Mum 4 Real Celebrating Parenthood

‘Does it come this fast?’ was the question that I asked myself when I sat in the toilet that faithful morning throwing up all that I had inside of me. It happened exactly six weeks after my wedding; though I noticed my monthly cycle was ceased but I didn’t believe pregnancy could be the cause…at least I felt normal. From the information I had gathered from family and friends, I thought my body was only adjusting to “the change in the new environment” *wink** but …It only took me some days after that I realized I had a baby growing inside of me, in fact, the test I had just confirmed my suspense.
I had to go for a test first thing on Monday morning after having a horrible weekend alone. I had planned and attended a time out with my friends on Friday night after work; hubby was on an official assignment and I used the opportunity to ‘hang out with the girls.’ Maybe all that I ate upset my baby. I sent a mail to my superior to take permission to be absent from work and also didn’t spare my husband too. In short, he was in and out of his meeting because his phone kept ringing continuously…and guess who the caller was; me!
On that fateful Saturday morning, I felt very nauseated. Every food and smell made me throw up. I couldn’t even keep water down, it was that bad. I had to endure for my hubby to return because driving alone to me was ‘risky’ with that experience. My younger brother who I would have called to help was at the orientation camp, NYSC in Calabar. Alerting my neighbours was the last thing on my mind.
I managed myself till hubby returned on Sunday evening. Trust him, he brought loads of goodies I could not smell or taste…hmmmm…what a sweet experience is all I can say now. On getting to the hospital, we were to come back on Monday morning for the test because the laboratory was not opened. With the little I shared with the Doctor, he advised I should not take any medication until after the test.
My heart raced as far as an antelope runs…will I be confirmed pregnant or is it something else? To cut the story short the test was positive…the joy we shared (my husband and I) that day took away the pain. Now that I am aware of the growth inside, my companion for the next 35 weeks or less, preparing his/her ‘zone/domain/sanctuary/estate…was the next thing on my mind irrespective of the price.
