In my first pregnancy, I felt so unsure. Stay away from family who can give advises about how to caring my pregnancy, hit a 'helpless feeling' to me. So many questions stay in my mind. Although I have health education back ground it's not then made me felt ready about my first pregnancy.
Let me tell you. In my early pregnancy I needed to know how to overcome my feelings (happy but worry), I needed an older woman who talked to me about how about her pregnancy was. Felt being protected, understood, fulfilled, reck,...are most needed for me.
And then what can I do? To fulfill my need for knowledge of my pregnancy, I hunted books and magazines at bookstore. I went to doctor to checked up my health. I ate pills to cover my dizziness. It's helpful for me. But, seriously, I needed someone to share with about my feelings in my early pregnancy.
How about music? Yes, music was good. It would comfort me and made me relax. I was love to listening soft music to calming my emotion that sometimes upset and down changed in short time.
I still worked in my early pregnancy. Yes, with that dizziness and nausea. I woke up in the morning with my morning sickness. Fortunately, my morning sickness was not so bad so I could take my breakfast. Although a little, but it better than not any food in my stomach, right?
Unfortunately my husband seemed not ready with my pregnancy. So,...he was as happy as me but... as worry as me, too!
Remembering my first in early pregnancy make me think why traditional helper in pregnancy and labor -like indigenous midwives- still alive is because women need a companion in their important times.
So, if you have your friend or family in her first and early pregnancy you can share your experience during pregnancy if she ask you. Belive me, whatever your experience was, it is useful.
