Babies aren’t always so beautiful right after being born, but that’s to be expected, given what they’ve just gone through to enter the world. Don’t feel guilty if you look at your baby and aren’t immediately enamored with her (them). Emotions are difficult to control, and for some fathers — and even mothers — falling head over heels for your baby may take some time.

Childbirth is a long, intense experience (as we describe in Chapter 10), so allow yourself adequate time to rest and get to know the new addition to your family. If you suffer from feelings of regret or extreme sadness, or if you experience thoughts of harming yourself or the baby, seek immediate medical assistance.
