How Did I Feel

1st MONTH: Banglaore, March 2008

Today (16th March) I did home pregnancy test and guess what? It was positive. I actually didn’t know how I felt, but I surely remembered that my heart was beating faster and harder. I showed that test to Chetan and we were so happy.

But the feeling was blissful. Just to be sure, I repeated the tests next morning and the result was same. We were very happy that you were coming into your life to make it brighter.

We both were so excited that we wanted to convey this news to everybody but we controlled ourselves and decided that we will inform every body only when first trimester gets over.

On 18th March 2008, we had planned a holiday to Mumbai to meet Aayi, Chinky, Punit and some relatives and friends. This trip was important because Chetan was visiting Mumbai with me after 2 years. Last, he visited Mumbai was for our reception – 22 February 2006.

We had loads of fun in Mumbai. We rested, we met relatives, friends etc. We went for shopping, movies, coffee, sat at marine drive with Vyoma, bought some books, traveled by train, and ate Mumbai’s famous bun maska pav with tapri Chai. Total Masti.

In Mumbai, I informed Chinky about my baby. She was very happy almost head over heels. The feeling was nice.

As soon as we reach Bangalore, we dumped our bags and we visited the doctor and she calculated baby age – only 5 weeks. Wow! She asked us to do a scan between 5-10 April 2008.

As per the books and the Internet research, you won’t imagine how small you are inside me – Almost a size of an apple seed. We even bought a book for help and special tips – What to expect when you are expecting.

But the most difficult part of pregnancy was morning sickness, which actually should be called as whole day sickness. I keep throwing up every single thing that I ate then, sometimes, even water. I used to get up in the morning by say – 5am, 4 am, 6am only to puke. It was really difficult. This entire vomiting thing used to make me feel so weak.

Chetan used to buy veggies and fruits from the market, used to fold clothes, help me pack my tiffin. He is really the best! So caring, so loving. I am blessed to have him as my life partner.

I have realized that been pregnant is the one of the most beautiful feeling in the whole world. Of course 9 months is too long to wait but anything for my dearest baby.
