Not sure how people will receive this. #longpostalert Home Birthing was more challenging than an institution birth, Socially. You read it right Home Birth in this era? that was the response we received it too from near and dear ones when they heard we were planning to go home birthing way. Let me take you back to the time when so many things were happening. I had the option given by hubby to stay either in Goa or Delhi for a comfortable pregnancy where all support and medical facilities were around. Delhi was ofcourse out of question for legit reasons. And Goa, Who wouldn't want to be in goa right? Party, enjoy with friends in this Journey I thought the same and chose Goa. Since I took the call and it was final, we thought to visit Delhi and Mountain Home & meet our furr babies then head back and come with baby. Met family and friends in Delhi and headed to our Himalayan paradise
Stayed there for some days and suddenly I had a feeling/calling to be just here and don't go to Goa. Shared with hubby and he supported my thought immediately but inside kehte hain na pairon tale zameen khiskana bas samjho wahi hua tha Miyan ji ke sath 😅 ( he now had to think hundred things which he shared later as to how we will manage to take me to a hospital for labor from a remote village like ours to a city which is 60kms, what if there is some emergency, etc, etc.
I was 3rd month pregnant then and the thought was quite clear now to be just in the hills understanding all pros and cons.
After discussing we both decided to pass on a life to our baby which he/she will cherish forever and not like I am taking passive smoking everyday, partying, being in goa. I wanted to be in nature with nature in every possible manner, breathe fresh air, wake up with sunrise and chirping birds and indulge in gardening, eat natural and organic in whatever sense possible and just spend time with self, hubby, our furries and nature. This decision was well understood and appreciated by hubby. He made sure I have everything at place. He was a thorough support ❣️ Kahani itni smooth nahi thi, abhi Bahut kuch baaki hai 😁 A month passed in the mountains, living exactly how I wanted.. I had stepped in 2nd Trimester (4th Month), now we had some experiences which made both of us realise we would like to consider Home birth to welcome our baby at the comfort of our home with proper knowledge and taking Midwife with us throughout the journey, Going to meet her for regular checkups (She is based in Faridabad). Life changed afterwards, in literal sense. That was the best decision of my life. We are really really glad we chose Home Birth for him. I didn't take any single pill from 2nd Trimester onwards. Followed all natural diet and it did magic like how. By god's Grace delivered a healthy 3.25kg baby Jaidev exact 6 months back, I am emotional while writing. There were tough days too which only we both know. Journey after 4 mos onwards and proper home birth experience will share in next. Today sharing very precious part of our journey with you all to celebrate our gudda's 6th month Birthday. ❤️ Love
