Pregnancy for any women is embarking into a new world, she explores herself in a new way she never has before. She is going through so many emotions that it gets overwhelming at most times. We all have our highs and lows and women who have been there think, 'Never again!' during pregnancy. Many couples I know shun the idea downright due to the responsibility and commitment issues. However I have waited for three long years after marriage to welcome this special kid in this world. Trust me your kid will make you complete, and the world around you will never be the same ever again.

Many pregnant ladies have morning sickness and feel nauseated during the first trimester; If this was not enough when your due date is nearing and you cannot feel a contraction the end almost seems never near. Being pregnant is a fun experience and lets remind ourselves of top reasons to be the top of the world.

• Knowing you are pregnant is a special moment for both the parents, I know we could not sleep the entire night when the strip showed positive. Relax and live this moment as for many this may be the first time you are on such a high. It is your own little secret, enjoy the attention received by your hubby.

• It is going to take whole nine months to welcome this new one in your life, right from the conception we parents weave dreams about the newborn and how we want him to grow up. Dream big and prepare yourself for him.

• Maternity clothes today have opened new avenues for us women, now it is all possible to get all decked up and show off your bump in pride. My personal tip to wear something hip stylish and comfortable is the key during this period.

• The growing bump is going to pose new problems and back ache and stretch marks, take care of this and treat yourself like a queen, don’t worry you will be pampered like one. Have soothing lotions that can help, the aloe vera ones are really efficient and then you can go for a shower.

• Antenatal classes are an important part of pregnancy and you can go and form your very own mums to be group that will help you in all the way through labour and share pregnancy stories.

• Have you ever felt good about putting on weight, we all starve ourselves to get into size zero, pregnancy is the time when you can get to relish all the chocolate fudges, shakes and all those pastries you resisted. Dont worry you can shed down that extra weight once you deliver. Indulge yourself in for some treat you deserve it.

• You can get all the sleep you want now once you have a baby you will have to adjust your schedule according to him, and hence this is the time to relax as much as you can.

• There is a norm that pregnant women should have whatever they like during this period, relish all the special recipes that are made catered for you.

   

• Be aware of the enviornement and things have changed, read as much as you can to be at the top pf raising a kid, read baby books and internet is a great source for all this information.

   

• Sharing this news to your close relatives and seeing their face lit up will make it all worth it, the embracement and hugs that follow will make you feel special.

   

• Suddenly you'll feel a new appreciation, love and respect for your own mother and all she went through having you and bringing you up.

• Renovating your room to fit in the needs of your newborn will open up so many options and will remind you of your past childhood.

• Choosing baby clothes and furniture is the major part of pregnancy. Choosing the various baby themes can be so much fun and exciting for both of you.

   

• Many mothers do not do this, but this is my personal tip have a personal journal, give this to your baby when the time is right in the future.

   

• Have a laugh at this later, but take a photo of your oversized bump, feel it it is for real. No need for you to keep a pillow ever again to see how it feels like to be pregnant. Take a snap for keep sake.

• Knowing for a fact that your family is going to be complete in dues time, and a new life is going to call you mom and dad sooner. Talking to the special person inside your belly and sharing your dreams you have planned for him.

• Waking up your husband in the middle of the night to tell him that labour is almost near.

• Knowing that you are in safe hands and all will be fine when the pain has subsided. All the time you are thinking never ever again.

• Lastly you have the child in your arms and utterly falling in love.  Watching every one you know going extatic over the arrival of the newborn. Your husband, your parents and loved ones celebrating  this new life.

• Sharing the joy with sweets to everyone you know and making all the phone calls to whomsoever it may concern and hearing their excitement for you.
