Pregnancy is a gift from God. In the Old Testament, a woman is considered blessed if she conceives a child in her womb. It is believed that God favored her, heard her prayers and gave her a child. Nowadays, there are women who are not blessed to have a child. Not because they are not being favored by the Lord but somehow could be attributed to some physical factors like stress, chemical changes in the body, infertility and the like (www.babyexpert.com).
I had a very tough pregnancy. Since it was my first, I was very sensitive to the changes happening inside my body. The experience thrilled me and at the same time exhausted me. I traveled 2 hours everyday just to reach my workplace and it was not easy. My husband and I were also living faraway from our parents so we had to survive our daily tasks dependent on one another.
The greatest challenge we encountered during my pregnancy was when I had a preterm labor. My OB blamed my daily stressful travel for my preterm labor. ;-)
While hubby gave the credit to my "Boss". ;-) I had no choice but to
stay at home and wait for my due. My OB advised me to have a strict
complete bed rest. I was not allowed to go to the bathroom, to take a
bath on my own, to walk, to stand up, etc.etc. During that time, my
hubby never left my side. Before going to his work, he made sure that
all my necessities were beside me: book, vitamins, water, food. He would
sneak out and check me during his break time. He made sure that
pregnancy would still be a wondrous experience besides the misery of
being confined in my bed the whole day.
Thank you for being my best friend, my boyfriend. ;-)
