Conceived

Dear Diary,

This is Dec 2019. Just now I saw my anomaly scan report. I not only have completed 20weeks of pregnancy but also have a good news, the anomaly report looks fine. Never have I ever waited so eagerly for the result of my medical reports.
Exactly 1 year before I lost my first baby. On Dec 2018 I had miscarriage. The reason - the foetus stopped growing, only the sac inside which the foetus stays was growing. This is what medical report says. But for a mother that was not just a foetus but her child.
When doctor showed me my child on the screen while conducting the anomaly scan my eyes became wet. Each time my usg happened and I saw my baby growing inside me tears used to come out- tears of happiness. Now I realise why mothers are so sensitive towards their children and from where do their tears come. A baby is not only the dearest one for a mother but the baby is a part of her body.
For the ones who do not know, anomaly scan is done at 20th week of pregnancy to check if there is any genetic abnormality in the baby.
As soon as we got the report, we planned for our Babymoon and also Baby Shower.
Also we got to know about the Stem cell banking . We immediately started finding pros and cons of different stem cell banking companies. Stem cell banking is done to store the stem cells of the baby so that if in case any day in future any crucial disease occurs, these cells can be used to cure that disease.Stem cells are located inside the umbilical cord that connects baby and the mother. Post delivery within 15minutes the stem cell has to be collected.
Another important thing that we did - we insured our lives, bought life insurance so that even if we are no more our baby would get financial support to sustain.
This much for today. Will be back soon with the next chapter.

Much Love,
Twisa

Barriers that we create

Dear Readers, It's been quite sometime that I have not been able to blog. There were too many things going on - workfront, my Mom's health not keeping well etc. Now that all these are sorted, thought of resuming my blogging again. Just few days ago, when my maid asked me for a glass of water, I was looking for the designated glass which I usually give her and others who help us in our daily household work. Just then I realised something - I am unknowingly following the same norm which I have seen in my childhood days at home. I have seen my Mom, my Grandmom using separate dishes and glasses for the maids. For the guests of the house, seperate kind of crockery set was used but the difference between the dishes for maid and for the guests was the quality of the plates. The guests were given higher quality material plates, the family would use the basic material plates (steel at that time) and the maids would get aluminium or old steel plates. I immediately stopped searching for m...

Insecurity

Image
 Dear Readers, Have you ever felt insecure at any point of time? You must be laughing at my question thinking isn't feeling insecure the most common thing! Well it is. As a child my biggest insecurity was my gender. I always wanted to be a boy, I despised the fact that God has made me a girl. My thoughts started from the day when my father bought a bicycle for my younger brother - the cycle which I wanted to ride! When I asked my parents why I was never given a cycle, their reply was you are a girl, you are delicate, what if while cycling you fall and get bruises or if major injury happens! From that day I started noticing this issue - the issue of being a "girl". Several times I had heard my relatives telling my parents - "Thank God you have been blessed with a son, else who would have looked after you in your old age or who would have carried forward your family!"  As a child I kept on exploring this zone and asked myself several times what is the thing which ...

Back to Kolkata

Image
  Dear Readers, It's been long time. I couldnt write blog as I was shifting from Mumbai. And, yes I am back to Kolkata after 5 long years! Initially, I was apprehensive about the shift because of many reasons. I was not sure if we would be getting the same facilities like those in Mumbai. Not only lifestyle and availability of things, several things are different here - medical facilities, education system, people & their thought process. But today when I see my daughter is playing happily with my parents who have so many grey hairs, wrinkled skin - I feel this shift was the need of the hour. After returning back I suddenly felt how much old my parents have grown and how much sense of security or strength they get after seeing me living close by in the same city. I never understood their thought process till I became a parent myself. When I think about my future now I foresee doing things together with my daughter, I want to live close to her not because I want to control he...
