A life nurturing inside you...congrats you are pregnant!! Planned or unplanned, the very second you realize that you are pregnant, you may experience a myriad of emotions. While planned pregnancy may bring an end to your wait along with a sense of achievement; unplanned can throw you in for a sweet surprise. Whatever it may be one thing for sure is that it is just the start of a roller coaster ride ahead.
Motherhood is best enjoyed from the time one is pregnant but due to the uncertain time we are going through, currently many pregnant women are experiencing a lot of negative emotions like fear, anxiety, depression, unease to name a few. Remember always that once you are at the verge of becoming mother you are already strong and each day as you get closer to meeting your little one you only have to develop your strength and positivity.
To all the lovely would be mommies, if you have become pregnant amidst pandemic please stop over thinking at first. Something as precious as the nine months of nurturing a life inside you shouldn’t be spent in distress. Due to the present scenario some amount of stress is seen in everyone and that is fine to a stage where you are careful in taking precautions and keeping yourself safe.
From my personal experience of delivering child when the Covid-19 crisis was at its peak and some discussions with fellow mommies, I have collated few tips to help you keep positive and going good in your pregnancy journey.
Focus on pregnancy
A lot is going on around you and inside you.
Lots of negative news to bombard your brains so refrain from watching news and forward messages all the time. They unnecessarily occupy your brain space. It is important to be aware of what is happening in the world and around you but the amount and intensity of absorbing totally depends on you!
Instead focus on the inside part – your pregnancy.
Develop good routines
The routines you follow now will not only have an impact on your health in the coming days but also on your foetus. For ex. a lot of mothers these days complain of babies not wanting to sleep at night on time. Hyper activeness in babies is attributed to the fact that their mothers were also not following a proper sleep schedule during pregnancy. As per your schedule develop and maintain good routines right from the start of pregnancy.
Never be your own doctor
Hormones are rapidly changing inside you making adjustments in your body continuously to support your developing foetus. This can result in aversion to certain foods, excessive hunger, acidity, weakness, headache, sleeplessness and tiredness especially in the first trimester. Do not google a lot and try to be your own doctor. Instead do the following:
Preparation for delivery
Prepare for your delivery well in advance so that there is no last moment rush.
Lastly just love yourself. Enjoy your womanhood, enjoy your motherhood. Embrace yourself. Each moment of pregnancy is like you and only your baby. You both are one now and you surely going to miss her kicks once she is out. So create good memories and cherish each moment until you house your baby inside your belly.
