Lazying in bed

Today is a Sunday. And what do we usually do on a Sunday? Get up late? or go for mass? or just do nothing.

For the past one and half year, the moment I was awake in the morning, I used to get out of bed quickly and used to start my daily chores. The first thing being getting the milk ready for baby (as he would cry/scream loudly) as he would wake my husband up who loves to enjoy his lovely weekend sleep after having late nights. In all, for a mom, no weekends, no Sundays.

But today was different. I woke up and saw my little boy was awake too. My hubby was up too... hubby wakes up before me these days. Richie was in a good mood, thrilled that mom was around. I hugged him and we played in bed, with me feeling lazy to move even an inch. Richie too did not scream to have his morning milk. He was happy just having mom for company. I certainly felt relaxed and rejuvenated after a good relaxing time.

Pregnancy dreams

Pregnancy feels like a journey of million steps. There are so many ups and downs, happy, exciting and breathtaking moments. If we just take one-step at a time I guess we can reach our destination very easily. Though I say this, there are some moments wherein we feel a lot of apprehensions about what lies ahead of us …. The last tri-semester happenings, weight gain and exhaustion, what to expect during labour, how to take care of a new-born… am I doing the things right? am I eating properly? etc. etc.

All the above mentioned things affect the mind a lot and it appears as dreams in the night. Sometimes I dream about climbing mountains or missing a train and wake up tired and full with sweat. Sometimes I dream of not reaching my goals. It is quite normal to feel so. I did some reading online and they say that even if we are relaxed, our sub-conscious mind records the anxious moments and we see it as dreams in the night. As I said in my earlier post in order to calm myself down, I follow some breathing techniques and some exercises. I realized here is nothing to worry, if we are positive, everything falls in place.

After all these 9 months are the beginning of a new journey, a new life for a mother and child. We need to enjoy it at the fullest. :)

Childbirth with Hypnosis - Delivery and labor

I used to always think that it is very tough during labor. But this video gave a new dimension to labor. It is talking about relaxation and deep breathing during the contractions. I am confident that we can have painless delivery and that too without risk. We can be as relaxed as sitting in an a/c couch and have our baby. Yes, I know you would say, “easier said than done”. But believe me, things look difficult when we just get started, but as you get accustomed to them, you feel “Oh is this what I was considering was so difficult!! It is so easy!!! If I had know earlier, I would have not been tensed at all”. Yes, you are not alone. We all feel the same, many a times. We only need to shift our focus to the positives and let all the bad/negative thoughts out of our system. We also need some practice before the delivery. We cannot get it done in 1-2 days. It is kind of a slow process but sure to get results. The earlier we start it the better it is if for us and for our baby. As I am a working women, it is difficult to manage home and work and sometimes gets stressed. So these techniques help me at every step. So my dear friends, consider it as a very close pal of you being at your side and telling you all this. I always wanted a close pal to tell me about how they felt. If we imagine the beautiful fruits of our labor there is nothing stopping us from giving THE BEST to our baby, our angel. Please share in your comments and views so that even we all can have the best of all worlds.
