A Gift from God

God's Gift

At 6 Months- October 10, 2012

This afternoon, while I'm watching TV, I am surprised by the sudden movement of my baby, though it is painful, I'm so happy because i know that my baby is alive and healthy. Then I tell that right away to my husband. My husband is so amazed, so he quickly put his hands on my belly and wanted to feel it also... How happy I am to feel my baby moving, this is perhaps what they call as "a gift from above." Now, I happily accept to myself that I am going to be a mother soon...

Another Sort of Loneliness

At 5 Months

Loneliness during Pregnancy

One evening, I was so worried because when I went to our comfort room to take a pee, I unconsciously pressed my tummy with my left leg where the feet of my baby situated. Suddenly, I felt that my baby got hurt so he/she shook his/her legs due to pain and I also felt the pain within this area. I didn't know what to do and again, my worries about the situation got increase. Up to the point of having distress and a sort of loneliness that I couldn't explain. In order to reduce it, I cried and voiced it out to my husband whose at that time understood my feelings. My husband told me that I should never be lonely or feel worry because it will affect our baby so instead of crying as he said, I should take a time to relax and think that our baby is in good condition and far from any defects. Perhaps it was a part of pregnancy and we both prayed to God Jehovah to protect our baby which is still in my womb.

Food Craving

At 4 Months

Food Craving

After the first trimester of my pregnancy, I feel more comfortable since some of the complains I had before is now decreasing... Seldom, I experience pain in my stomach and I vomit but not as serious as before. My usual way of eating is also different now, I wanted to eat more and more that I can't stop myself from craving for food... I only want Tilapia fish and beans every morning. While everybody in the house is so tired of eating that kind of food but if you ask me, I am not.. I eagerly want it, it gives me strength and refreshment in the whole day. If I wasn't able to eat it, my body feels weak. So, I always request it to my husband... and my husband understands me.

Problems Caused by Pregnancy

At 3 Months

Pregnancy Problems

Days passed by and my feelings become more sensitive. I always feel dizzy and everytime, I vomit. My stomach is always troubled and I think I get ulcer already. I become acidic, so everytime I eat, my tummy gets hurt that's why I sometimes rush into the hospital. My husband is so worried about my situation, as a result, he is sometimes refraining from going to work in order to send me to the hospital. Though I have this situation, I am so thankful because my husband is always there to care and to support me. And the best reason I have is my baby... He/she gives me a reason to be strong and to be happy.

Worries Turn to Happiness

July 3, 2012

Happy Mommy

I am so happy because this time 8:00 in the evening, my baby moves faster and kicks again. I thought that something had happen to my baby yesterday until this morning... I cried so much because I was so worried about my baby that he/she might be affected by any complications due to my abnormal vowel movement. But as I said earlier, my baby is okay now... That's why I can't explain my feelings now as a mother but I'm so sure that these feelings are caused by "happiness," knowing that my baby is in good condition...

Worries in Pregnancy

July 2, 2012

Last night, my tummy was so painful because of not having a normal vowel. That was why I wasn't able to sleep well. I also felt that my baby was affected. This morning I can't feel the movement of my baby inside my womb. I have so many anticipations about what happen to my baby. Perhaps he/she is sick or maybe he/she is tired of moving and moving yesterday. I am so worried and even my tears fall since we, my husband and I, don't want our baby to be harmed. 
For that reason, I eat nutritious foods that are essential for my baby's development and health. And we are observing him/her now... We are praying to our God Jehovah for the protection of our baby.

9 Weeks - The Essence of Fatherhood

I feel that my baby kicks slowly and slowly in my womb. It hurts but I am so happy because it only means that my baby is healthy.My husband is also very happy since he realizes that there is already a new life in my womb which is a product of our love...

I saw my husband cry due to happiness because it's his first time to experience the feeling of becoming a father. As he said, it's a "mixed emotions," excited, happy, and he also now feels the significance of being a responsible father.
