Seven Month Pregnancy and Lockdown due to Coronavirus.

In Seven month what mother feelings, emotions,this was third trimester of my pregnancy. In this period I feel nervous about delivery and after delivery. Pain during delivery. Delivery will be normal delivery or C-section. Top of that their is lockdown due to Coronavirus. That is very serious virus which is spreading quickly and their is no medicine for this. Stay home stay safe.

During this period I suddenly feel like I become more sensible and knowledgeable. For this I have started to think positive, take deep breath, pranayama, reading positive messages and most importantly stayed at home, kept safe distance from others, wear mask, used sanitizer. Take this period positively you can spend more time with family and with your baby. 

Emotions play important role during this period you should be emotionally strong during this period of time. Emotion change during this period for silly reasons but divert yourself to positive. As lockdown is there for 21 days their is shortage of groceries, vegetables and fruits in market. Emotionally you have to be strong. Family plays important role during this period. Find the calcium, nutrients in alternate source of food. Maintain your daily diet eat healthy. Eating healthy diet also help to be emotionally positive to baby and also to the mother. Watch, think, read positive relating to great leaders their hard work, journey to their success. Plan about financial future. 

During this lockdown I got some time to learn different stages of labor and delivery options.

I'll give few suggestions during this period.

1. Talk with close one (such as husband, mother) share your feeling, emotions.

2. Watch  good movies, episodes Such as Good Newws movie.

3. Read book.

4. Write your emotions, feelings in dairy, blogs

5. Play with little one in your neighbor's.

6. Follow your Hobby.

7. Do yoga, meditation or else walk at home.

8. Learn new skills, art.

9. Try some new dishes and share with friends.

10. Listen to music.

11. Find your interest.

12. Decorate, renovate your room.

13. Older pictures and memories of younger you and your husband.

My Life Touching Pregnancy Journey

First movement to know that I was pregnant that day that movement I can't be describe in words. Words will fall short. but still trying to describe in few words.

I know every pregnancy is different yet journey too but real experience of other help to understand and tackle the situation and mentally prepared. I hope my journey will help few of you. 

I missed my period and was having pain in stomach so we went to meet our family doctor. Doctor ask about symptoms and suggested to do pregnancy test. I was nervous about the same. Next day we did pregnancy test using pregnancy kit and it came positive. Like every Indian lady we thank god first. I also thanks god first then gave call to husband. he was happy. Call home and told. All were happy to hear that new member will be coming in family.

Our family doctor suggested maternity doctor. so, next day we book appointment with the doctor and met doctor. he done initial ultrasound to confirm pregnancy, shown us tiny dot on screen that was our baby. done all registration work and doctor first told to do few tests such as Thyroid, Sugar, HIV to know health of mother. That time I was 2nd month pregnant.

Then journey of Pregnancy is divided into three Phase which are called trimesters. 

First trimester (1-12 weeks) 

Second trimester (13-26 Weeks)

Third trimester (27 to the end of pregnancy)
Normal full term pregnancy is 40 weeks can range from 37 to 42 weeks.

First trimester is vital for the development of your baby.  Initially it is said not to tell this to others till you complete three month of pregnancy as logically their is chance of miscarriage during this period. During this period you should take care of yourself not to lift any more weight object/items. Till now I was not getting any symptoms of pregnancy such as vomiting or fainting. But after 2 month completion in 3rd month I feel like vomiting, disliking items which I like before, feel like sleeping, headaches.

Solution for such Morning Sickness.

1. Avoid dehydrating can really help but try regular sips and fluid rather than drinking lot at once.

2. Try to eat biscuit or dry toast in morning when you wake up- This will help you as can taking it slowly first thing

3. Have coconut water.

4. Have fresh Breakfast/Lunch /Dinner- during my pregnancy I was working so it was not possible to have fresh hot meal so I use have heavy breakfast and take lunch with me for office and use to have food after 2 hours such as dry fruits, fruits, biscuits etc.
it is advisable during pregnancy if you don't feel like eating meals then try to eat it in small meal or eat something the you like. but never do fasting during pregnancy as it will not only harm you but also affect baby who is growing inside you.

5. During pregnancy your sense of smell will be heightened leading to more food making  you feel nauseous

6. divide your meal into small portion after 2 hours.

7. Avoid having food which you don't like.

8. Prenatal vitamins are advised by the doctors and this should be take after doctor prescriptions only

"I find that eating little and in small portion helped me. I usually eat  dry amala (Indian gooseberry) during my third month of pregnancy. Eating amala during pregnancy  provide a wide range of benefits for the mother and child."

 Mother should take extra care of herself. Many kits are available online which you can buy.

Journey to the Second trimester will post in next blog.
