06. She is Back!


Once the first three months were over, she felt a lot better. She was back to herself. We planned a short vacation to lazy Kasauli, our first trip with Hridhima.  Next 6 months passed smoothly without any trouble. We didn't even realize how fast the time passed. 

No matter what people say, don’t worry, travelling does not harm, nor does sex. Unless there are some other complications and doctor recommended extra caution. Your wife is back, and the next three months are the best months during pregnancy. It is time for both of you to slow down and enjoy the phase. Spend time together, help each other, read her books she likes and listen to music.

Sex is back in your life. Yes, women has a slightly bigger tummy by now, but they also has bigger boobs! Unfortunately they come with a touch-me-not sign. They are big alright, but painful as well. Be careful, you would not really want to hurt her, would you?

It is time to pamper your wife, but make sure you don’t overdo the pampering. She will know how much food she needs, leave it to her. Don’t let anyone force her to eat more than she requires. Else you will end up with a wife more than you have bargained for. She only requires 2600calorie/day, just 400calorie/day more than normal.

Remember to attend ante-natal classes together. Make sure that she is active. The more active one is the easier will be the delivery. Only 500ml blood is lost during normal delivery (NDV) compared to 1000ml during cesarean. NDV is much less traumatic for mother. That’s why WHO recommends 3:1 ratio for NVD. Unfortunately ratio in India is reversed. So, if you love your wife and want a less painful NDV, let her be active. She is pregnant and not a patient, she can lead a perfectly normal life if only people let her be.

We went for another USG, and this time we could see her limbs, see her heart pump, and a faint outline of her head. That was a wow moment!


The one that is marked is her hand!
