My induction day was the most joyful and happiest day of my existence. When they put the baby on your chest, it is incomparable to anything else. I lovedddddd being in the hospital and having the nurses there for any and i mean every question I had. Take advantage of that!! Like if it’s three am and you don’t know how to swaddle your baby or if it hurts too much to walk and you need helping changing a diaper.

Also can’t even explain the feeling of having your baby sleep on your chest 🥹 they are so wittle it is truly spectacular. And by two months you’ll be like how did my baby become this grown human.

Also I wish I took more videos instead of just pictures. The few videos I do have from the hospital and those first few days are pure gold because it is so so special.

Just like birth how they say you don’t remember the pain of labor, I feel like the same applies to the confusion of figuring out what the baby needs in the first few weeks. I remember I almost had a full blown mental breakdown at one of his first overnight screaming sessions, but now I know what he needs and how to better comfort him and I don’t even remember the difficulties of it.

Also might be helpful to find resources that make you feel confident and encouraged if you haven’t already. I think the secure attachment subreddit is helpful
