So here I am married and expecting my first child…exciting times you would think, right? Well no, not actually. You see the thought of having someone depending on you for solemnly everything is terrifying to say the least, not to mention the fact that you will be bound to them for a good couple of years. What I mean is that your time is carved and scheduled around them for a while and you now have to think of baby friendly places. You might also have to forget that friend that always wants to have a night out and the occasional drinking gatherings that go on right into the next day, forget all those. The journey is one you can never trade for anything; I mean having life grow inside you is truly a miracle. Just the thought of carrying someone in you is amaizing, yes it’s adorable, it’s all things rainbow and sunshine.
But the pressure can be too much as well because now you need to be careful of what you eat and how much of that also. You cannot drink alcohol…if you love your alcohol it will be a VERY long dry wait. And daddy’s in solidarity everyone should give it up I mean it is only fair right? I wouldn’t be totally honest with you if I didn’t tell you of the horrible nausea, the bloating, the stretch marks, the swollen feet, the pimples on the face and the tender boobs! The list is long hey, if you are having a summer baby you will be over heating with an extra load you will be carrying around. The tummy will be there! Just in the way of everything and if you are a cluts by nature like me you will bump into everything, literally everything. You will be tired suddenly the body will seem very heavy to carry around, SLEEP SLEEP is all that will make sense.
Ow but it gets sweet and tender at times, when your little person kicks inside you. Those are the moments when you just have to appreciate the human body and just nature in itself. Then if you are a first time mommy who is taking everything in, gulping every experience as though it will end soon, you will go for a photo shoot to capture and keep those moments. Your belly will be your pride and joy especially when it is visible and big. And the journey still continues…

OMG this is an amazing experience yet terrifying. I also feel ready to have a baby now and willing to go through it all. I pray nausea passes me. Hahaha… I cant stomach sickness for days. Anyway, I thank God for allowing us women to be able to bond and have babies. Your story should be shared. I dont want one baby but going for multiple twinning. Hahaha… Enjoy Motherhood.

From a man’s POV I find this very insightful and informative, Tunky. I don’t have a child yet but I’ve always been mindful of the fact that a pregnant woman goes through a roller coaster of emotions during pregnancy. As much as I can say we also go through emotions and frustration.. both parties still need to show that love, care and support towards each other. Then pregnancy will become more of a journey than, perhaps, a destination.

Yhoo say that again mtase ‘tender boobs’,,pigmentation of the skin as well….jhoo especially on the area surrounding the nipples, a dark line also appears frequently down the middle of the abdomen.
Sensitivity to smell commonly a cooking oil.
‘Swollen feet’ and backache coz as we gain weight during pregnancy the balance changes and causes a strain at the back.
