Everybody puts every moment of their lives on social media these days. To me, this is a very precious, sacred and private moment not to be shared with the whole world but only with those you love. I'm from a boomer generation that struggles with these times understanding why nothing is private anymore.

That's a rather odd reaction no matter how much pain it causes the first thing most mothers want to do is hold your baby to your bare skin. I can't imagine having that reaction even though I was in labor 24 hours and they finally did a c section and as soon as I could I wanted my baby and they had to make me give her back at about 530 am to weigh and check her and as soon as shift change was over I buzzed to bring me back my baby.

She most likely had no pain relief and was wanting to enjoy her first interaction with her newborn. She took a moment to gather herself. Do what works for you instead of hating on another person who you don't know them or their situation. kindness is free

Besides some of the comments not being supportive. It's nice to know that she's a human being and all experiences are not the same. I think it's nice that it's shared also, for others who have had this feeling, needed the extra time before connecting with their child that if it's also "a normal thing". Not all births are exciting and happy, some are minute to minute and very scary for some. Not only that, she will have this baby on her side for the rest of her life to love and care for every chance she gets. 🙏🥰

It brings back a memory, after I had my son. There was a woman in the next bed. She had to have C-section. She would not look at her child. She wouldn’t hold her child. Every time they came in to show her her child she would kick them out she wanted nothing to do with any of them,I really hope and pray that she got better and loved her beautiful baby. I’ll never forget that.

This is what people need to understand. Yes we love our children but sometimes we’re not ready for going through the birthing process. We just need a minute to simply breathe.💕

I was told that some mothers who release their newborn for adoption choose not to look at the baby (for fear of changing their decision).

So much happens when babies are born, all at once. Excitement, terror, pain, exhaustion, fear, more exhaustion, anxiety, hormonal crash- one hell of a roller coaster ride!

Good for her to know she needed a moment to change from who she has left behind ,and is transformed to a Mother for all time. That baby will now really connect to a mother that entirely ready to embrace her child.👍🏼💕

I felt the same way and was criticized for it. No one understands that giving birth is not easy for everyone.

but yet you had time to be recorded and post this 🙄 but I guess everyone is different and feels differently about everything we're not all the same and not everyone will understand how you felt in that beautiful moment and it's okay congratulations on you're beautiful blessing

I'm a boomer. Everyone is different and each of us handles life events in our own way. There should be less judgement and more support.

The pain can snap your mind for a few minutes. I was in agony but I did want to see the baby. People need time to get past the pain sometimes.

I did not look down after they put him on my chest for a moment or too, I wanted the pain to be gone so that my first look would be of joy

I am not sure I understand what she is feeling but I know I wouldn’t want to deny her those moments so when she does hold her magnificent daughter she will feel strong so that her daughter feels safe in her arms… Dad was amazing…

No way would I say this isn't possible. With my first daughter, almost 32 years ago now....damn I feel old .....anywho .....I was in labor 8 hours. Yea, not a LOT of time ......BUT while I was in labor my contractions were off the chart and I was getting NO breaks. They finally did an emergency c section that they put me under for. Had I been awake, I can't say my body/mind would have let me hold my daughter until the stress levels and shock came down. I was literally being knocked out with pain medicine almost every hour just to get me through. It was traumatizing enough that it took me 8 years to become pregnant again. So yeah, I can totally see needing a moment.

why would you put something this private on social media? do you really did attention that bad? you are really going to have issue raising your child with a healthy attitude if this is the case. Find graditude that you are a mom now & try to relax & enjoy this new journey of your life.

Congratulations on your new healthy baby. You take your time to look at your baby. Sometimes you are given medication for the birth that might prevent you being able to move your head to look at the baby or what other people are saying. Who knows, we are not there.

I was 16 when I had my son and I had to have an emergency C-Section and that’s very traumatic for a young 16 year old and not being able to hold your child until after you wake up and other people getting to hold your baby before you get too. But when I did I didn’t feel that way. I could not wait to hold my baby.

everything u r feeling sis is a normal thing and not to be made to feel like u have to be feeling like tv and internet has made ppl feel and think that’s not normal for the majority of us are scared feel empty inside and feel more nervous about being the main one responsible for another’s life and letting go of ur freedoms adjust to your baby takes time it’s not natural for any mom but u can rest assured ur helping many other new mothers see it happens for a lot of us

That’s why a drugs help in birth I take the shot in back for birth. Happy delivery normal kids no pain enjoyed the whole process. It’s a personal choice. You don’t know until you start labor if you can go natural labor or not. I know a lot of women who only had one kid because of the pain of childbirth. Sad

I didn't go to the nursery until the 2nd day. I was exhausted and I didn't feel ready to take care of the baby yet. Fortunately back then you stayed in the hospital for 3 to 5 days. Male Drs would tell you to go home and rest...what??? That ain't going to happen. Now days many hospitals don't even have nurseries that care for the babies most of the time so they have to start taking care of the baby almost Immediately. Moms don't get the amount of help that they did before. The insurance companies don't want to pay and it doesn't matter what's good for the babies or the mothers...comes down to money...again. I think that would be tough going home the very next day
