Flashback Of Our Pregnancies!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone talks about the “The Proud Mommy” and the glow of happiness on a mother’s face when she holds her baby for the first time. But, before we actually become proud mothers, we go through all kinds of trials and tribulations during those 9 long months.

Let’s be honest here,  even though most of us read and know about pregnancy cravings and the different ways in which a woman’s body changes to accommodate the growing baby inside, nothing can truly ever prepare you for one of the greatest adventures of womanhood.

I have been focusing on mother’s or talk about kids and their little pranks in most of my posts. So I thought it might be nice to share my journey into motherhood during those nine months. 

I know this checklist is going to ring a bell with most mothers:

1      Feeling Jealous looking at other women wearing heels.

2      Desperately wanting to go and grab a pair of skin tight jeans to look hotter than      others.

3      Pinning for a nice Spa treatment.

4      Dying to sleep on your tummy.

5      This is the time we love to work out. May be go to the gym , jog , swim or skate.

6      Wanting to get a super cool hair color,blow dry or straighten your hair often.

7      Wear your rings back on your fingers.

8      Want your feet back because you are just too bored at looking at your big swollen   feet most of the time.

9      Crazy urge to fold your legs and sit up on the chair

10   Wanting to walk fast just like the others.

11   Wanting to look in the mirror and finding your old self minus the swollen face and tummy.

12    Hoping that pampering and extra care continues for a lifetime. This one I know most of you would love!

These are just few of the things that I felt during my pregnancy. The first thing I started to miss after Anika was born are those kicks in my tummy. I started feeling extremely empty inside after she was born. You could have gone to those prenatal classes or read a 1000 page book to get hold of how life turns once the baby is born. Once again, nothing prepares you for feeling this way. There can’t be anything which can guide you the best apart from having to experience pregnancy and motherhood yourself.

This is what I learnt in my pregnancy.

Every pregnancy is different from another. The day you know you are pregnant until the day your little one is brought into this world.  I am sure every mother counts her days till she gets to see her little bundle of joy. It could be getting pampered at home, quitting your job or attending classes. All this is done just for the baby. We women start looking up on the internet for every little thing. Want to eagerly know what other women felt when they were pregnant. Every tiny piece of data gives a whole new meaning to us.

The fact that you are going to become a mother is the most precious feeling in the world. And a new role of being a parent is just mesmerizing. You plan what to do, you organize your stuff, you decide on certain things, you basically make everything ready for the arrival of your baby. Sometimes, nothing works. Nothing at all. Your baby will teach you everything for you to be a perfect mother.

Not sure if I was blogging here or giving you my pregnancy gyaan.
