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

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.

Changes due to Pregnancy

June 19, 2012

I notice some changes in my body due to pregnancy, my breasts start to swell and my nipples are getting obvious. I also notice that I get hungry every 2 to 3 hours which is not normally occur to a woman like me. I feel pain in my stomach and my womb gets hurt whenever I can't eat in time. I realize that my baby is so voracious. No I'm just kidding, actually I am so happy that there is life in my womb though it's too difficult for me to adjust.

Limitations due to Pregnancy

June 16, 2012

My husband starts washing clothes again in order to finish it before going to work. He has work this evening so he's so busy to finish all the tasks assigned by me before 6 o'clock. I feel sorry for him but I can't do those jobs because this is a complicated month for me, if I will not be careful it will be dangerous for my baby. I'm so thankful because my husband is so considerate, he loves me very much and he doesn't want me to become tired of doing anything because he said that I am pregnant. I know that he is so concern of me and to our future baby... Hence, this is the reason why I also love him so much. "Hmm, I recall that I did these things the whole day: eat, rest, sit, relax, walk a little and talk a few." If you think what I'm doing, so gladdening but actually so stressing...

Adaptation Towards Pregnancy

June 15, 2012

Because of the continues pain caused by pregnancy, I can't do a heavy tasks at home such as washing clothes and lifting huge things. That's why my husband take in charge of those tasks. This day, my husband washes our clothes while I am in the middle of sleep due to stress of my system's adaptation towards pregnancy. I felt loved and cared since my husband understands me and he doesn't want me to become tired.

My First Pregnancy Test

June 12, 2012

This is my first time to take a pregnancy test, and the result is... "Positive." I was already 15 days delayed. That is why I experienced dizziness, vomiting, and I also feel that there is something beating in my womb.

My Own Journey

(First Trimester)

Is my Baby a boy or a girl? That is the question that comes into my mind when I first knew that I am pregnant...

Getting Ready to be Pregnant

Preparing to get Pregnant

I know what you're thinking.

Getting pregnant is not that easy. At least for some. Some woman can get pregnant as soon as they engage with their partner while some waited lifetime just to conceive. One out of six couples has difficulty conceiving but that doesn't necessarily mean we'll never have a baby.


Three of us on our group got married. Two of my friends talked about getting pregnant as soon as they got married but years has passed and none of them succeeded. Actually 1 of my friend got married more than 3 years ago but she already had a 15 year old daughter from her previous relationship. She got married again 3 years ago but until now nothing happens. They are still doing their best and their getting some advice from their doctors and advice from some friends on how. I don't really know if their taking some medicines or drinking some herbal products to increase their chances.


In my case, we planned to have our own baby after a year and we never thought of taking birth control methods so it's perfectly fine for us if I got pregnant right away since our parents are expecting a new grandchild from us. It's been a year and we still don't have any signs. So what should we do?


My husband's best friend advice him that if you really wanted to have a baby then you have to abstain for at least one week before we engage.


Is it really effective? What do you think?

Possibilities of Conception

My journey will start from conceiving.

How?

Conceiving

I know what you think? But it is not that simple.

What is Pregnancy first of all?
In Bible's view, pregnancy is the condition of having conceived and having the unborn offspring within the mother’s body. By his command to Adam and Eve from Genesis 1:28, “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth,” Jehovah God indicated that pregnancy was to be part of the woman’s normal role from the beginning. But as I wrote before we have problem.
No, my husband is not impotent. Yes he has the capacity to engage. Maybe the sperm count thing? We do not know yet. It could be me? Getting pregnant could be complicated. Some couples are dying to have a baby. Right now if Jehovah God permits we would like to have one. We are praying that we could have our own baby or babies(because there is a chance that we could have twins) not just taking care of our niece.


Good thing my husband has health insurance so we decided to go to one of the accredited laboratory and conducted his Annual Physical Examination. After many hours, he is done and right now we are still waiting for the results. We are very eager to see the result and we are praying and hoping that there is no problem.


So is there any chance for me to become pregnant?

What do you think?

Planning for Pregnancy

Plans on getting pregnant

Me and my husband are planning to have a baby.
We've been married for a year but we are planning to have a baby on our first anniversary.
So we are very much excited! But there is a problem...

My husband had a previous relationship and they live-in for 13 long years but his ex never got pregnant for some reason. We wanted to consult a doctor and have some test but he is hesitating. He said that he is fine and there is no problem with him. Impotency might be one of the problem? Does he need medicines for impotency?

For one year, we wanted to enjoy ourselves being just the 2 of us. Going to the mall, watching movies, going to the park like other couples do when they are still courting. But time passes by. I wanted to be pregnant. We wanted to have a baby. We envy those couple pushing their stroller while the baby is laughing her heart out inside while looking around.

Who Am I

Hello

My name is Mei and I am 23 years old by now when i am writing this blog.
My husband and I got married last year and we are almost celebrating our first anniversary.

For some I am still young to bear a child but for many I am on the right age to get pregnant and bear a child. What do you think?
For me it is not about age. It is about you, the bearer of the child, if you are ready to get pregnant or not. It is really up to you, though some factor may affect conception or having the unborn offspring in your womb.

Talking about age, how young a woman be pregnant?
You will be shock to know that the youngest mother in the world that bears a child is 5 years and 7 months old only! Her name is Lina Vanessa Medina, from the hamlet of Antacancha (village Ticrapo, near Pauranga), Huancavelica region, 55 miles Northeast of Pisco in Peru, born on September 27, 1933.

The Journey

Pregnancy is the reason why men so thankful that they were not born girl. Why?

Have you been in a very long journey that last for few days carrying a heavy load? How about for 274 days or more?
That is the number of days a woman should carry a child in her belly. It is the normal cycle of pregnancy.

For me it is a blessing but for some it is a curse...


Why is it a curse?

I will answer that question from day to day basis on this blog so I hope I can help those pregnant women like me.


First of all is Why women are at risk?

ACCORDING to the United Nations Population Fund, each year more than half a million women die of pregnancy-related causes. In addition, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) notes that annually more than 60 million women suffer acute complications from pregnancy and that nearly a third of these sustain lifelong injuries or infections. In developing countries many women are trapped in a cycle of pregnancies, deliveries, and self-neglect, leaving them worn out and ill. Yes, pregnancy can be harmful—even dangerous. Is there anything a woman can do to make her pregnancy safer?
