Coping With Ups And Downs During Pregnancy

This interesting article addresses some of the key issues on coping with ups and down during pregnancy. A careful reading of this material could make a big difference in your pregnancy.

Unexpected Happiness

My pregnancy symptoms increased in week 5 of my third child. I felt hungry and tired easily, loss of concentration and a lot gas in my tummy. I asked God to show me and let me know whether I was pregnant. My elder son, aged 5, said, "Mummy, you have a baby inside because your tummy is big." Then, he prayed to God to give us a baby because he loved to take care of baby. The next day (one day after due day of last period), I used the home pregnancy kit to test. I was so happy to know the result was positive and I was pregnant. We were full of joy and excitement to expect for a baby.

Unexpected Challenge

I made earlier appointment to O & G doctor because of staining on 18 Aug 2005. I was so delighted to get the confirmation from the doctor of my pregnancy. I had injection and have to take medication to stabilize the condition. The injection was painful.

However, I had more staining at night and was advised by the doctor to take bedrest at home. I was a bit worried. I listened to Alpha music to calm down myself. I lied down on the bed and started to communicate with my unborn. I told my baby, "Baby, you are safe and healthy. Mummy will give the best environment to nourish you for your optimal growth." I asked my two children to talk to unborn baby, "We love you. We are looking forward to see you in the due date." I went to sleep and staining stopped. The unborn baby responded to the love message from his brothers.

There are a lot of ups and downs during pregnancy. When we take one step at a time, we are able to enjoy our pregnancy and cope better.
