Before I proceed to my writing today I will like to appreciate everyone that has been reading and commenting on my posts, your support has helped me to carry on. Here is a topic that always bothers me a lot and that is MOTHERHOOD, the sound of this word always makes my heart beat faster than normal. Firstly I want to say big kudos to all mothers and upcoming mothers in the world. As a female child, I always look at my mother and feel sorry for her at times because while I was growing up I witness the stress she goes through every day in the house. She goes to work very early in the morning and gets back in the evening tired but instead of resting she rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner because my father must not return from work without meeting his food already set on the dining table. She will be going back and forth putting things together, after dinner she will tidy up the kitchen and then lay us to bed before she could rest. As early as 4 am she is awake again preparing us for school and tidying up the house before she leaves for her place of work.
It continued like that till I grew up to a certain age where I can handle some things in the house and that arose a question in my heart " is this how I will be stressing myself when I finally become a mother? Then I see it's indeed hard work taking care of my husband and children including the house chores. But what choice do I have, I am a female child it is part of what is requested of me as a woman what I can do is to prepare myself well to have the home I always dream of. The shocking part of it all that gives me goosebumps is the pregnancy, childbearing, and child-raising stage and that is the major work.
Going into the nursing profession I already had it in mind that since I will be gathering experiences due in my profession pregnancy and childbearing shouldn't be a problem for me but when I see women in labor my mind always skipped like 100 times reminding me that one day I will be in a such position too. Kudos to all mothers out there once again for all their sacrifices.
During pregnancy, the stress of having another life in you can be so tiring that's when you will feel like eating odd foods while some will not be able to eat. I remembered one of my patients during her pregnancy stage the only food she eats is moimoi and I wonder why a normal human being will feel like eating moimoi over and over again. Then after this is the childbearing stage which is breathtaking, a stage some don't survive while some did survive it. God gave it to some the easy way while some have to fight their way through for safe delivery. After successful childbirth raising a child is one big step again because whoever the child becomes in the future fingers are pointed at the mother this is the reason why we must train up our children in the best way, give time out for them, hear them out and play with them and be their best friend so that they can easily approach us. Mother's role is very important in child's life , be a role model to your children as a mother. A mother is a caretaker and she must be a great one in order to control her home well.
