23rd Jan 2018


Can this be true? Research says so! 










 This toh is true, I think.
And this one below. It is just that human love for its offspring is far over-rated. Thanks to our gift of language and hence the ability to express emotions in words? Maybe.
No matter which species, childbirth is an excruciating experience.



I remember, with Tanvi, the pain of the contractions was killing. I was screaming like a mad woman. At that point in time as the pain hits you every five minutes or so, all you want is for the hell to end. I can understand why some women choose to go for the C-section. 
But even now my thoughts don't let me consider C-section as an option. This time too I want to try my 200% for normal vaginal delivery. One reason is faster recovery, less dependence on others and another reason is the cost factor. At Lakshmi Maternity which is not one of those fancy, branded, corporate show-biz kind of a hospital, the charges for normal versus Cesarean deliveries are Rs 40,000/- and Rs 80,000/- respectively. That's a straight jump! Can't afford!

    Dwell not on the pain - it is short term and there is a positive result - with all blessing, of course. Also, let not your age concern you; what with new house, potential new job for hubby, an established daughter looking forward to a sibling... any pain will but a joy! YAM xx

  2. True, Sujatha the contraction pain is intolerable, but still it is sugary. The expectation of the new-Comer's arrival thrills the female. Yes, your thought if caring for the young ones by every being is very true.Apt pics.
