CHILD CARE

                                                                          Random thoughts

The first and the biggest concern after a little one arrives is that "What Now?". The baby is so tiny and fragile that your heart stops beating even at a most harmless hiccup or a sneeze. Though we all think that the mothers instinct kicks in from the first moment she hold the baby. But that's probably not true for all women, especially with mom and mom-in-law and all the other women you know start off about what all they know and how correct they are and that you know nothing and how ever hard you try you'll never be up to the mark. Isn't that a sad sad situation.

  The worst of it all and i call it a bummer is the post-natal depression that sets in. Some women get effected almost immidiately and some get it a little later. Though there are some lucky women who don't have to go through this dreadful phase. I call them blessed. Isn't it funny how eveyones attention shifs at a blink of an eye. Only yesterday when the little person was tucked safely in your belly kicking and nudging that everyone around you makes you feel on top of the world. Mom pampers you and husband would get you anything really just about anything all you needed to do is ask, but as soon as the little person is out it's like you don't exist at all. Yes, true you and everyone around you had been waiting for the baby. He/she is the Star. But you too just became a mum but when you don't get loved or appreciated about how well you did to bring out that beautiful life into this world feeling bad is normal.  But no, all people need is a hint of how you may be feeling neglected and lonely they will for sure turn your sour feeling in feeling of guilt, is how can you compair yourself to a little baby.

Honestly believe me I have nothing against my children. It totally has nothing to do with them...may be you too at some point have felt like that. Tried to figure out if your husband still loves you are you still attractive enough for him...we are all human and sadly we all are run by emotions. People make you feel  so bad that eventhough you are the happiest that you can be on the arrival of the star of your life...your feeling a little bad for yourself can be blown into mammoth proportions. Tell me honestly can anyone be nemore happy that you when you give birth to your child isn't that you moment...only if people were a bit more human...well I had felt this and wanted to share with all the other mothers as i know there are some of you who will feel and understand about what i am talking about. These are just some of my random thoughts nothing personal nothing contraversial just a new mums feelings spoken out loud. I hope you did enjoy reading it. I have my contact address where you can send in your supressed feeling...or even stories that you would like me to put up on this website and we all can share understand and feel better that yes there is someone else also who feels the same way.

Your comments are more than welcome. I'll be waiting for them. Till then...
