Young shoots grow by absorbing
nutrients from the earth, In a same way the child are nurtured by her
mother and this journey begins from our
day of conception. Yes, today I would like to share my views about Motherhood
and Pregnancy.
We all are thankful to God and also
our child/children that they gave us this opportunity and experience to be one
with nature and became a part of HIS creation. Each day of pregnancy is
beautiful and has come up with new challenges. The initial two trimesters are
known to be happy period and they are competitively less risky. Off course,
there are many physical changes, but most of the mothers are worried about
their “Stretch Marks”. I also applied 2-3 creams suggested by my Gynec, but
nothing worked out much. After the birth of my child it turned more prominent and because of that I have to
stop wearing low waist dresses. I was disappointed and Sad. Just like a
Fairy-tale, one day I read the concept of “changing Poison into medicine” from
Nichiren Daishonin Buddhism, their he mentioned about how do we transform our “
pain into pleasure “. That was the knocking moment of my life and I’ve started
looking that permanent change into a positive aspect. I relate the Strach marks
with the Foot prints of my baby Avighna’s feet.
As every mother misses that
beautiful period, when her baby was the part of her own body and she was
connected with Mother Nature directly. I advise all the mothers and To-be
mothers, pl don’t feel bad about your body and Marks. They are actually the
Impression of your loved ones and its your love towards Almighty. Last but not
the least, I pay my heartiest gratitude to all the mothers. I would like to end
my exp with the note of Lotus Sutra of Buddhism:
“Prayer and Mother is the effort to
align the gears of our life with the movement of the Universe”.
