan of her No Doubt and Solo carriers but Im a huge fan of her as a person. The fact that she's still nursing Kingston makes me so happy. With celebs like Britney running around smoking and drinking 3 months into her childs life.. its really refreshing to so hear about Gwen.

When I had my oldest son I was shocked...I was 16 when I had him so of course I was a frightening time due with all the risk..but when I looked at him for the first time all the judgement and ridicule was well worth it...

Ahh, yes, I fondly look back at the first time I saw my daughter-- I have never felt more important in my life.

I woke up to people telling me, "What a beautiful baby! What a beautiful baby!" I thought, on seeing her for the first time, "oh my, her forehead is so hairy, but she's so gorgeous"

I was so sick from whatever they gave me before/during my c-section that I didn't care that I just had a baby. My vision was so blurred that I couldn't see her properly until about 6 hours later. Horrible experience that I hope changes when I have #2.

She was so dark-haired, just like my husband, that my first thought was, "are they sure this baby is mine?" What can I say? I had a good epidural...

I had a c-section and my first thought was that I could hear her crying but I couldn't see her. I'm legally blind without the use of contact lenses or glasses and I wasn't allowed to wear either. So after they wrapped her up they slipped my glasses on so I could get a quick look at her before they took her to get cleaned up. Luckily my husband was allowed to take pictures while they were taking her out of me. She was so beautiful and then I thought how in the world did that 8lb baby ever fit in me.

flagtattoo, My labor and delivery was also really quick from the first contraction til birth it took an 1hr and 36 min. I pushed 3 times also.

But I remember thinking I made him, he came out of me and I was just crying. It was really beautiful. Awwh he's almost 16 now.
