From 48 to 75 kg (my pregnancy journey)
Hello,

Today I am going to share my experience of my pregnancy. I got married in 2018 feb It was a love cum arranged marriage. I come from a hindu family and my partner is a christian . It was difficult in starting for the approval from both the families but I believe that its God who pairs us in heaven n eventually everything falls in place .. as it was God's decision we were meant for each other and our marriage was full of fun with all the indian marriage chaos.

It was a mixed emotional journey and I shifted to a completely new city and state. After one and a half years of marriage we decided to have a child . We both love kids and as it was a planned baby and due to my over enthusiasm I did the pregnancy test thrice after i missed my dates and finally one morning I tested positive. My husband and I could not stop smiling and we immediately ran to our parents room to break this news not realising that it was 5:30am in the morning and they were sleeping It took sometime for the news to sink in.

Later we went to a doctor and did further tests to get offical reports ..

I was 48kg at that time. It was a smooth pregnancy but starting was not that easy I used to feel sleepy all the time , morning sickness the most common symptom of pregnancy .

I used to feel puckish and slept the whole day in starting 10 to 12 days and then later I felt normal and continued doing all my work. Yes at time I had mood swings when I used to get very irritated for anything being said to me and cried for hours.

I believe husband plays a very important role during pregnancy. If one gets enough love and pampering from him i think nothing else matter. I Thank God for gifting me the best husband as he stood with me throughout and tolerated all my tantrums during this time.. even took me out for late night desserts which he would love more . Played games on mobile ( despite family eating our head to stay away from mobile) as mobile rays are not good for pregnant ladies but he never missed a chance to spoil me ..

Later after 5months i went to my parents home and did my delivery there . Thank God i had no complications and was allowed to do whatever i wanted to ..being the youngest child I'm the most pampered one .. so my mom would make sure i ate after every 2 hr she would give me salads , fruits, milk , proper meal, etc and my dad would take me out for evening walks and we ate some junk food there( as i love junk food) and would not tell my mom.

I met all my friends and ate all my favourite food items . Even went for family outings with my parents, brother and husband ..

I was on cloud nine .. as i was loved and pampered by all .. everybody was doing everything was saying and super excited to welcome my little munchkin.

And when going for my monthly check up my doctor would give big smile and say everything is normal and writes my report.

I loved my 6th month ultrasound as that was the first time we did colored Doppler (you can see the baby face ,body ) loved that experience and for the first time in my life i also gained so much of weight 65 kg by now

Nobody ever imagined me this fat. I also started doing pregnancy exercise with my doctor. She used to come at my home in evening and sweat me out. Very exhausting that used to be .

I used to do gymnastics but now i could hardly twist my body as it became stiff. As i wanted to go for normal delivery I did everything possible. This was also a learning experience and beginning of my new journey.

Finally December came after a long 9months wait. We all were super excited and eagerly waiting for the day to come .I had few false alarms but came back with injection only. lol.

I became 75kg by now extremely difficult situation . Could not sleep , extremely difficult to walk , i used to hold my bed to get up. By now i wanted my baby to be out as it was becoming very difficult day by day .

On 24th night on Christmas eve my family and I decided to do barbeque at home as i love a bonfire and eat my favourite dishes. But we had no idea that God has some other plan for us. Same night after my long desire of eating few of my favourite dishes was fulfilled I started feeling some pain n same night i was rushed to hospital and admitted this time ..

Finally it was the time we all were waiting for , emotionally and also inside my body was dying of pain and wanted the child to come out soon. after a long struggle finally on next day afternoon i see my bundle of joy (baby boy) couldn't stop my tears. with my parents and husband by my side I n mom kept crying for half n hour .

My husband could not believe that finally he has became a father. He shared the joyful news with his family n friends. He was extremely scared to hold our little boy in his hand but still he did a great job and we all were smiling and welcoming our baby.. truly said its a second birth for a mother. I completely forgot all my pain of the past nine months and was only fondly staring into the eyes of my cute little boy with a wide smile and a variety of mixed emotions of love excitement and also relief.
