We now had a very tough decision to make -selecting a midwife , who would not only help me deliver my baby but would be guiding me throughout my pregnancy..
Hence began the hunt for a perfect midwife.. We both had different ideas. My husband wanted someone very knowledgeable and experienced to handle his precious baby and wife.. On the other hand I wanted someone who would just be nice to talk to and understanding of my doubts and fears.. Needless to say, we picked the most knowledgeable and most experienced one. Luckily she did understand me and explained to me that I was not the first one with fears.. It was very normal.. Yay that was music to my ears.. I was not an odd one.. I could see my life changing, my body changing.. I felt different, I even smelt different .. Junk food was getting replaced by healthy food, fruits and nuts replaced my dear muffins.. I had to find the right balance.. I was told to get good rest, not to exert but not be to lazy either..I had to eat well (healthy) but I could cater to my cravings (unhealthy) as well (in moderation).. I had to take a break from my beloved coffee.. What I realised was I had to make some sacrifices, but the best part was no one had to compel me to . I willingly did it , even if I didn't want to.. I did everything that was good for my little bubs.. Maybe, that's the beginning of "Motherhood " , putting your child's needs before yours..
