We all are aware of how much the covid-19 has scarred us in the last year, and it’s not over yet. It's more than a
year, and the second layer of covid is damn more dangerous than the time it
started. It has affected people both physically and mentally.
So, Today! Let’s take out some time “To
thank the power of the universe and being grateful to God” for
showering his blessings upon us.
First, be calm and sit in a quiet
environment.
Take a deep breath and make yourself
calm.
Forget everything for a while and
just bring all your focus to the things for which you are grateful.
Have you heard about Affirmations?
Affirmations are a great way to think positively in any situation. It can help
the mother turn negative feelings related to pregnancy into positive ones. You
can practice it any time of the day, but with full positive intention and turning
them into actual beliefs over me. Let’s try out some positive affirmations.
For Expecting mothers,
it could be like:
I accept the positive changes in my
body.
I am healthy
My pregnant body is beautiful.
My baby is perfectly healthy.
Thank you, God, for the fetus
heartbeat.
Thank you universe for the positive
vibes.
Thank you universe for all the
healing powers.
I am grateful to God for the positive
changes.
I am grateful to my family for their
unconditional love.
I am grateful to my gynecologist for
the guidance.
I am grateful to my parents for being
with me always.
I am grateful for everyone around me.
I am grateful to my husband for
always supporting me.
You can keep on adding to the list
and making your affirmations. Just do it with the power of intention. Feel it.
To get the best out of it, you can click the picture. You can use it on your
phone wallpaper or the desk or in the kitchen etc. where it’s the most visible.
This will help you in rewiring your brain and helps in reducing stress and
anxiety.
Since now, you are carrying one more
life in you. It's important for expecting mothers to feel happy both inside and
outside.
If a mother is cheerful and in a calm
state, it has a positive impact on the fetus.
Don't forget, the unborn can feel all
your emotions inside.
So, let's do a little visualization
by being in a peaceful state.
Allow yourself to take a break, at
least for a minimum of 5 minutes.
Just be comfortable.
Let me ask you a question, “Do you
talk to your unborn child”?
Just imagine and start trying to talk
to the fetus.
Mother: How are you, my baby?
The Fetus: I'm rocking Mumma. Hope
you're cool too.
Mother: So, how are you feeling now?
The Fetus: feeling fabulous to see
you relaxed Mumma.
Mother: Do you like all the food
served by me to you?
The Fetus: yes Mumma! except for the
spicy food.
Mother: What makes you happy?
The Fetus: when you're singing, painting,
writing, laughing, cooking and dancing, etc., and doing what keeps you happy,
makes me happy too.
So, what do you understand by the
above conversation between the mother and the unborn baby?
The unborn can listen to you and can
feel your emotions well.
The above conversation
between a mother and the unborn baby helps in strengthening the bond. Now, let
us go deeper with Visualization, which means it has the power to
turn the mindset into a positive and the desired situation where we want to be.
You can imagine that you are
already holding your baby in your hands. You feel a sense of both excitement
and nervousness. You feel overwhelmed. You
are just observing those tiny fingers, tiny toes, and how beautiful the baby
is.
The baby has taken all the stress
away and just started giggling with you. The baby is looking into your eyes and
trying to interact with you. It feels so good when the baby makes sounds like
coo-coo and trying to involve us.
What can you observe from the baby’s
eyes? Just focus…
Thanks, Mumma! “for bringing me
healthy into this world.
I am excited to walk on the path of
my life with you, papa, dada, dadi, nana, nani, and everyone.
Mumma, please don't get irritated, it
makes me feel sad. Now, I have come into yours and papa's life to make your
world beautiful and full of laughter. We are going to have fun every minute.
Hahaha! Be ready to experience the roller-coaster ride.
Just keep sitting at the moment for
some time. Observe your baby more. Talk to the baby. Convey your messages. Give
your blessings.
Slowly, move your toes and fingers.
Now, stroke your hands and place them on your eyes.
You can open your eyes now.
Hope you’re feeling refreshed and
more energetic now.

C- C-SECTION VS NORMAL DELIVERY

We all are aware of the term
‘Depression’ means a serious medical illness. It affects negatively how we
respond to the situation and faces a lot of issues like loss of interest, and
losing appetite, etc. It causes a feeling of sadness for a long period if
untreated well.
But are we aware of “postpartum
depression (PPD)”? Postpartum means the time after childbirth. This mostly
occurs in a new mother just after giving childbirth. There are so many hormonal
changes going on in a women’s body that take time to settle.
Having a newborn can be overwhelmed,
but it is stressful too. No matter how much you’re excited for the moment to
laugh and to make a bond with the baby, they demand a lot of attention.
Considering the sleep deprivation, extra responsibilities, back pain, and mood
swings, etc. New mothers are mostly on roller coaster rides. They forget to
give some time to themselves, which develops the risk of postpartum depression
if not treated well.
There are a few delivery days when a
mother cannot cope up with the pressure of handling the newborn. There
is a weakness in her she cannot manage. A mother might not feel as
normal as she feels otherwise. She might feel irritable because of the
breastfeeding issues or the pressure caused by the family or any relatives, etc.
During earlier days, a mother also
faces issues like insomnia, losing appetite and, baby blues, etc. In this
way, she might lose her confidence as well because of the excess weight gain
just after the delivery. She needs someone to listen to her but all are guiding
her during that stage which is developing postpartum depression.
What're the ways to overcome it?
This mild depression mostly stays a minimum for 1 month and can be exceeded for a long time if not treated well. It
becomes the duty of a mother too, not to hide anything from her husband/family
members and vice versa. A husband/family member plays the best role here, where
they can take care of the baby while the mother is sleeping. So, she can sleep
peacefully and wake up fresh.

One must know these three alarming
stages before the delivery:
It was 09:00 pm on 8th Feb 2019. The
pain was not much as it should be after getting a lot of high-level
doses of injections. When the gynecologist finally asked us to wait for one hour
more and if the pain is not there. The team would go for a c-section. The head
of the baby wasn’t in the right position and was not attempting to come out.
The doctor instructed us clearly that it could be risky for the baby if we waited
for more than an hour. Because the water was leaking and it could be risky for
the baby.
We had less time to decide. After some
time, we all went for C-section. I wasn’t able to bear the minor pain when it started.
I felt overwhelmed. After a moment, the
baby met her father and the grandparents. It thrilled them with a lot of
emotions. I had tears of joy when first; I saw my little princess. Aww! She
looked just like me. How the soul has grown properly inside the womb and has
come out properly with a healthy body. They took her to the Incubator, where
babies are under proper observation.
I always heard the statement, “Blessed
are the ones whose first child is a daughter”. I never believed in this because
I am also a first-child to my parents, but I always thought of having an elder
brother who could guide me to certain things. But I was wrong. I believed in
the statement when my first kid is a daughter only.
Yes! It’s rightly said by someone that
it’s not about the gender of the baby. Both are equally important and have
their role in a parent's life. It’s not about the boy or girl every time, but
it’s about a child who should be born healthy. Ask the parents who’re blessed
with two daughters in their life. As we all are aware of how our mind is when
we talk about genders. Over 70% want their first child as a boy. I am not
criticizing anyone who thinks that way.
Here, the primary motive to convey my
message is, let us understand it via an example. In the USA, they reveal the
gender of the baby after 3 months. And soon-to-be-parents feel blessed to have
a baby. But, in India, this is not the case.
Not all Indian parents think the same
way. There are a few parents who appreciate and welcome the first child as a girl
happily. We as parents need to assure that our girls are not less than boys,
even they are much better.
