It was Late in the evening around 10.30 pm on March 2nd 2016 , I was feeling breathless and shivering with cold in this hot summer,which came two months earlier.
I asked to to the person who was carrying me down stairs from operation theater, Sir ! Could you please allow me to take some oxygen in ? I am feeling breathless.
Ohh ! Do you suffer from any asthma or sinus ? he asked. I said , I have little sinus Sir and he started holding oxygen mask around my nose.
I could see no family member around me and was worrying a lot as to what had happened ? Is there any issue with the little one whom I just gave birth few minutes back? Well I dint even know whether it's a girl child or a baby boy.
I asked Sir , Is my kid fine? Is everything all right ? Is the kid breathing well? He simply said dont worry madam , you have given birth to a healthy baby boy and he is completely fine.
Baby boy?????? Is it not a girl ? OMG , it was my response and he simply smiled.
I was feeling better after ten minutes and he removed oxygen mask, slowly I could see all my family members with bright faces saying your kid is fine dont worry.
It was a moment of relaxation as we were completely afraid since my health got complicated from late afternoon and doctors were trying their best to save me and my kid.
Well I dint know I used the word my kid without knowing to myself. This might be the actual motherhood , I was suffering from pain for past 10-12 hours and went through major surgery and I was feeling glad that my kid is well and healthy.
Just in few minutes all family members were busy in phone calls and then started judging as to whom does the kid look like. Well I was still thinking why I got a boy instead of girl? Later family consoled me saying whatever it is you have to be happy. I then thought to myself, fine, lets hope he has good future. Lets enjoy being a parent.
Within in few minutes I could see the tiny boy with bright face, small eyes rolling here and there, lovely hands and legs moving as if he is riding a bi cycle. He knows no one but finally he has arrived. We were waiting for around 9 months to see this new life , thinking who would be the new member to the family , girl or boy ? how would they look like? etc etc.
Well I was in hospital for around 6 days and saw the same story repeats with each case.People come with lot of pain ,they go through many injections,salines, feel tensed about baby , later when baby arrives, they forget all the pain and suffering they went through and they have to go through.Some feel very happy and dance having girl and some sit with sad faces.
What ever the family may think but the mother never explains her pain to anyone. She has to go through lot of changes, control her diet, take care of the baby without even knowing how to do it, she has to compromise with her physical appearance, her food and even her sleep for the sake of baby.
For homemakers it might be a lil bit relaxing but for women who have career and work have to think a lot and plan to get support from family.
I am just thinking what pain our mothers might have gone through with us? They could have done lot of house work not unlike us , how did our school teachers manage their kids and family? Now simple to say they are inspiration for me to go forward.
Take Care of your mom's!! Be happy , keep smiling!
