My feelings towards my mother in my pregnancy journey...
On Mahashivratri 2025, I told my mother, "Mummy, I'm expecting a baby." She was overjoyed and said, "God bless you so much... I pray for you every day that everything goes well in your life and that you find all the happiness you desire." My mother then said, "betu, take good care of yourself. If you want to come closer, come tell us, and I'll send brother. I'm worried about you, how will you be able to do everything."
She began to explain to me, "It'll be a little difficult, but to be brave."
And from there, my pregnancy journey began. My mother called me every day, asking about my well-being. When I told her I had this problem, she became worried. She called 3-4 times that day, asking about my well-being. She couldn't rest until I told her, "Mom, everything is fine now." That's how my mother is.
At 7 months, I returned to my hometown. Then, my mother started visiting my in-laws home every second or third day. ... She said, "Don't travel much, don't worry." She told me that she would come. She assured me that if I face any problem, you should call immediately.
As the delivery date approached, she would bring chaat, phulki, samosas for me every day or send them through my brother and sister-in-law.
She started asking me every day, "What do you want to eat today? Do you want to eat something today?"
She used to bring these things because the taste of chaat, phulki, samosas in my hometown is not there in any other city. I used to say on the phone that nothing is prepared as per my wish here, I miss that place. That's why my mother took care of my cravings for the last 3 months.
What a loving mother she is. She took care of my every little happiness. She did everything she could, just for my happiness, selflessly...
I was scared for the delivery, wondering how everything would go, how things would be managed in the hospital. I asked to find a 24-hour maid who would stay with me...
Then my mother said, "You don't need to worry while I'm here. How could you think that would leave you alone in the hospital? We will be there, brother will be with you... You just relax, everyone is with you." Finally, the day came when I was to be admitted to the hospital... My mother came in the evening to be with me...
My mother was more worried than me, wondering how I would bear the pain, wondering if I would start crying... She couldn't sleep the whole night... worried about all this...
Then the delivery happened the next day. Neither I nor my mother ate anything the whole night... Even on the day of my delivery, she didn't eat anything... She said, "If you're not eating, the food won't go down my throat... That's why I won't eat..."
It was as she had observed a waterless fast for the entire 24 hours...
Finally, I went into the OT. Everyone was overjoyed with the baby's arrival, and my mother was very happy; she was just waiting for me to come out of the OT As soon as. I came out of the OT, my mother came to me first and asked the anesthesia hurt much.? I was almost breathless, worried about crying... She came and stood beside me with lots of happiness, and constantly She kept asking everything was okay, there was any problem…?
My mother stayed with me like a shadow in the hospital for four days... Four days, it was as she had given up sleep... If I change of my position would make her sit upright...
When the baby cried, she would take care of him, she would take care of me...
I had never before realized so much love from my mother... There, only my mother was concerned about me... Everyone was happy with the arrival of the baby, but somewhere, no one cared about me... But my mother cared about me as well as the baby…
Everyone was there to care for me, but my mother made me feel special, understanding my pain, encouraging me, and caring for me wholeheartedly.
Mom, what you did for me cannot be described in words.
God has given me a wonderful mother. I am very grateful to God for giving me such a loving and wholehearted mother... I love my mother…
