Pregnancy is definitely the best part of every lady's journey as you invite a little munchkin in your life. It was 25th of October early in the morning while I woke up to the sound of birds chirping as if they are celebrating a special occasion and I found that I'm pregnant. That was the moment to thank, enjoy, feel, live and believe in what just happened. Thanks for prega news - a home pregnancy test that gives you accurate results.
The first thing I did was informing my husband and calling up my parents to give them this big news for which they had been waiting for three years.
This was the time for me to take a break from work, be careful and take enough rest. I did it too. But things always don't work as you expect and after three long weeks at mid night I realized that I've miscarried which was a big shock and dissapointment for both of us. We were waiting for sunrise and reached the hospital around 9:00 in the morning to know what's wrong. I had my first scanning done and I was informed that I had twins out of which only one is active. Although I miscarried one, I was still relieved that the other is active and I had to be extra careful. Our mental health is just as important as our physical health. It is normal to feel some anxiety and stress but it shouldn't be ongoing and in my case the biggest problem was staying all alone and worrying about things for no reason. It is definitely a natural process but dizziness and nausea makes you weak and you tend to worry if your baby is doing fine or not.
I was on complete bed rest for the first three months and started with some tablets along with HCG5000 injection which was given to me twice a week for the first 3 months to support my growing baby. Staying with parents during first pregnancy is the best thing to do but I was not allowed to fly till 7 months as I already had complications in my first trimester. I was ok to take risk for myself but definitely not for my baby. So, I waited for 6 long months and decided to fly back to Bangalore on the 28th of March. It was a damn good feeling to be back to my mother's place with my belly buddy. It refreshed my stressed mind and heart. I realized how loneliness can kill you making your life a hell and you are literally incomplete without family and friends.
Today I've completed 8 months 20 days and my sleepless night made me draft this blog post today i.e June 12th. It's a rainy morning here and it's time to grab a cup of tea and I shall continue to pen down rest of my pregnancy journey post delivery.
It was 21st June around 8:45 I realized that my water broke. I had severe labor pain. I waited for the whole night and rushed to the hospital next morning. After a quick check up I was taken to the labor room and the whole process started. At 11:00 pm my little princess arrived in this world bringing a lot of happiness in our lives.
Giving birth to a baby is definitely not easy. Respect woman and love her unconditionally! She goes through a lot of pain and she risks her life to give birth to a baby.
