What changed between you and DH/SO after your first baby?

[abstractmommy]

My hubby and I are super close right now. In fact I'm downright clingy and he doesn't seem to mind. The closer I get to having the baby the more I want to cuddle, be loved and held, etc. We both have friends but barely see them anymore, it's just him and me and we do everything together. I really like being around him all the time. I'm wondering how things will change once the baby gets here. How was your relationship before and after? Did it bring you closer or drive you apart? Did breastfeeding make a difference(I plan on it).

Please tell me your story!

our priorities changed, baby is the new #1! you can still be yourselves, but the new boss comes first...before you, before him, before sex, before going anywhere, before just about anything u can think about! but, there is still time to do everything...if u are not exhausted or strapped for $$ enjoy your new family, it is the best!

Nothing much changed for us. We cant have sex when ever we want and it takes a little longer packing a diaper bag, changing diapers, and loading kids into car seats before we go but its all pretty much the same now. WE sitll cuddle on the couch. We still go out on dates and we still enjoy each others company.

My husband and I have always been super close and that didn't change after the birth of our daughter. However, what did change is it was no longer about just us..it became all about Brielle (our daughter). I remember the days when we used to have "date nights" once or twice a week. Now that's about once a month (sometimes once every other month). We obviously don't mind, because it allowed us to become a FAMILY instead of just the two of us..but our priorities definitely changed.

We were about the same actually. We were kind of clingy too, and we still are....11 years later...just don't ignore him when the baby comes. You will be stressed, exhausted, and irritable...lol...make time for the 2 of you. It's good for your kids in the long run.

I was somewhat clingy with my DH before baby but now that I have her I'm not so clingy...I have her now to love too not just him.  I'm not saying she replaced him in any way or that a baby is the same as a hubby's love....but it just meant he didn't get all my attention all the time.

We were close before but after we had our dd, it became more about her being #1 then either of us, we did get close again after having dd it just took some time to get adjusted to the new boss, I breast fed and it was fine we had no problems except the occasional leaking( right through the breast pads) when  I least expected it so I would advice packing an extra shirt
