From Womanhood to Motherhood – The Beginning


  

Hi Everyone!
I got a bit of ‘alone time’ today and thought of sharing my present state of mind and life with all of you valuable readers. Motherhood is a joyous new experience and I am really looking forward to sharing this fabulous life changing experience with all of you.

small-babies Being a mother means major responsibilty. Just thinking of it used to give me goose bumps and honestly it was the last thing on my mind.
Life changes on a daily basis and when that maternal urge sets in there is no looking back. Just when my mind and heart got together and surged ahead full speed my body came up with its own issues. I was diagnosed with PCOS. It is then that the thought of never being a mother set in. It was terrifying to think that I might not be a mommy and at that point of time that was my only desire and dream. It took many many months of patience mixed with bouts of frustration along with endless trips to the doctor because of the health issues involved. When complications come they all come at the same time and by the dozen, but God is great and there is nothing impossible with him. He makes a way where there seems to be no way and what a beautiful way he made for Kapil and me. I conceived.
July 9th was when ‘she’ came into our world. Our little conception and God’s greatest blessing. Our Princess.

The delivery was not all that easy and simple. No amount of anything can prepare for child birth. Nature has it’s own way of dealing with life and 12 hours of labour and a C section later my little one was in my hands….simply beautiful, safe and secure. Pain, uncertainty, lack of experience all of this is part and parcel of all things new and beautiful.
A part of me hated being tied down because it meant letting go of the previous life that my husband and I shared. Is there anyone in the world who doesnt want to be carefree? Well, here I was. I had to give it all up. Nothing was the same. Gone were the days and I guess that is why its called an experience because nothing lasts forever except memories. Memories of youth, being a spinster, then a lover and being the center of attention in a marriage.

Today I’m experiencing something new….motherhood and boy does it feel good! newly born boys girls babies names cute kids mobile wallpapers
I am on my way to recovery thanks to the support of my family. A big ‘thank you’to all of them. Everyday brings better mental, physical and emotional well being. I miss my outings at the moment. I am sort of confined to the bed until my stiches heal. There are a few other things. I have to be careful with my diet and I have to avoid spicy food and eating out because all of what I eat goes to the baby and she has to only get the best. I miss blogging and that means all of you lovely readers. Miss our chats and laughs and all the encouragement that we give to one another….but when my baby smiles, my heart skips a beat and my world is just flooded with happiness that makes every loss worthwhile.
Now a days women tend to choose their careers over their lives and pregnancy. Remember ladies, money will come and go, careers will come and go, fame, popularity, freedom all of it but your family and children are here to say in both good and bad. I don’t think anything can satisfy you as much as bringing new life into the world. Everything else is just a mirage in this materialistic and plastic world.Have you heard of that phrase ‘A child gives birth to a mother’? I never understood what people meant when they said “Motherhood is a womans new birth”. I guess it takes a mother to understand a mother and yes, it means nothing more than COMPLETE. Baby-Names It matters to have a loving spouse cause it takes two to tango and having a baby is nothing short of a never ending jig. A hug, a smile, a comforting smile from him just once a day is enough to keep me going cause time is of the essence once you have a newborn. Hours are reduced to minutes these days and things have changed totally. Previously, we used to get bored at home and look for things and ways to entertain us but now neither of us want to leave our baby…not even for a minute. Just looking at her keeps us entertained. Her smiles, her little yawns, her facial features when she’s dreaming, her little fist in the air …there is no end to it. Kapil and I share a bond now that is stronger than before and ‘she’ will only strengthen it. Together we will plan our lives around her and watch our princess grow, watch love grow……

What did you experience during your initial days of motherhood Smile. Tell us, we’d love to know.

    have u given ur baby a name ?

    • HI aDITI….NOPES ..HAVENT GIVEN HER ANY NAME….I AM GOING TO TAKEEEE LONG LONG TIME FOR IT Grin ..SHE IS SO SPECIAL NAA….LOLZ

  16. This is the best post in wiseshe. The perfect one. A tiny tear almost came to my eyes. I am not married but yes I have a better half and while reading I just thought how even our bond will change with a new life. Very beautiful. Moreover, with you issues, i can understand how hard it might have been to get her. I sometimes don’t get it when girls become too selfish and do not think about being pregnant as they are too busy in their career. they have their own priorities and I understand that (i do not want to sound like a old lady lady) I have seen u managing wiseshe. I have also seem my own boss managing everything with pregnancy and a small baby along with a huge team while she was suffering from soo many diseases and issues the whole time. My respect for u and her have doubled now. Thanks for the sweet article.

  19. Ana, this is beautifully written and straight from the heart. It is true that the bond between u n Kapil will now have changed forever, but it gets sweeter. It’s cute when hubby gets jealous of the attention u give baby and when the baby gets older she’l get jealous of the attention u give ur hubby and that’s super cute Giggle Would love to hear more bout ur delivery and what was going on in ur mind at that time…in fact I’m dying to know the details!

  39. Congrats Anamika!!! This is the best post on WS…. Big Smile I can relate to each and every thing u said, even though it is almost 5 yrs now for me since i delivered my little one.
    In the first month, my son used to cry all the time and i had a mad time figuring out if he was wet, hungry, or scared!! That one month was so terrible. But by the end of that month, i got the hang of being a mother Big Smile After that, i could tell exactly why he cried, what he wanted. And of course, after a month, he smiled at me for the very first time…that smile, that first interaction between us changed my life…

    Such wonderful post Ana…

    Having gone thru it I felt each and every word as if I am writing it. Guess all the moms have one language, of love.

    I delayed becoming a mom for some silly reasons [i.e. Now I find them silly]
    Have our own home, then career… In fact in career I just forgot that I needed to act on this front.
    Finally when I had baby, life and its priorities changed so much that I refused to join back to my post of AGM in this BIG company. It felt like this is what women are essentially made for. May seem quite orthodox, I would have felt so had I heard it a couple of years ago, but Now I tell newly weds not to delay having babies.
    Another thing I would stress here… babies don’t come to us when we want, they come when They want. So the whole contraception thing always doesn’t work FOR us. Even after the use is stopped [no matter what form!!! ] it may take years to conceive, even though there is no problem as such. This has been an experience with quite a few of my friends.

  47. Padmaja says:

    Hey Anamika…my wishes are coming somewhat late …
    Hearty Congratulations to you,your hubby and both families for the new bundle of joy ! Smile God bless your little princess!

    And a beautiful post! I am yet to experience all this…but can very much feel every word of yours…actually, I feel pity for the new moms who get back to their jobs almost immediately leaving their little ones with their respective moms or family members…these moments are to be cherished for life…these are the moments which make you realise there is a little special one in life who changed your life forever…

    Congrats once again and Happy Motherhood! Smile
