I believe that anything can be right if we can express that in a right way! Then how can we neglect to express our feelings to say “I Am going to have a Baby”. I remember when I was expecting, I wanted to climb up “Eiffel Tower” and scream “I am expecting” well couldn’t do that of course!! But yes there was something that I could do and that too was enough to express my emotions. Are you confused how to reveal your pregnancy to your partner?  Then here I am sharing my favorite way to announce “I Am Pregnant”:

Whenever I think to surprise my husband, I prefer to start with food as I believe men are food lover. So here you go with a magical dinner date:

1.  Most of the time I prefer to cook, not because I like to cook but because I feel compare to restaurant we can have better ambiance (of our choice) at home. If cooking is not your cup of tea you can order food from outside.
2. Cook or order the dishes start with baby like baby corn, baby potato, baby tomato etc. Don’t forget to use baby plates (small plates) to serve it.
3. Choose table cover which has prints of baby or baby items, easily available in any party store or online and economic too.
4. Stick a collage of baby photos on the wall of your dining room. Even a big photo can work and if you will ask my choice I will say stick kids plates (which are really available in pretty much good design).
5. Decorate your chair and table border with kid’s clothes or kid’s items.
6. Find baby names using a combination of both parent name (For example if parents name are “RUshi” and “megHA” you can get “RUHA”). Write down couple of them on decorative paper and use it to wrap chocolates. Make it as an attraction of table.
7. Don’t forget to wear baby pink clothes with baby pink nail police and lipstick. Trust me you will look like a baby doll in this get up.

 And now be ready to surprise your hubby with a sparkling smile and wait your hubby to guess the occasion.

 Life is to Live lively and so I feel “we should capture as much fun and memory as we can from every single moment” And pregnancy gives us all the reasons to enjoy and celebrate our days………..

Have a wonderful beginning would be mummy!!!

When something new happens to your body, your body reacts and that is known as signs or symptoms. Sometimes your body reacts so early and sometimes your body doesn’t react much, this depends on individuals. Lots of hormonal changes occur during Pregnancy and so when you conceive, your body tells you that by one way or another. The reminder could be as early as a week or as late as 3 to 4 months (especially when your periods are not regular). Here I will discuss most common signs / symptoms where your chances of pregnancy are high or in simple words I can say these are the signs that say “You Are Pregnant.”

1.  Lower abdominal pain: You may feel little pain in your lower abdominal while working, cooking or cleaning. And if you will lay down for 10-15 mins it will go. This is on and off pain. If you will continue your work it will increase and if you will take rest it will go. Solution is take rest whenever you feel pain is going to start. Don’t wait to reach it at its highest. As soon as you will take rest as soon as it will go.
2. Tender or darker breast: Most common and initial sign is sore breast. You may feel little tenderness and if you check your breast, their color seems darker. This is the sign that your breast are getting ready for the new phase.
3.  Dizziness or fainting : This may sounds little bit filmy but trust me this happens too. The reason is low blood pressure or low sugar level which is very common during pregnancy. Nothing much to do just eat well and take rest. This won’t persist longer.
4. Weakness: If you think nothing has changed in your routine and you are perfectly healthy and still feeling tired or weak then it’s an initial stage of your pregnancy. No need to worry, what you need to do is just “Slow Down” and things will be settled soon.
5.  Morning sickness : You may feel nausea or vomits in the morning or in afternoon or in the evening. Bad thing is “its called morning sickness but can be at any time of the day!” You may feel strong smell of food even if you are not cooking and few things you just can’t cook or you just can’t eat. This is very common issue for all the would be mummy and the solution is time. Avoid cooking or eating those dishes for some times. Don’t worry this won’t last more than 2 to 3 months.
6.  Frequent urination: If you notice, your frequency of urination is increased especially after evening. You may wake up at night for pee which is unlike you and there may be little difficulty in controlling, you want to go means you have to go. You may feel how suddenly my bladder becomes so small!!! Well nothing to worry just take a deep breath and accept the change.
7.  Mood swing: This is the most difficult thing to handle. You may be very happy and somehow you hear a word from your husband (which of course not new for you) but you blast!!! A simple small mistake of your husband (or friends or colleagues or relatives) is enough to make you hurt or even cry and at the same time a normal gesture of your husband (or friends or colleagues or relatives) can make you happy really very very happy…..Everything  for you is extreme like very happy very excited very bored very sad………I know difficult to handle but you have to deal with this. You are very emotional at this stage and any one anywhere can hurt you or heal you. What you need to do is 1. Accept it. 2. Don’t regret it’s normal. 3. Read books or articles on pregnancy. 4. Talk to your partner and friends about it. 5. Try some meditation or relaxing techniques. 
8.  Craving for specific food: you may have a dream of eating chocolate cake at 1 AM in the morning and you wake up by feeling like I want to eat chocolate cake right now!!! Well little childish but that happens. During day time also your taste is changed. You may like to eat the things which you never had before just because that’s not your choice or you may leave to eat your favorite dishes. Well that’s what your body demands. Feed your body whatever and whenever it asks and slowly it will go. Very common especially in first 3 months of pregnancy after that it will settle down slowly. Will come again in last month of pregnancy. Enjoy this as this is the time to treat yourself.
9. You may miss your Period: This is very important part of pregnancy but pregnancy is not the only reason of delay or miss in cycle. As well as even though you are pregnant there may be case that you are getting your period (minimum discharge or may be normal one) don’t forget to visit your gynecologist in this case.
10. Positive pregnancy test: This is the test which confirms your pregnancy. Easily available in any medical stores as well as very comfortable. Most of the times accurate too. If it shows “you are pregnant” Don’t forget to visit a doctor.

It seems you are having really bad time, humm but trust me these are just timely (on and off) things. Most of the things will be in place after your first trimester. Accept the change and enjoy it. Every change has its own pros and cons once you will learn how to deal with these small things (and I am sure you will ) you will be ready for something exciting  really really exciting!!!!!!!!!!

Well these are just symptoms; nothing is confirmed without medical checkups.

Congratulations would be mummy!!!!!!

My husband was settling bill at the counter and I was sitting on a bench next to the exit door, really tired of shopping and thinking about check list what’s done and what’s remaining when an old lady smiled and took the seat next to me. She started conversation by “congratulations you are going to have a baby. That’s really great. You know I too have 4 kids and now one of my daughters also has a kid who is 2 years old. You know you look really pretty and ….” (I couldn’t hear rest) because a word pretty surprised me as I couldn’t sleep at nights due to pregnancy, tired of vomiting and lower abdominal pain and now had dark circles too and this lady was telling me pretty…..my mind was so disturb so I couldn’t react on anything and just whispered the word “pretty” and she smiled again and said “yes sweetie you are pretty you know sometimes pain comes for pleasure and this one is one of them. Right now you are tired frustrated due to pain and thinking of your body so you can’t see how pretty you are but when you will hold your baby for the first time and look into her eyes you will able to understand the real meaning of pretty and you will see yourself as a most beautiful mother in world.”

Well I listened to her carefully because I had nothing to do other than waiting for my husband and second is she was really speaking something that I wanted to hear about me. since long every one use to ask me how’s health looks weak etc. etc. and she was the first one telling me how pretty I am and how I will be……I couldn’t say much at that time other than “Thank you so much for your wise words.” We were done so I said bye and left the shop.

After that many times I checked myself in mirror and thought of the word pretty but didn’t get it correctly. Finally it was a day when I delivered my little one and when doc put her on my tummy for the first time her soft hands were touching my body and her sparkling eyes were searching something. The first sentence I spoke to myself was “Really pain comes for pleasure”  I was never been so happy so much satisfied and forgot about doctor who was still working on stitching and I thought yes that lady was talking about this happiness.  Now I wasn’t worried about my pain I wasn’t worried about my stretch marks and I wasn’t worried about anything in the whole world I was just in her and looking at her and looking at her……………….

Well with my experience I just want to say that your kid will help you to bring out your best and that best will be really incredible. You won’t believe but you will be more loving more caring more patient more responsible and more happy too. This may be your first or second or third trimester but would be mummy don’t ever think that you will not be so beautiful now on as now you can see how beautiful you are not only in your husband’s eyes but in the eyes of your baby for whom you will be the most beautiful and prettiest lady in whole world and that’s not wrong too after all beauty comes from heart not from body.
