9 months of womenhood

It was on 4 th of July 2016 that I came to know that I had conceived. Well it didnot come easy for me. I was constantly suffering from extreme acidity and indigestion. Then finally I realised something wasn't right. So I asked my husband to get a pregnancy test kit and volla. There were the blissful two positive red lines. Initially I could not believe my good luck. I somehow always felt I would have a lot of difficulty conceving considering my unhealthy Life style. I can't begin to tell you the bounds of my happiness. I almost tested 6 more times to be sure. And each time it only reconfirmed the obvious. It was the most cherished moment in my life. The very next day I went to rainbow hospital mahadevpura Bangalore. The doctor R Bala seemed extremely hostile. They asked number of questions starting from if I was ready to what was my last period date to was it my first pregnancy. I knew the answers to few of the questions and to few I didnot know. I was going through an elated phase of my life. Everything was beautiful and amazing. I could not have asked for more and neither could I complain about my life. The doctor asked me to come after 14 days for my first ultra sound which is also called the dating scan. And on 17th of July I first heard the magical heartbeat. The feeling is elating. It's like being closest to God.
I was so happy that I was finally going to be a mother.
I did not like the doctor too much as she was not able to treat my nausea so I chNged my doctor to Diwakar . My new doctor became Rita Singh . She was nice . Motherly. She took care of me well. There was a time when she was doing the utrasound and the baby kicked on her machine.
We used to be excited to know whether it was a boy or a girl. But then we never found out until the end. Volla it was a girl.
I started having brownish discharge during my 7th month and it freaked me out. Kuldeep came rushing to my office and we went to get checked by the doctor. She said everything was fine. There was nothing to worry at all. I was somehow convinced that Diwakar hospital would force me to have c section hence I again changed my hospital to Apollo bannergatta. This time my doctor was Dr Preeti Prabhakar Shetty. Some how I instantly trusted the doctor and she was the one who finally brought my daughter into the world on the 13th of February 2017 at 3:32 pm.
I was having my regular check up on the 11th of February when I told the doctor that I was itching my hands and legs way too much that normal and she was like why did not you report that to me. It was a case of colititis. Some liver malfunctioning. She asked me to immediately get admitted and that really freaked me out coz I had my baby shower on the 12th of February. So I requested the doctor if I could wait another day and she was like alright get admitted tomorrow night. So the next day I looked pretty and got ready for the show. Coz it would be my last day as a non parent. Then once the part y was over I got ready at 7 and we all left. Arti, ma , kuldeep and me for the hospital for the baby wanted to now come and say hello to the world. I got admitted to the labour room and they attached the nst belt to my stomach and the wait started it was so uncomfortable. I kept waiting the whole night and then the nurse cMe and did the most embarrassing thing in the world she started shaving me down there. I was so red with shame. Then they applied a gel to start the contraction but it did not work. They again reapplied it after 2 hours but it still did not work. And then they gave me the injection . And within 30 mins I started having pains in my lower back. The pains got crazy and somewhere I felt the baby heartbeat was falling and my cervix was just not opening beyond 2 cm. It was 2 pm I was exhausted . I couldNot bear the pain anymore and I finally gave in to c section . Within minutes I was in the operation theater and I was being given general anesthesia and I remember shouting it's burning and then I was gone. Then I remember my dear kuldeep saying we have a baby girl. And I was in so much pain and confusion I did not say aNything . I just asked the nurse to give me a pain killer.the moment I got back to my senses and they were shifting me back to the ward all I could think of was looking at my baby coz I was too weak and in pain to hold her. And there they bought my little angel . She was sleeping and I knew my life will never be the same again. The cute little bundle of joy.
