“Breathtaking Moments of New Moms”

Every mother’s story is unique and mine, too. We can’t assume that the situation will be this or that. I heard a lot of people telling their own stories of childbirth. The stories of their first moment of holding their babies, Feeding the newborn, and thriving through the situation of Delivery pain either normal or C-section. Through my experience, I realized every woman’s especially my mother’s pain in giving birth to me and raising me so well. I wonder how my mother fed me while her body had not recovered fully from the pain of the labour.

Here are my moments of delivery…

I had a C-section as my doctor told me that my fluid level was not adequate. So you should undergo a Cesarian. I fixed my mind about it. But at the time of the C-Section, the situation was really bad. I faced breathing issues and it was very risky to take my baby out. I could feel every moment of my Cesarian pain emotionally while I was given anesthesia to make my body numb. My face was covered but I sensed everybody around me. I heard their voice, I was in a miserable state as I felt like my heart was going to be nowhere. I couldn’t breathe. Finally, everybody around me helped me and my newborn to retain our strength.

Thanks to Almighty, the Creator. And they announced that a baby boy had been born. Finally, an ocean of joy and pain struck me. I saw my baby but I was not in a condition to embrace him as I was in a bad condition. I lost a lot of blood. Someone’s blood was transfused into my body. Thanks to the donor. I realized the precious benefit of blood donation at that moment.

Then I was shifted to a room, I felt like a tunnel of fire tied in my stomach. The pain was so fresh. I couldn’t move. Just imagine your body being ripped out to the last layer to take a beautiful creation out of it. Everybody came to visit me, my mother, husband, sisters, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law and other relatives. I smiled at everyone. My mother kissed me on my face. My husband held my hands tightly. Everybody around me comforted me. Truly, A family is irreplaceable.

Feeding for the first time:

I have always imagined a beautiful bond between a child and a mother through feeding. Yes, that’s true. But painful at the same time. I felt like some needle was pricking inside my breasts. It was really hard. I was already in pain and this too was added to the list. Our newborn baby’s only food is milk.

And I exclusively direct-fed every half an hour. But if he cries within 5 or 10 minutes, there you go feeding. It was like feeding, feeding, feeding and feeding! Day and Night! And your newborn baby realizes you as mom and wants to stick with you always. But this is not the case with every woman out there. Everybody has a different story of feeding their babies.

Changing Diapers:

Changing diapers for the baby is a very very hard job for the new mother. As their body is fully under pain, they can’t do it. They definitely need someone’s help. To me, my mother was my best helper. She managed me and my baby. Lol! Two Babies! Babies pee and poop several times. And we need to change diapers properly. We were using white cotton cloths as a diaper which can be used only once. But preferring a perfect diaper is good. It is comfortable and saves your energy, I believe.

Sleepless Nights and Days:

Postpartum Depression is real as I bumped my head into the wooden cot. I did it purposefully. I couldn’t sleep as my baby cried out all night for milk. I feed him, he sleeps, then cries again I feed him, he sleeps then cries again I do the same. I felt like I lost myself. There is no more me. But my baby. I slapped at my face. I dashed my head just because I was sleepless. I thought he would be sleeping in the morning but he did the same. Eventually, I was healed and became a strong mother.

Gratitude to all my Loved ones:

I thank the creator and all my loved ones who took care of me and my baby. I can’t think of my Motherhood without my mother. My family plays a major role in my life. Love you all. I encourage everyone to cherish their moments with loved ones.

To all the new moms out there:

Hey dears! You are not the first one to go through this. But your pregnancy is unique. Be courage and get ready to bring the “ little beautiful” to the world.
