Journey from a girl to mother!

The day when I left my home to build my own, the feeling of becoming a bride is unforgettable. Did something change in my life? Yes it did, priorities and responsibilities came like a storm into picture. I have always received immense love from my husband even in the darkest hour of my life. Soon realised my life is surrounded around him. In a few months, I became pregnant had mixed feelings and emotions. So the journey of carrying my baby inside me actually began, pregnancy was a life changing experience.

How can I not love my mother? When she carried me first in her body, then in her arms and for a lifetime in her heart and I understood her worth. And I stepped into her shoes, pregnancy in the very beginning was a roller coaster ride and slowly things fell into place, I went through beautiful baby into making phase. However I faced few hardships too such as sleep deprived, nausea, emotional mood swings etc to name a few, but it didn’t let me stop, I emerged as a warrior.

The pregnancy stage was nearing its end, I became extremely vulnerable, scared and frustrated altogether. I remember the night I got admitted at hospital, I had no labor pains and so I was induced that night, I slept through the night because there was nothing that kept me awake. The other day, I was induced twice and went under the knife in an emergency situation. I heard my baby cry in the operation theatre, the doctor asked what do you expect? and I said an angel, a girl undoubtably. She exclaimed, ‘how are you so sure?’, I said I knew it’s a girl, I had this feeling since forever. She was in my arms another day after I gave birth to her, that feeling is unexplainable.

I was super emotional when I held her, she was sleeping, my mom and husband were near me. They saw immense joy and tears of happiness in my eyes. That wasn’t all, I was in extreme pain due to a c section delivery, the fact that I couldn’t get up by myself and feed my little one pricked me deep. I went into postpartum depression for nearly two weeks, I always had my mother beside me to help me in every way she could. Breastfeeding was challenging in the beginning but as my baby got hang of it, it became easier.

Motherhood was even more tougher than pregnancy seemed, my little one is a three years old toddler now and I proudly say she is my pride. In a nutshell, evolution from a girl to a mother was incredible, it made me a better person.
