Pregnancy-A Life Changing Event

Pregnancy-A Life Changing Event

#NotaperfectMom I was working as a producer at a media house with aspirations of becoming a director soon. Life felt stable professionally. It seemed the right time to start married life. I was fortunate to have met a man I can call a friend, someone I can trust. Soon we got married & we decided to move to Dubai. We were packed & all set for the move when I realized we were pregnant. I wasn\'t ready to accept that. I became uncertain about my career & life plans I was caught off guard, scared & baffled. After discussing, my husband & I decided to go ahead with the birth. Unfortunately, work commitments didn\'t allow my husband to be with me & he had to leave for Dubai. Here, all by myself, I had to manage things on my own. Tests, doctor visits & the pangs of birth, I managed them all. Amidst all the running, I missed working, missed my husband & most of all my independence. That phase lasted 9 months, but life changed when a little archangel came into my life. With uncertainty, mixed emotions & postpartum depression began the beautiful journey of motherhood. The little angel makes it all worth, but I\'d lying if I said there aren’t any struggles, as a matter of fact, they just got more intense. Determination helps when countless sleepless nights of doubt, scare me. But they say, what doesn\'t kill you only makes you stronger. My conviction and stubbornness to survive, helped me win in the face of my biggest adversary. Stay strong Believe in your self Don\'t give up your belief, ever.
