It’s the
beginning of the 10th month now and the baby will be out any
moment!!! Yes, I am anxious and happy at the same time. No more will I have to
carry this big round bump everywhere. I am sad too. Besides all the love and
care that is showered throughout the day, I am gonna miss a million things post
the pregnancy phase:
What I love
the most is the tingling in my tummy that began after five months...This
tingling will go away. There will no one in my tummy. I had a habit of talking
to the baby anywhere and everywhere, to the amusement of the people staring at
me. Once the baby is out, I won’t be able to amuse people with my random
musings.
It is
fabulous to know that a life is breathing inside when you are pregnant. I was
way too cautious what I heard, talked, ate and thought about. Now, I will be
the same old brat.
The
incessant kicks post eating something good. Yes, my baby has the same taste as
mine. Both of us like the same kind of foods.
The resolve
only to eat healthy food for a healthy baby will be gone now. Now, once again I
will eye those noodles and fill my tummy and yes, what about that cuppa coffee
I had bid goodbye to.
My huge
tummy that makes it presence felt first. Yes, wherever I went, people gave way
to me and my tummy. I didn’t have to say ‘excuse me’. Just a smile and thank
you was enough most of the times.
No one
judges me for a bad fashion sense. After all, pregnant women do not have much
option. Sometimes they do but they can easily make an excuse.
All the
excuses in the name of cravings. Frankly speaking, I had no cravings. Or the
other way round, I had cravings since the day I was born, so in that sense, I
had no special pregnancy craving. I just made people run for my favourite food
which I was not able to do before pregnancy.
Advice of
aunty, grandma, sister, husband, momma and everyone. People trying to make
conversations with me and asking me a thing or two will be missed for sure.
A keen
scrutiny of all the names in the world for choosing the best one. This will
have a separate post in the blog. During pregnancy, I used to ask kids their
names and think whether it will suit my baby.
Changing the
television channel to skip the bad things. Yes, I didn’t watch shows laden with
abusive language and such things.
And
obviously the much hyped pregnancy glow. Yes, I felt a shade or two lighter and
a ton or two heavier during pregnancy. But, I felt very good throughout. My
skin was smiling and my hair blushing. What more does one need yaa???
