Pregnancy

Pregnancy can be one of life's most exciting and fulfilling adventures. A healthy mom and healthy baby--that's the goal for every pregnancy. Sometimes this is easy, sometimes it requires intensive efforts by the mother, her physicians, her nurses, other health care givers, family members and newborn child's physicians. However, its the most natural phase a woman has to face to bring new life into this world .



My pregnancy
--------------

I got married at the age of 18...now ,all u girls ..stop popping your eyes out..i neither belonged to the age of the "maharajas" nor to any tribal cult... It was just a game played by my destiny....a game where i only won !! so,no repenting on that ! ...

Anyway...when i got pregnant in my final year of btech..at the age of 20...i never panicked for once. The entire credit goes to my mom who put up with all my pregnancy tantrums and the weird mood-swings. I was always looking forward to have a nice and healthy baby...and as it turned out to be, my first-born was weighing more than 3.8kgs... 3 weeks before my EDD.(thats...Expected Delivery Date...for all u starter moms).. So ,the doctor panicked..again not me..and suggested me to have a delivery through a caesaran as little Teju didnt want to trouble mommy dearest. There's a little twist to his birth....i chose his bday to be Feb29th....that being the leap year....i wanted something special to happen to me and my child..and the leap year was just an added blessing (we never know if he would fight with me later on for not having his bday every single year..well,that can be dealt later ) . That was my first born, Sri Vishnu Tej.

Anuj ....as the name suggests...is my second son...and his birth is definitely worth a story. I conceieved him when i was desperate to hold a little baby girl in my hands...bcoz..little Teju was already showing up on his dad's side..and the male domination in my house was over-bearing. This happened when we were in Singapore...and life was suddenly looking very very bright and smooth...when the doctor confirmed that i will give birth to a cute girl. My husband was overjoyed...i couldnt ask for more and Teju couldnt understand anything (he was just 18 months)....That being the situation of my family , I went on a shopping spree ...doing my pre-natal shopping...giving a pretext that welcoming a girl is a lot of work. I had everything in pink...the clothes,the toys, u name it !! Also, a burning topic was selecting the name . All sorts of suggestions were pouring in and we were just exhausted with the list . And then the twist arrives in the form of Anuj....a baby boy !! Dont know why God played this trick...but his magic worked for me....I just realized that the sex of the baby is just as important as an ordinary day in our life.Seriously, after the baby is born...you never care if its a boy or a girl....its just your entire days and nights are wound up into one single purpose - Motherhood .

There's no stopping to that !!
