Pregnancy, a phase when your life changes for the better, you get to know yourself and your spouse the way you never had till now, a baby definitely makes your bond stronger than ever.
Parenthood, is one of the most awaited moment in a couple's life. To some, it comes as a planned event, some wait for years and years in a hope of one positive result, to some its unexpected and it takes them by surprise.
Something similar happened to me soon after my marriage. I was in a place when my body was ready to bring a new life to this world and my brain went in a shock, not that I didn't want a baby, I always did! But not too soon, I thought to myself that day... I was contemplating on the drastic changes which were to come, one wrong decision could make my life miserable to eternity. My present seemed bleak and future was hazy, I couldn't breathe... I yet had to start a living with my husband (as we got married just a few months back), that time I had different aspirations and from my life. However it would be unfair to my unborn child if he wasn't given chance, I had never been at such crossroads with myself till now.
After countless tears and counselling session by my parents and 24 hours later, I went to my gynec who suggested an ultrasound. Everyone around me seemed on cloud 9... I was oblivious and perplexed with all the events happening around me, a part of me was happy another was dazed.
I got an appointment for USG after two days; time passed and finally I was entering the room which would change my outlook towards motherhood forever. Inside, I heard the most beautiful rhythm ever created by mankind...this was heavenly, I was overwhelmed with joy...my eyes welled up and those emotions came into tear drops, I kept on hearing my son's heartbeats and with the same intensity my eyes were getting moist and moist, all emotions finally flooded and I rested my hands around my womb and said, welcome to the world my son!
We got bonded for life that day, now it all became clear when my mother used to tell me "You'll only realise a mother's instincts and feelings the day you become one".
Since that day I never gave a second thought to ifs and buts, my impending role was decided...it was to be a stay at home wife and mother till my son's formative years.
A lot of women might have had chosen a different path of life than what I did that day...I am nobody to judge anyone nor am I a preacher of motherhood, I shared my story just so that aspiring moms, accidental moms and any woman who is reading this page right now, should never fall back from having an out of the world experience like this. Never give up on the power of creation, selflessness and unconditional love that only a woman and a mother can bring in this world
