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.
