Birth giving and it's feeling

It’s good news! The pregnancy test stated I am pregnant. Two red lines turned my world upside down. Happiness, tears, and scary moments were there. Loads of questions and panic-filled moments too.  I first made a call to my husband, thank god for technology. I told him to come home; I was expecting. He was on cloud nine! He wanted to dance, celebrate, and shout to the world that he was going to be a dad. Months passed by, and my pregnancy progressed after a few complications. I delivered a healthy happy child. They say you won’t understand the feeling of being a mother unless you become one.  It’s true, I had a c-section. The doctors delivered the baby, they were saying congratulations, you have delivered a healthy child. I was in utter shock, I asked them if it was a boy or a girl. They said it was a boy. I immediately kissed him. Though it never matter ed if the baby was a boy or girl. We both only wanted a healthy baby nothing else. Days passed by since the two little...

How to be prepared for your big day

Ever worried about what to carry in your hospital bag. How to be prepared for someone you waiting to meet for 9 months. I too had gone through all this stuff. I had so my questions, how would I know if it's time will I be prepared or not. Stop worrying I would suggest because you would just know when the right time is and when you are going to get those crams or if it's just a false alarm. The best part leave it to God and time to decide when is the right time. Let doctors decide, what to do and when what not to do. Cues are many if it's time like water breaking, bleeding, or a cram. I had gone through bleeding. The pain is horrible when I tell you to trust me, it's really horrible. You just want to end your pain and get over with it. Check with your hospital or doctor if they provide clothes for the newborn, sanitary pads and any other stuff they provide, if not do carry the below stuff.

Eat for two?

A most common phrase I heard was during my pregnancy was you should eat more as you eating for two. Thanks to my doctors is all I can say. Pre-delivery I was 43 which then changed to 65 in those 9 months. It's an old saying eat for two, what I followed was on my doctor's say of course. Eat to your hunger, let your hunger decide how much you should eat. Have small meals or snacks at small intervals. You don't need extra calories intake, you definitely need extra nutrients in your diet, it doesn't mean adding more calories. Post-delivery I had lost 12 kg in a week all thanks to breastfeeding. When we say we feel like eating sweet or something else it's just your body's way of demanding they are getting short off some vitamins or some other calories. You might feel like eating chalk or mud it's just the body way of asking for more calcium. Take on queues eat and treat yourself with what you feel like eating don't think of your weight gain. Enjoy your beauti...

Motherhood-which noone told you about

Those two red lines change your world upside down. Happiness and fear which takes place with total excitement. Just someone doesn't tell you, what all it comes with. Your mother who you feel is very healthy or has so many health issues were just given by you. Which she just accepted it happily and lovingly without complaining about it to you ever. She was as beautiful as now just with maintained body weight without even going to a gym. So pregnancy never tells you nor someone never tells you, your body is never going to be same ever. The wasit which was always cherished and proudly fitted into your skinny jeans won't be able to fit in for 9 months or may be never after that. Sleepless nights deciding to sleep on the left side or right side is what is the struggle on. As the months pass the need to urinate increases,  ever-increasing need to use the washroom. The hormonal changes which are at the highest and strongest point in your whole life are going to make you cry at any poi...
