Being positive, eating healthy and taking ample rest are the three things that would ensure a safe pregnancy, take any one thing away and you might be in trouble.
Sometime during March/ April a lot many things happened in my life all at once, at home my father retired, my parents bid adieu and moved to Bangalore, this meant that my husband and I had to look for a different accommodation, settle down. Seems easy on paper but it was physical strain, imagine puking and moving houses together, not a pleasant picture and certainly not a pleasant experience.
So while on one hand, there was a new home to get used to, controlling nausea while cooking and cleaning, the other hand was another story altogether.
At office, due to various reasons we had to close shop and that meant letting go of many of my team members, who at that time were working day and night to make this project come true for our clients. Now imagine pouring all your energies into something and then being rewarded with a line - "Thanks for your services, you are the best but we don't want you anymore, see you bbye". It broke my heart to know that I would have to use that ungrateful line in a few weeks time, not exactly the best motivational pitch :( So, while I was managing the on-goings bravely behind the scenes I was trying my level best so see if anyone can be retained.
By the way it didn't help that even I had completed my tenure and had to look for new opportunities, though I had offers and projects to chose from no prospective senior would hire me just to let me go on long leave again :(
Not all was bad though, I did manage to find a project that would be keep me busy till I started my Maternity Leave, gave me hope that being pregnant doesn't make you a liability.
It was under these circumstances that I underwent the scan on April 20th, and all the stress in the preceding weeks had taken it's toll after all, fluid levels in the womb are controlled by Placenta, which works well with correct hormonal balance, the balance that went out of the window and ultimately resulted in the complication.
The biggest silver lining was the fact that, much before all this on Mar 24th I felt my baby kick :) and she was kicking even during those complicated times, reassuring me that even though world may have fallen apart on the outside, deep within life was just kick starting !
Next time will tell you how I uncomplicated my life ! Cheers everyone !
