Mother of Baby Boy !!

Proud Mother of cute baby boy now !!

38+5 week...plan was to be in hospital after two days so went to final shopping. I was roaming around shop to shop. When I came back to home pain started, gradually, one in 10 min ..went to hospital, first they thought it could be false contractions but no my baby wanted to come and so pain were more frequently...hubby was there to give me all support as he could...breathing yoga helped me again, deep breathes helped me tolerate pain, then breathing pump and then nothing could help as final pain was horrible, was about to gave up so I just hit my extreme limits to help my baby came out...opened my eyes and last push and then here you are !!

Wohoooo what a relief at that moment!!!!

 It so difficult to give words to that moment when my baby was on my hands, how he opened his eyes, had a look on us, recognized his parents and closed his eyes with peaceful assurance :). new family after beautiful 9 months of pregnancy.

Now this is new journey of motherhood, every day having new experience with our son :)

9th Month

Auspicious day and 9th month started.
Had 36th week scan and found baby is on proper position to arrive normally. Waiting !!

Time just went, crossed summer to autumn on full blown and now coming winter. So weather sometimes hot, sometimes pleasant, sometimes cool enough winds and sometimes good rain too. Just like life.





38th week !!...one more week to go !!

8th Month

8th month started, few weeks to meet baby.Next week would be another growth scan and that will give a clue when could baby come. More and more Dr appointments making me busy, sometimes stressful, sometimes casual. Stressful when Dr said this could be early delivery, causal when other week they say all looking fine. Any ways good that they are keeping constant eye on my pregnancy. Baby responds to daddy, making him happy.

Some celebrations and so invitations are coming these days but could not attend any one as now talking to crowd making me uncomfortable. I just go for walk, have warm up exercise and if I count daily house work, that has become part of daily routine so don't make me tired.

Today had scan, baby moving so much, must be happy to meet parents soon.



Last week of 8th month:

1 more month to go. Missing my mom, thinking I should have been her only child so that she could love only me, could give her all time and attention to me only...selfish thought, I know, but keep coming.
This time I only want 3 person with me; my baby, my mom and me. I am planning to spend at least one whole month alone with them. No gossips, no cell phone. Only we three and a 24 hr care taker or one cook, one cleaner.
I just want to eat two times variety of food, without asking my liking or menu. Then want to lie down, put head on my mom's lap and baby in my arms. My hubby can also be relaxed for few days :).

hmmmm how relaxing but nearly impossible thought. As all this happen but cant get my mom's dedication as she has so many relatives on priority than me and bad health too that made her bit helpless and sad.
These thoughts are coming to my mind because I couldn't spend more than 8-10 days continuously with parents after job and marriage.

Any ways apart from thoughts, in reality, I am quite relaxed and satisfied with my husband. He is doing as much as he can do, but human mind always asks more. So am not surprised or feeling guilty on my selfishness :).

Third Trimester

Third and last trimester starts now !! Approx 11 weeks to go. I can feel my baby movement more. Time just goes, when I said this to my midwife, she told after birth time will go faster. True.

I have started my diet with no added sugar, so that baby weight should be on track on delivery. So no jam, juice, cakes, desserts any more :). They attract more once you have to get rid of them. But no issues, as long as my body carrying healthy baby, my mind can control extra rich food. So more beans, lentils, fibre rich foods. Thankfully I have no so called food craving so can easily manage balanced diet.

7th Month

7th month considered from 27th week 30th week, so may be trimester-wise I am still on 2nd trimester and from 29th week third trimester will start, but month-wise I am on 7th month now.

So despite all these technical counts, my 28th week scan has been done, baby growing as per my ratio, opened eyes also, quite moving mood now so more frequently I started feeling moves, reactions on new voices. Beautiful feelings.

I had glucose tolerance test, have to keep an eye on diet so started small portions of food in every 2 hrs. Good thing is, despite the fact that I am pure vegetarian, Dr found good Iron and Calcium level in my blood, so I got again more trust on my vegetarianism.

*I should mention Dr found Gestational Diebieties, that means not only diet but I have to go through not painful but irritating insulin injections 3 times a day, need to write test results and submit it every weekend to Dr.

6th Month

We have crossed more than half of the journey and now it is 6th month going on. Baby moves sometimes so could feel, not so frequent but something is there. Feeling is like air bubble that suddenly comes and goes, so can easily get confused with gas :). Feeling kicks or big movement will obviously take some time. However, It feels good when you feel inside something in pregnancy, that makes you less worried and can enjoy whole journey.

Trying to knit a crochet blanket for baby, learnt from Internet videos, started bit big so lets see when will I finish it. Meantime, Hubby also want a scarf, would wear, if I knit for him. Inspiring, so definitely will try one :). Crochet is quite different and beautiful creative experience for me and interesting too, keep me busy for long. Cant sit on one position for long so less time to computer now.

Y'day (3/7) completed blanket for my baby, have taken photos, looking nice :). Now hubby's scarf making going on, lets see when would I complete that too.

23 weeks and baby started clear move that I can feel by touching, Hubby also felt first time, was so happy that was thinking whole day about first feeling in office too :). It is some of those unique experiences that can't be defined in words, we as a adults can never realise all these small happiness that our parents too felt and enjoyed until we came to these stages. Now even as a child we feel obliged that our parents gave birth to us, but now I feel at the same time parents also feel proud and contented too after giving birth to us and more even as a child you are good and successful in your life.

Had 24 week scanning today. baby is looking fine, good movement and good view of every body part :). Scanner was in rush I guess, so was really kind of glimpse of baby this time, but gave us some photos so no complaints.




End of 24th week and done Hubby's scarf and Baby's Socks too...looking so cute.

5th Month

Shifted to new house and got our Internet again. First saw how's my baby is doing on pregnancy calender. They says we could know the gender on 20th week. If so, at least I can pronounce you correctly my dear baby :). It is starting of 5th month, not feeling any movement or kick, may be my baby would not be a sports person or it's still too early, as midwife says.
Now there are few suggestions ladies are giving, most of them have points...

1. Sit straight, baby needs enough space to move around.
2. Don't sit cross legged, for smooth blood circulation.
3. Use belly oils on tummy from now onwards to avoid stretch marks.
4. sleep on side not on back.

Last week of 5th Month :
It is 20th week. Time for 2nd scanning and probably for knowing gender of baby, if baby is not shy. We came to know, everything seems good in scan result. Baby was keep on moving but scanner anyhow managed to take the pics.Boy or Girl, is a secret, a good surprise for everybody. So let it be. How am I feeling now, hmmm bit tired, cant be in one position for a long time as it causes knee, back pain. Yoga continued so not much to complain about.
