What Makes You a Mom? Posted: 01-16-06 04:33am
Just posting a new subject to get feedback
from you girls. My partner and I were
discussing earlier today: when do you
think you become a mother? After the
baby is born and you care for him/her?
When you see the baby born? When you
start feeding and clothing and caring for
your precious newborn? I think it's when
you start putting yourself second to your
little baby, making sacrifices (mine
include quitting smoking, drinking and
eating healthier) for the baby's health.
Though I have about three weeks to go I
think i'm a mother because I love my baby
so much already. What do you think?

I think it's when ur still preggo. Just
cuz that baby isn't living on its own yet
doesn't mean that ur not it's mommy.

I agree with you justacanadiangirl.
You are a mommy from the moment that you
realize that you carry a new life inside
of you that needs your attention for a
looong time!!
At least that's how I felt when I realized
i'm pregnant, that now ... I am a mommy!!
And of course when I felt the first kicks
I had absolutely no doubt that I am a
mommy!!!

My situtation is different. I married my
husband who was caring for his six year
old autistic son alone. He took to me as
his mom and the day we bonded, I became a
mommy. Now I am going to be a mommy
again
