From the womb

Pregnancy, no doubt a wonderful experience. The excitement starts from getting confirmation and gets elevated by each passing days. Though everything comes with its own side effects so as being a mother. With lots of sleepless nights, weeks with too much of vomiting and almost without food, coz whatever I eat, I used to vomit. Not only food sometimes water or even some aroma was enough to trigger a gush inside my stomach. May be the new life was finding it difficult to adjust inside me and he was not happy with coming anything near his neighbourhood.  In-spite of all those sickness, when I first saw you during my scan in the 8th week , it gave me a goose bumps. You are visible only as a tiny spot and your heartbeat as explained by doctor was like a running horse. Oh I came back home thinking only about that Yolk sac and was really amazed by nature's way of developing a human being. To my surprise it was like God's magic to send some-one inside me. First trimester kept on passing with too much of morning sickness, struggle to come to work and arrange nutritious food. Food was an enemy now, but had to find a way coz its all about my child, he should get some nourishment.
Slowly I started to wait for your movement inside me, 4th month passed in this wait, vomiting was reduced  to a good extent, and I was able to go to office and do my daily job. Weekends were reduced to be at home most of the time unlike earlier and stuck to TV. Suddenly on the sunday evening when your dad went outside for his daily darshan to the temple, I felt like some ant crawled in my lower abdomen. Was it my doubt or really an ant was crawling, no nothing was there it was you making your presence felt. I was thrilled, touched my belly to feel you and again waited for you to say hello.
Slowly time is passing, got a great help from your dada and dadi during 5-7th month. Now your presence is felt more often and it is more exciting to touch my belly to feel you. Nurturing someone inside you is really a great feeling.  Actually you are not separate from me, you are my part only and always be.  Perhaps this is a selfless a mother has, they start loving their child before they could see them, meet them or listen to them. A true blind love, without any expectation in return.
Waiting for my next appointment for scan, to see you again and an inherent wait is also there for you to physically come into my life , in my arms, in my lap. But please wait till your Nani comes, as I need my mental support from my mother too before I go to labour and bring you in my world.  :)

  1. You have captured the journey beautifully. Feeling of someone being inside you developing and nurturing is just out of the world and penning down this is not an easy task. But you have done it very well.
