The Best Journey I Had Taken

March 23, 2022 (Wednesday)

Bonjour à tous! It's hello everyone in French. Happy Wednesday readcash citizens. How is your Mecredi? Me, I'm kinda not feeling well. I feel like I'm going to have a cough. My throat is sore. Maybe this is because of the weather. The weather here in our place is like a girl. Always changing minds.hihi Now, it's hot, the minute after it rains. My partner who's trying to dry the new harvested grains was pissed because of the changing weather.

So much for that. Yesterday, I have read Kapitana's article about her pregnancy journey. And as usual, I can't think of something to write today, so I decided to use that topic too. I am glad that there are prompts like this because it helps us to think what to write and save our day.

So, without further adieu, let's start.

• Normal Delivery or CS?

-I had a normal delivery.

• Father in the Room?

-No. I was alone in the delivery room. My partner was not allowed to enter in the room where I was. I don't know why, they didn't let him in. So, he just waited outside while I was enduring the pain.

• Due Date?

-For how many times we went to my OB-GYNE for my monthly check-up or prenatal check up, she only said the month of my due date but not the exact date. Not like my cousin that she knew when is her due date. My OB told me that my due date would be October. But the month of October came to an end but my baby still didn't came out. I got really worried at that time.

Birth Date?

-My daughter came out to this world on November, two years ago. When the month of October ended, I went to my OB's clinic to have a check-up. I was already worried that I may had an overdue. But my OB  told me that if I won't give birth at that week, she will induce me.

• Morning Sickness?

-My morning sickness started when I was three months pregnant. I still remember the day when I vomited a lot after I ate balut.haha That time, my partner and I was hiding about my pregnancy for the reason that I was a graduating student. So, everytime my morning sickness strikes, I tried to hide so no one can notice me, even my roommates.

• Cravings?

-I can't think of something or specific food that I craved when I was pregnant. What I remember was that every afternoon, I always asked my boyfriend a snack because I was always starving.

• Gender of the Baby?

-Many people said that I will give birth a baby girl because I was blooming during my pregnancy. In fact, I received an award during our ringhop even though I was already four months pregnant at that time. There were only few who knew about it. Moreover, before I knew the gender of my baby, I was always had a dream of a baby girl. And it's a baby girl indeed.

• Place of Birth?

-I gave birth at a public hospital. At first we went to a private hospital but my OB is not a resident in there. I had no idea also that I could get another doctor if I wanted to. So, even if I was already in pain we headed to the public hospital where my OB is.

• Hours of Labor?

-I had 8 or 9 hours of labor. Night before I gave birth, my partner and I were watching a movie. That time, I already feel pain in my tummy but I didn't mind it for it faded after. But when we were about to sleep, I noticed that the lapses of the pain is only minutes. Then, I was sure that it was it.

• Weight?

-My daughter was only 2.49 kgs. only. She was very tiny. Maybe because I had an intense diet when I was pregnant. I was only following what my doctor said. But, she didn't gave me a hard time in delivering her because of her size.

• Baby's Name?

-My baby has a three names - Ma. Fredyzza Nathalia. Ma. came from Maria (Mama Mary). I am a devotee of Mama Mary ever since. On my pregnancy journey, I was always praying that I could have a safe delivery. Fredyzza is a combination of my name and my partner. And last, Nathalia is a recommendation name of my sister. Also, me and my partner is a fan of Ranz and Niana, a YouTube vloggers. They have a younger sibling whose name is Natalia and I was so fond of her. I love everytime I watched her dance with her older siblings.hihi

Motherhood is the greatest gift bestowed upon woman by nature. It affiliates an eminent responsibility too. Being a mother is never an easy job. Nonetheless, it is the most promising duty to us women.

My pregnancy journey was not easy too. I encountered many problems - mentally and emotionally. But I am happy that I surpassed those problems and was able to deliver my child safely.

Thank you for reading this far guys. Thank you for always supporting me. Till next time. God bless.
