Jared Haibon talks about emotions when their son was first born
US Weekly shared what Jared Haibon had to say about how he felt when Dawson was first born. He said that he was always told that the instant his child was born he would feel an instant overwhelming love. Jared says that wasn’t the case with Dawson.
He said that while he didn’t have an instant connection with his son, he’s learning more and more that it is okay. Jared said, “The biggest surprise thus far has been … I was not, like, overwhelmed with this feeling of unconditional love for my son [when he arrived].” He continued, “In the moment, I felt like a very evil human being because all I’ve been told was, ‘As soon as this kid is born, you’re gonna feel it.’”
He went on to say he felt guilty about his feelings. Jared said, “I was like, ‘Oh, my God. I’m a psychopath. I don’t love my son.’ … I want to tell people [to not] have this expectation because you’re going to feel like a horrible person for the first couple hours. And that’s not what you wanna feel.”
Ashley weighed in on their feelings
Ashley Iaconetti also spoke out and said that her sister-in-law, Shannon Haibon, and 90 Day Fiancé’s Loren Brovarnik made her and Jared feel better.
Ashley shared that Loren told them she didn’t feel a connection with her child until they were roughly three weeks old. The BIP alum said that for her and Jared the connection didn’t take that long. She said, “Jared and I started feeling that attachment, honestly, within hours.”
Now, Jared said undoubtedly he loves his son more than anything in the world. He gushes about Dawson constantly.
Ashley also shared a glimpse into her birth story. She said it was only two hours from her first contraction when she got her epidural. Then, Dawson made his debut nine hours after her first contraction.
Since she got her epidural so quickly, Ashley said she really only had bad pain for about an hour. She said the first hour simply felt like bad menstrual cramps.
