One Picture One Story Week #98

I want to say that this contest is very powerful. It helps you to look at a picture and build a thousands of words. While scrolling my phone this evening I stumble on the picture above. Looking at this picture closely it reminds me of when my second daughter was 2 months old. Life indeed is a miraculous.

No woman knows the minutes, the hours or the day she conceives but after some weeks or months you will realize that you're carrying a living thing. Their first kick gives every mother a whole lot of joy, makes you feel like a woman and a blessed one at that. Week by weeks, month by months they grow till 9 months. To be very sincere, harboring a living thing for good 9 months is really in miraculous.

Looking at this picture reminds me of how my second pregnancy journey was. I always experience lots of mood swings, especially during the first trimester. Some days you will wake up very active doing all the house chores with excitement.

The next day, it will be reverse, I wake up I cannot even carry your head up, I don't feel like doing anything, so weak, so tired and sometimes frustrated. Hahahahha 😅.

Some days comes with excitement , I became foodie, eat different food, chat with Friend, play with my first daughter and enjoy the day.

My husband is a great man who vividly understand Hormonal fluctuations, he shows love and support in all ramifications.

Medically,it is true that during pregnancy oestrogen and progesterone levels do affect neurotransmitters leading to emotional shift. Another reason why women face mood swings during pregnancy is because physical discomfort and emotional adjustment.

Pregnancy come with lots of pain, nausea, fatigue and irritability. Having in mind of becoming expectant parents might make someone feel anxious about the body changes, parenthood and even future responsibility.

Some days I seek support from medical personnel and other days I hope myself by doing none strenuous exercise. Before,I could really myself,it was 9month Always.

I couldn't wait to have my bundle of joy in my arms. Fortunately for me she came out with spontaneous vagina delivery on 22 December 2024. Tears of joy was overflowing. We named her Saleem which means peaceful.

Having a little princess in my hand fade away all the pains and mood swings. Taking care of her, day by day brings a great Joy to my heart.

On this day I decided to snap her for good memories. Scrolling on my device gives me all the memories till 2 months of age. Actually she has gone to 10 Months now, I pray for the giver of life to give us the strength to nurture and guide her to become a responsible human being.

The reason I'm sharing this story is that my second pregnancy want not like this first, Children are unique in their way, l believe it can help other people to support pregnant women especially when they have hormonal fluctuation, doing unexpected, it is advisable to support them knowing that it is just a temporary journey.

Women who successfully pass through 9 months journey are strong,brave, powerful, determined and resilient. It also advisable for everyone to support them through open conversation or communication, lifestyle adjustment,self care and professional help.

I would like to curtain here and invite @dove11, @adeljose, @tammanna and @drhira to share a story with us using one picture.
