15 Signs You’re a First Time Mom

I still remember the day when I first came to know about my pregnancy. I was at my mom’s place at that time and knew that my periods have delayed but instead of taking the normal pregnancy test at home, I decided to get a blood test done to know for certain whether I was pregnant. I was not able to believe that it was POSITIVE as the moment I was waiting for so eagerly had finally come!!!

Being a first time mom is exciting and  thrilling but at the same time it can be a little scary too.

Now, started my roller coaster ride which I am sure every mom goes through in her first pregnancy. You start to learn everything about the baby growing inside you and about the beautiful miracle that pregnancy itself is.

Now when I look back and remember my good old pregnancy days,  I have a good laugh of all the good, bad, stupid and sometimes over cynical things I did back then. I am sure all moms would relate to it in some form or the other and if you are a pregnant or becoming a mom for the first time, these signs will make you laugh too.

So, sit back, relax and relish these signs which proves you are a first time mom.
