From the moment of knowing I was pregnant to sharing the news and living with the fact that I was raising a human being inside, I felt wonderful. My bonding with my husband was more beautiful as he cared for me not only as his wife but also as a “mom-to-be”! He took care of my routine, my comfort, my food cravings and aversions, my overall likes and dislikes. His parents were lucky to be here spending some time with us on Canada during my first trimester. They were with us until I was six months pregnant.

Raising a human being inside your womb is definitely not an easy job. It takes lot of exhaustion, fatigue, extra fat, morning sickness, stretch marks and increasing pant sizes from moms to grow that tiny human being! All these ...

The news of pregnancy is often overwhelming for new parents-to-be, especially if it’s your first one. My husband and I felt amused at this beautiful journey we were going to begin as parents-to-be. Because it was our first baby, we were no experts on pregnancy or parenting. But as the days passed by, we started learning and enjoying the new adventure.

Check with your physician who your possible OB/Gynec you would be. Proactively, you can also do your own research and if you have a preference on choosing your OB/Gynec, you can discuss with your family doctor. 2.     Bump Picture - I bet, you will look at these while you are awaiting the arrival of your munchkin and want to hold him in your arms right away.
