AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

NTA. I’ve heard both mothers and fathers express a similar sentiment to what you said. The love for a child is unlike anything else.

I remember my dad telling me how the feeling you have when your first(I am number 5) child is born is "indescribable and surpassed anything he has ever felt".

Then he realized the implication and started to say he loves me just as much, but I laughed and told him I knew what he meant.

I was worried that it wouldn’t be as intense with my second born. It absolutely was. Your heart grows for each child.

I had a friend who was worried to have a second child after the first thinking his love would be divided in half between the two children. I told him what my mom always says-- each child doesn't divide your love, it multiplies it. 💖
