Every time I see my daughter I feel like my heart is moving here and there out of my body

I still remember the day when my daughter was born in fact every mother remembers the birth of her children. Because only a mother knows how much painful and agonizing is the process of giving birth to a child. Not just the time of delivery (as women of elder ages use to picture the whole scenario) but the entire pregnancy period (from day 1) is way too difficult. Every woman has to face physical, hormonal, emotional changes of pregnancy. All those mood swings, different kinds of pain, cravings for certain food items, morning sickness, weight gain and above all carrying a baby inside the womb is definitely an unsensational and arduous task.

I experienced all the same phases during my journey of pregnancy. That morning sickness, those sleepless nights amid my third trimester and false pains huh…. TBH I just got fed up of being pregnant at that time. In a nutshell, with every passing day I was just getting tired and also anxious for having my baby in my hands instead of my womb.

Birth of my daughter was a huge surprise for me, my husband and my entire family as well. How…? Let me tell you…

1. My doctor gave me the delivery date of 26th November, but she came out in the world on 6th of November.

2. My sonographer told me that I am having a baby boy but I was blessed with a daughter by grace of Almighty ALLAH.

Some other interesting memories are that my mother in law was asking me the same day to prepare my baby bag. I still remember her words "Shafaq baby ka bag ready kr k rakh do", and I simply replied her, "Ammi abi to itnay din pray hain kuch din mein kr loun gi ready, cheezen to sb li hui hain". The same day I had to rush towards the hospital for delivery as my water broke. Another interesting thing happened was that I made shopping of all the baby accessories except 'baby diapers'. LOL…. It was around 3am in the morning when I went to the hospital and all the stores were almost closed at that time. When doctor moved me to the labor room my husband went out on 'Mission Diaper Hunt" and luckily a store was found open and we got the diapers. Yay… On my baby's arrival in this world I heard her first cry. With tears in my eyes and a smile on my face I asked my doctor "is it a boy or a girl?" and she said "Congrats, it's a pretty little girl".

This was a small glance of my journey from pregnancy to the birth of my daughter. This entire phenomenon taught me so many more things like:

ALLAH's blessings on me are increasing every other day.

Since that day I adore my MAMA trillions time more than I did before.

I have found a true and sincere best friend in the form of my daughter.

My bond with my husband has become much stronger than before.

I have an addition in the list of people who care for me.

And of course a lot more are their which I can't explain.

Beside all these gains, I also have lost many things like my physical health, physical health in the sense that every woman after giving birth to a child undergoes a few changes in her physique, her body shape and her weight also, my body has become a little weak internally. I also faced all relevant issues. Along with physical changes numerous other things have also been changed in my life like my responsibilities have been redoubled, my sleep cycles have been changed and many others. 

Likewise all other mothers my sense of insecurity has been escalated as every time I see my daughter I feel like my heart is moving here and there out of my body. But, above all thanks to ALLAH Almighty for blessing me with a daughter and showering upon me many other blessings. May ALLAH Almighty bless and keep every single daughter out there in HIS kind protection (Ameen).
