New Journey of My Life With My Little One's Presence in My Life
The day I conceived was the most precious day in my life .. from that day onwards my lifestyle totally changed. Everyone in the family cared more for me and most wonderfully pampered me more. I felt like I was flying but staying home all the time was a little hard for me. My growing belly was a good sign for me and hubby. I love my fat because of you, my baby. It was time for the first scan and I was a little nervous but everything was ok. I had to buy new clothes because the old ones were tight with the ending of the first trimester. In the second trimester, I felt more hungry all the time. After some time, I felt his movement's a little. As the days passed, I was able to feel all baby movements.. it's lovely to feel you. Everytime when I used to go to bed, the baby would start his movement. Then, I started reading articles on Firstcry Parenting and on other apps about what is good to eat and doing the same, I cared for myself a lot. In the next scan, I saw you.. for the first time I saw your movement's but baby was less active. I was a little worried about baby but everything was ok in the report. Now in third trimester, I was ready with my hospital bag, read all my required things from Firstcry Parenting, even chatted with customer care service about things I required after my delivery. Ordered my products online from Firstcry and got my bag ready with some little beautiful clothes for my baby. In the last two months, I prepared myself for delivery. In scan now there was a little problem, baby was moving less inside maybe because of less space or I was eating less. But I ran to doctor because of less movement. One day, doctor admitted me in the hospital and applied drip. Everyone in the family had come there to meet me. Baby started his movement normally and doctor discharged me after movement started. I went to doctor many times for less baby movement and she suggested me another scan. Finally ninth month started. My heart beat fast, I was little worried at night and felt more pressure on my abdomen all the time. I was doing some exercise like squats because I wanted normal delivery. Another day, I went to doctor because of less movement, doctor checked high rate of baby's heart beat. She was a little worried and asked my family for C-section. Shifting me day care centre to hospital. Nurses prepared me for delivery, I was worried but I showed to my moms that I was strong enough because I love both of them a lot. I didn't want to make them cry but I was crying inside. Now it was time to leave my room and go into operation theatre and I was nervous. Doctor asked me some question and started their procedure, anaesthesia started working. I was lost somewhere in another world and after sometime, I listened to my baby is crying. Awww I love my baby. When I opened my eye,s I was in operation theatre. My first question was whether my baby was ok, they said ok, after that I asked it's boy or girl, they replied boy. I was happy and I wanted to see my baby. They shifted me to the room. I saw my baby with blurry eyes because of anaesthesia. Now shifted baby to another hospital because of high rate of heart beat. I met my baby after 3 days and he's my everything. From the first day, I have lived for him, he's the reason behind my every smile. He's now 9 months 13 days old. I spend all my time with him. I left studies and am enjoying my motherhood time and salute to all other mothers.

Realistic Things to Tell Yourself When You're Trying to Lose or Gain Weight
Some of us have decided that this year, we will achieve that goal weight for sure. Some of us have weight we want to lose, while some of us have weight we need to gain. Getting genuinely enthusiastic about our goal leads us to splurge city – shoes, organic health foods, cute workout clothes and awesome headphones – you name it! But unfortunately, all of it is forgotten in a couple weeks. Have you been in this situation? Believe us, you’re not alone.
Have you wondered why it’s hard to get your body to become thinner or thicker? Here’s a two-word answer: unrealistic expectations.
We all tend to have them, because we see it as a chore. We want to eat as our heart desires, but still expect the scales to tip in the direction we want; we want to see results immediately; we want maximum benefits from minimum work. And these unrealistic expectations haunt us when we don’t see the desired results.
9 Realistic Things to Remember When Losing or Gaining Weight
It doesn’t all have to be sad – all you have to do is keep your goals realistic and remind yourself of it. Trust us, when you start doing this, you’re more likely to succeed because you’re being patient. If you’re struggling to get fit, here are 9 realistic things to remind yourself of regularly:
1. Don’t aim for perfection, because there is no such thing.
There, we said it. All the actresses whose drop-dead gorgeous bodies you want to have are actually a product of either excruciating exercise, a strict diet or Photoshop – you likely don’t have the time or money for an excruciating workout, and you most definitely can’t airbrush yourself in real life. Instead of losing hope because you can’t look like Priyanka Chopra, try and understand how your body works and set realistic goals – your body and mind will be eternally grateful to you.
2. It is not an overnight process.
You can’t do 15 squats in one gym session and expect to have a toned the next day. What works is consistency – doing those 15 squats everyday for a week and increasing it to 20 through the month can do wonders for your butt, your weighing scale, and your confidence to achieve your goal.
3. You cannot choose between exercising and eating right – you have to both.
There are two kinds of people who have unrealistic expectations when losing weight – one, who thinks that they can eat what they want and then burn it off at the gym, and the other, who doesn’t eat anything and thinks that is enough for them to lose weight. Even people who want to gain weight fall into this conundrum – because they are underweight, they think that eating junk food will not affect them because they have to gain weight anyway. The issue with this is that every body needs exercise and healthy diet – you cannot skip one and expect the other to miraculously change you. If you eat right and exercise at least 30 minutes a day (if not more), you will get the results you need. Don’t skip out on either - they’re equally important!
4. You will have bad days.
Prepare yourself for this – there are days when you will not be able to exercise as well as the other days, or you will end up eating too many slices of pizza at that party. It’s important to remember that this will happen, and it's okay. Everyone is allowed a few slip-ups every now and then, because we tend to feel tempted or lazy or just mentally exhausted sometimes. If you forgive yourself when you slip up, you’re highly likely to get up the next day and get that workout done. Don’t be mean to yourself!
5. There are other ways to track your progress.
We cannot stress this enough. If you’re feeling adventurous, try this – put your weighing scale back into your cupboard and hide it under a pile of clothes, and never look at it again. You have been told all your life that your health status depends on how much you weigh, but that isn’t necessarily true. Your weighing scale simply tells you that you are X kg, but it does not account for how that weight is distributed in your body. 1 kg of fat weighs less than 1 kg of muscle – let that sink in! While working out, you are looking to convert your fat into muscle, so there is a chance you might weigh more when you’re actually healthy – so why use weighing scales to measure? Instead, go for more accurate methods such as body fat percentage. Aside from that, notice other things like if you can do more push-ups than you could do 2 months back, or how many flights of stairs you can climb without huffing and puffing. If you’re eating right and exercising regularly, you are already headed in the right direction.
6. You don’t have to do the exercises everyone else is doing.
Different things work for different bodies and minds – you might love going to the gym, but your friend might actually hate it! You don’t have to do the exercise your friends/husband/peers are doing to get healthy – you can choose what makes you feel most comfortable and stick to that. There are a ton of new types of workouts now – zumba, kickboxing, yoga, MMA, aerobics – take your pick! The idea is to feel comfortable in the way you’re getting fit, and not what the ‘hottest’ workout is.
7. Fad diets do not last.
Never, ever forget this. You might end up losing 20 kg by eating only fruits and one meal a day, but the moment you stop and get back to your regular eating habits, all the weight will come back. Similarly, if you think that eating all that junk food will help you reach your goal weight, it might – but it will also bring a host of problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, low stamina, etc. Fad diets like juice fasts, fruit diets, 2-meals-a-day diets, etc. can cause you more harm, sometimes even in a way that is irreversible. If you want to lose weight in a healthy way, be consistent with the kind of food you are putting in your body – it should be a healthy mix of carbs, protein, fats, vitamins and fibre. And eating on time is the best way you can achieve the results you want.
8. Remember why you started working out.
Every time you feel like you want to give up on your goal of getting fit and healthy, go back and remember why you made this resolution in the first place. Write down the reasons why you wanted to gain/lose weight, and go back to it when you feel down and out. It will restore your strength to achieve it.
9. You can - and you will - do it.
There is nothing you can’t do with a little consistency and self-motivation. Even when you have bad days, the one thing that will make you get up and continue is your need to achieve your goal, and remembering that every day is a great way to pump yourself up for your next workout!
Try telling yourself these 9 things when you’re on the journey to get fit, and watch how a chore turns into a fun, memorable fitness journey!

A. Nasal blockage is very common, specially in small children because of the narrow nasal cavity. Any kind of saline drops like nasal clear will be helpful in dissolving the stuffy secretions, which can be taken out by vnasal aspirator gently also steam inhalation will be helpful also, try to avoid keeping the child directly under the fan.

A. A lot of times normal delivery is actually seen in these cases also if the doctor is quick and the child cooperate then yes normal delivery is very much possible but some doctors don’t take a chance with the health of your child and so they normally suggest C-section so let’s see what’s your situation by the end when you are into your labour
