Family Plays an Important Role When You Are Planning Pregnancy

By Anjali | Updated: 29/12/2018

I am working in a multinational organisation, and my work demands a lot of commitment during and even after working hours. I feel I am an ambitious woman and that was the primary reason for my delayed pregnancy. I was sure that I would never be able to handle home and work together.

There was constant pressure from my family, and they were trying there best giving all justifications related to age, the joy of life, my responsibility as a wife and daughter to make me understand that it is high time to plan a baby. So I decided to get my doubts cleared and met my doctor asking how important the age factor is and whether I shall plan pregnancy soon or I still have time. I am 33 and l was knowing what my doctor is going to suggest and yes she asked me to plan it as soon as possible. So here I was all scared and happy at the same time that now the time has come, I can’t delay it any further.

I got pregnant, and my pregnancy was quite stable with minimum health challenges.

I was blessed with a beautiful angel, and currently, I am on my maternity leave.

Trust me it was tough, keeping track of baby’s feed time, nap time, poop time was seriously not an easy task, but my family helped me in every step. From holding the baby to giving her a massage or bath or teaching her to say funny words, my family has done everything for me, and this tough task has become of so much joy.

I am enjoying every day of motherhood, and I have plans on how I will join office back. My mom and mom in law both are in full support, and they have assured me that they are going to take care of the baby which is such a relief as I never wanted to hand over my baby to maids.

Yes, family plays a significant role when it comes to supporting such decisions, and they help in making you successfully deliver the best results all the time.

I am so grateful to have such a supportive husband and parents, and I am sure that my little angel is going to grow and learn all good habits from there grandma and grandpa ??
