yeah… only a week left now for me to become a mother for the first time. and now i sit here with my huge body, thinking all the time what will it be like to be a mother. how to care for the baby, how the baby will look like. girl or a boy… (i know that one ;)) how will i hold such a tiny baby… will i be a good mother…
i am having ajeeb-o-ghareeb dreams these days. i dont know how i will survive the pain and pass the whole process of giving birth. but they say that u forget all the pain when u see and hold the baby for the first time.
i just want to close my eyes and somehow let the time pass until its all over without feeling any pain… then i think of taking epidural, but it has its pros and cons… its all too confusing for me at this part..
well, now u tell me mothers ofcourse… how was it like to have a baby? how scared/happy/sad/glad were u with ur date at such a close distance.. and how did u cope with that? or didnt until it happened!!!

wow, i thought I was the only one with these feelings! Hope everything goes well for you.
U will be fine.
That's the same phrase my obgyn told me everytime
i mentiond one of my fears specially the ones about pain.
Yes it is sooo true how u forget about everything once the baby is born. U know I didn't believe it when they told me that, but it is true.
Try to enjoy this last week as much as u can. Try to get as much sleep as u can. Enjoy those little kicks and movements. Epidural is not as
risky as some ppl tell u. I know atleast two dozen women who got it and are living fine. I swear to god u won't have any side effects. Neither will the baby.
Common fears that we all face I suppose. I'm getting a little anxious too....but more so about recognizing the signs of labour. Everyone is telling me, "Don't worry, you won't be mistaken, you WILL know it's time."
Epidural....most people that I have talked to swear by it. It's in my birth plan for sure. That and any other type of pain management that my obstetrician recommends will be administered. Why sweat it?
Clem....is it a boy or a girl? We have decided to leave it a surprise. Sometimes I have this tremendous urge to find out and I have to tell myself no.
Inshallah everything will go well for you and the baby.
Do remember to come back and announce here....we're all gonna be waiting.

my experience was very long.
Actually now I look back at it and consider it a wonderful thing that
happened to me and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
Muzna, it changes day to day especially as I don't know whether I am having a girl or a boy. But I do have some names that are firm favourites which I will post for you......quite a few "M" ones too!
wow clementine..Allah khair ka waqt laey or khushi naseeb karay ameen ! or bas Allah pay chour dou sab kuch ,lakin hamari ammi Soora Mariyam ko perhnay k leay kahti hain asaani k leay:)
Muzna bouht mubarek hou..or due kab hay?:)
