Many things about pregnancy kept me wondering and one of them was why 9 months? Why shall we wait for 9 months? Why can’t we have baby in just few days? Why the duration is exactly 9 months, neither 8 nor 10. In fact 10 is round figure!!!

During my pregnancy my mind asked these questions many times and by the end of the pregnancy I got the answer from my heart which I would like to share with you…..

Depends on the feeling and state of each month I gave them a Name.

First Month Unknown Phase: Most of the time you are not aware of your pregnancy in this month and so I named it Unknown Phase. By the end of this month your body will start sending you sign but till that nothing is sure. Even doctors can’t confirm your pregnancy until you enters in second month!!!

Second Month Time for Surprise: This month will reveal the truth of your pregnancy. Congratulations and thus I would like to call this month as Time for Surprise. If you are not ready for the baby then this can be shock for you but trust me whether you are ready or not, 9 months duration is perfect for you to make your mind to accept this precious gift. So even if this is your unplanned baby please have patience and take the decision.

Third Month Struggling Time: Your pregnancy is confirmed but still you have to take extra care of your body and baby as chances of miscarriages are really high in first three months. And that’s why this is struggling month. Your baby struggles to get a new life and you struggle to bring and accept her in this new world. I remember I was so desperate about a baby girl in first 3 months that I thought if it would be a boy I won’t be able to accept him!!!

Forth Month Time for Blush and Bliss: First three months risk is gone and now you are ready to declare your pregnancy. You are ready to share your perfect bliss with your family and friends.

Fifth Month Relaxing Phase: By the end of forth month most of your pregnancy problems like morning sickness nausea abdominal pain will go. You will be free from the worry of your baby’s life as you already hear her heartbeats. And that’s why I call this month Relaxing Phase (free from pain and worry).

Sixth Month Feel the Touch: By the end of fifth month Baby will inform you her presence by light kick but mostly you will identify that in sixth month and that’s why I named it Feel the Touch …. First time you will feel the touch of your baby and I know how much emotional moment is it. Enjoy the touch and feel the love.

Seventh Month Time to Plan: Now tiny tots will snatch your heart and mind. Babies and baby items are enough to divert your attention. Go for tiny tots window shopping but don’t buy anything in this month. Think how your nursery should look like, get review for your selected baby items and plan with the proper wish list or else you will surely end up with extra expenses. Watch wish think and plan to welcome your baby in your family and world.

Eighth Month Have fun with Shop: Now this is time for you to implement your plan into action.  Shop your wish list and prepare nursery for your baby. It’s beautiful feeling to imagine, shop and fulfill your dream.

Ninth Month Exciting wait State: This month is tiresome as well as you will be eagerly waiting for your baby. You are losing your patience and may count remaining days. But at the same time excitement will increase by the each day passed and so I named it Exciting wait state.
