Women are very lucky. We were born designed to carry out one of the most beautiful missions that there can be: gestate another human being. Thanks to that wonderful power, we experience unique moments that only we have the privilege of living.
Taking our children inside and breastfeeding makes us live feelings that are difficult to explain, that only another mother can understand. Here they go five moments of that stage that will make you remember how privileged you are.
Know that your heart beats inside of you
When a couple wishes to have a child, the news of pregnancy is naturally a source of joy for both. But mothers have that added happiness of knowing that our son is forming within us.
With the first ultrasound comes that confirmation. You see and hear his little heart is beating at full speed inside of you. Is the first sign that you'll never be alone again. You feel accompanied, powerful and happy.
His first kicks
Understanding that a human being is growing inside you seems incredible, especially when we are mothers for the first time. But feeling his first kicks helps us make him more credible; as if our baby told us "Mom, here I am".
There are almost no words to explain the first time you feel your baby's movements inside of you. At first you feel like bubbles, butterflies, but as the days go by, and as the baby grows, the kicks and movements become more noticeable.
Even the days after delivery there are times when you have the feeling that your baby is still moving inside.
His body on yours at birth
Do you remember that feeling of have the warm body of your newborn baby on top? It just came out of your interior and you have it all over you, all pink, swollen and covered with vernix.
It is a moment that only the mother has the privilege of living and never forgets. Those who have had a vaginal delivery have surely been able to receive their baby with their own hands and place it on their chest to look at it for the first time.
If the delivery has been by caesarean section, that feeling for the first time your body on yours is delayed a few hours, although every time you try more to encourage early contact between the two, without distinguishing the type of delivery.
His mouth looking for your nipple
Few things wake me up so much tenderness that babies gasp as if they were little fish looking for the mother's nipple. Just smell it, you don't even have to have your eyes open to recognize that your mother is there to feed you.
The first look of love
One of the most beautiful gifts your child can give you is his first look of love. A very special moment of connection, when your baby is already able to look at you and recognize you and tells you through his look that he is dead of love for you. Than You are everything in your little world.
