At this advanced stage, sleeping had become a challenge with more frequent toilet trips and the cracking plus aching of pelvic bone when tossing and turning. There goes the 'oooosss and ahhsss' when lying, getting out of bed or after prolong sitting. Often I always joke with my colleagues that I need to warm up my engine before I can start walking or rather waddle. Such discomfort was due to 'lightening' whereby the baby head had dropped down and engage into the pelvis.
See.. pregnancy comes with a huge price to pay and a long list of complaints for that 40 weeks, so husbands out there cherish, love and be more patient to ur wives for they had made sacrifices.. While for those mothers to be, hang on there as time files and remb to control ur emotions and temper. First time mothers remb to read up so u will know what u r going thru. Childbirth class is a gd option for practical aspect.
I guess I will also missed the baby kicks and squirming after giving birth. Giving life is such a miracle, when a fertilised embryo develops to alive kicking baby.. But giving life is only the beginning, the tedious part will be the upbringing of the child. Its an ART.
The generation y kids are witty, outspoken, loud, daring, I.T savvy. However, those beautiful personalities like being humble, initiative, enduring hardship, well manners seems to be missing in them. They are well packaged on the outside but fragile inside. Blame it on the changing environment?
Well at least for me, I will try to implant these basic values and morals to my next generation. I am more of a hands on person and prefer to start from grd zero so that I can equip with more skills and knowledge. Also am a strong believer of moral and being well mannered is above academic.
Of course academic is so impt these days, that often ppl had associated it with wealth. The better u excel in studies, the more u earn. We cant deny the fact that those well academic started off better and much more easier. But think again, there r alot of cases that well educated ppl are blinded by greed which brings them down. Thus, such cases still voice down to our basic values and morals. Y in those kampong days, neighbours do not need to close the doors and not worrying theft? Think...
Anyway, back to pregnancy.. A full term pregnancy is considered from 37weeks to 40 weeks. Hopefully, as the time arrives I can give birth without the help of epidural. Wish me a smooth delivery.. I am ready, are you with me?
