Did you experience an increase in empathy during pregnancy and after birth?

While I was pregnant and after I had my daughter I noticed I'm so much more of an empathetic person. I was sympathetic, but I never used to cry at other people's pain no matter how sad it made me, now the waterworks always spring leaks! I've read this is a chemical response that occurs in a woman's brain during pregnancy and after child birth. Personally I like it. How many of you have experienced this phenomenon, and how are you feeling about it?
