This is not an easy month as it seems to be.
On a positive side, there were no naseaus or giddiness for the past one month, except for one occasion, where I almost fainted because of low insulin level, else, everything is good. On the negative side, I have been having tummy pain, especially on the lower left rib area for the last 2 weeks. The pain can be so acute that it can affect your movements. Being 1st time mother, I started to get paranoid "Did something happened to the baby?" Or is it my body posture? Laying side way helps to eliminate the pain, but it ends in neck ache. Sitting face up, with back support, is not helpful, as there is continual strain in the tummy area. Thus, this month the challenge is on the tummy. Sigh...
I had dreams of miscarriage on 2 occasions too which I realised that such dreams denote anxiety and fear. This maybe correctly depicts my current state of emotions. It is not easy for a woman to be pregnant. On a positive side, it is a happy and joyous occasion of the arrival of a new life, something to celebrate, something to rejoice. On a negative side, the woman has a great responsibility of ensuring the new life stays healthy and carry the pregnancy through.
Well, someone said this to me. "Don't stress yourself by thinking of pregnancy as a negative thing. It is all in the mind. Pregnancy is a joyous occasion, make yourself happy."
That is some truth in it, though...
