A new life....

My friend once told me that pregnancy is the best marketed concept. It is made to look so rosy and appealing. While in reality, it is very very different! I am now beginning to understand the truth in what she said.....

Being pregnant is a wonderful feeling no doubt, i don't deny that. But people around you should prepare you for harsh realities of it too! I was lucky enough to have friends who just turned moms....so had plenty of advice coming my way! But nothing prepares you for the actual feeling!

I was fortunate enough to get away with only slight morning sickness....but that itself was painful enough! You wake up very morning for the first three months knowing that you will feel hungry, but whatever you eat will make you feel nauseous.....and you have to eat to feed yourself and the baby! The initial thrill of having conceived is usually lost in the morning sickness phase.

Then comes the second trimester.....that's where I am currently...and this is a nice phase. You start enjoying your being pregnant...you start feeling the baby kicking in you...you hear its heartbeat for the first time.....you see your first proper scan of the baby....kicking and punching....its the most amazing time of your pregnant life!! Your stomach slowly starts making its presence felt....and you actually feel good to see it growing!!! Your appetite is great....and you have no problem eating anything....its a great time right now....

But I know the coming months are going to get difficult.....so gearing up for them :)
