My journey to Motherhood

Happy mothers day to all the amazing mother on this platform, it really great to be here and also it's a great privilege to be part of this community. Being a first time mum I will like to learn from our mothers in the house and all the same I will share my experience.

My motherhood journey started like every other mothers. I was not feeling myself and the first thought that came to my mind was to do pregnancy test.
I bought the kit and did the test, looking down at the pregnancy test kit and i saw a positive sign. I really didn't believe what I saw and I have to do it one more time and it's still the same, I wonder if it is true that the little test just told me that a baby has begun to growing inside of me.
I told my husband about it and he was very happy and went ahead to tell our parents and they are so happy as well, from that point on, my pregnancy journey started and I have to follow some rules like don't eat this, you can't sleep like that and so on, so from that time I know I'm no longer alone, I'm now carrying two life in one body, there is another life within me.

The title of a mother is like a lifetime achievement and it comes with responsibilities. It is a journey that started before having our baby in our arms.
My first trimester is not friendly because I barely eat and if I try to eat little I will vomit everything back, but after the first trimester I started getting use to it.
My baby bump have started to show when I reach 18 Weeks but you can't know if I didn't tell you, because it's not that visible and I have added weight.

By the time I reached week 32, my cute baby bump is being visible because my stomach is big and my mood swings is nothing to write home about and i get emotional easily and i will snap at any slightly thing that I even got tired of it.
Those months bring me to notice the movements and the kicks of my baby, and i was waiting patiently for the time when i can hold my baby in my arms, waiting for the moment of joy and wonder how my baby would look like, how it would feel when I take him in my arms, when the labour cramps started to declare the moment is close by.
I don't even know that the waiting time is over, but when another tough experience of labour contractions started and I can't hold the pain again I told my husband that it is time, that he should start packing.
I get the contractions throughout the night but didn’t seem to be getting much more serious, it will hold me and ease again until around 4am and by 7am we are at the hospital.
By the time I arrived at the hospital the doctor said I was at 7 centimeters dilation and I keep enduring the pain. After 2 hours I entered the real labour and after like 15 to 20 minutes my baby boy was born.
I couldn't hold him because I was so tired, I was just looking at him.

It’s look so amazing, the beautiful time in life where you finally have and see what you have been waiting for, for good nine months.
I couldn't sleep in the night just keep looking at him and wonder if he is really mine.
My Motherhood journey started since the day I did the test and it turned out to be positive.

I don't know motherhood can change me in ways I never imagined but it did, I've been pushing further than I ever thought possible and celebrating the things I never thought would make me happy like when he holds my hands or when I sat him on a potty and he poo there.
Life have been really wonderful being a mother.

Thanks for checking on my blog and have a wonderful day
