When I heard the news from the doctor that I am pregnant, I felt mixed emotions. The thought elates me. I am happy! ;-) Happy, yes, and at the same time, afraid... :-( (Mood swings...)
Happy because my husband's love for me has given me another fruit of life. Happy for my little daughter who is very excited to cradle a baby brother or a sister. Happy for my hubby because i know God will give me the desire of my heart to have a Baby Boy whom we shall later on call Junior ;-).
However, I cannot avoid to feel anxious and afraid. I am afraid to feel all the pains attached with pregnancy. I had a not-so-good experience with my first born that I had dreaded from the moment I was informed I was pregnant. Anxious for the additional cost of having a baby, problems to face associated from Nannies from Hell, and so many negative things.
Such fears and anxiety associated with pregnancy are things that can be put aside. Pregnancy could be more enjoyable if one would learn to divert such mercurial feelings into something positive. Well, no one could blame raging hormones and all the queasiness you feel while pregnant. And yes, it is not only the women that can feel that, also men. Daddy can have nausea too, he may even vomit.
For my second pregnancy, I am very glad that in my first trimester, I am yet to feel the negatives of being pregnant. I am more on the positive vibes. I believe that the baby in my tummy could also feel what I am feeling so I make sure to surround my environment with happy moods. So to all pregnant mommies out there,
