Parenthood

Motherhood is the greatest gift of God. And I think it is the most beautiful as well as the hardest experience of life. Being a mother is not easy. During pregnancy, women have to be careful of everything. After giving birth, a woman's life is totally changed. But most women like those changes. A mother sacrifices many things for her child. A mother's love is pure and innocent. A mother's love for her child, certainly cannot compare with anything.

There are lots of women who want to become mothers, but unfortunately, because of some health issues, some of them are unable to get pregnant. In my case, because of some infertility problems, the doctor had told me that I had only a ten percent chance to get pregnant in a normal way, and I had to get pregnant as soon as possible too. After hearing this sad news, my husband and I were very worried. The gynecologist suggested we try the artificial insemination method to get pregnant. We tried that method four times but I could not get pregnant. We were so frustrated. Then my husband wanted to try the test tube baby method but I was not ready for that because I deeply felt that I could get pregnant in a normal way soon. I did not take on any stress, thought positively, and ate lots of food with iron which helped me with my infertility problem.

After six months I got pregnant. My eyes could not believe it when I saw the positive sign on the pregnancy test kit. That moment I felt like I had gotten the most precious thing in my life. I did every good thing to make a good pregnancy. I enjoyed my pregnancy very much. I gave birth to a very healthy baby with a normal delivery. Luckily my second pregnancy was very easy. Now, I have an 8 year old daughter and a 2 and a half year old son.

I want to be the best mother for them. Sometimes, I regret that I didn’t do so many things that I was supposed to do for them. But there are still lots of things I can do for them and I am trying my best to be a great mom for them.
