Weird question..

What does it feel like after you have the baby? Like.. Do you feel empty inside or really lightweight because the baby is out? Does the sickness and everything go away? Lol, this has been on my mind for awhile and I'm getting induced in 4 days so I was just wondering. Hah.

This is my third and yes I did feel kind of empty. I remember waking up through the night freaking out for a minute because my belly was gone and then I remembered I had my kids lol. But igot2 is right about finally being able to breath n everything. And of course it was still kind of hard for me because I had csections  but being able to touch your toes is truly a blessing lol.

Lol I can't speak for anyone but myself.Im on baby #2 and after my first I felt relieved. Lighter on my feet all of a sudden I can breathe all the pressure was gone. It took a couple days to feel totally normal again but it was great. Only thing was that even after you have baby you still contact. Not as painful as labor contractions more like period cramps. It's just your uterus going back down to is normal size I remember it hurting for a couple days especially when I would breastfeed. By the time I left the hospital my belly was flat as if I didn't just have a baby. I hate breastfeeding but I loved the fact that it helped me lose my weight super quick. Lol so far off the question lol just know once you have your baby you will be so preoccupied none of this will matter. Your gonna look up one day and be like man where did time go. Just enjoy every moment and take lots of pictures bcuz before you know it they will be growing up. Just had my son yesterday and now he is almost 4
