Ectopic pregnancy

Ectopic means "out of place". In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egg has implanted outside the uterus. It can be implanted in the ovary, abdomen, or the cervix. The egg settles in the fallopian tubes, which are commonly called "tubal pregnancies". None of these areas has as much space or nurturing tissue as a uterus for a pregnancy to develop. As the fetus grows, it will eventually burst the organ that contains it. This can cause severe bleeding and endanger the mother's life. A classical ectopic pregnancy does not develop into a live birth.

What could be the most encouraging words to tell to a friend who is lying in bed for almost nine months suffering from Ectopic pregnancy? She is crying for help, for prayers and miracles! She is ready to sacrifice everything, even her life, just to keep her baby inside to survive and have a chance to see the beautiful things of the world! But my prayer is to keep them both alive and survive! Her doctors said it would really be a bloody delivery when its time! Only by Faith in God that this pregnant mom helps her to remain calm and expect for positive result in every change happens each day until seeing them both really okay after giving birth!

It is harder being a mom than being an expectant mom

No greater joy is felt when you had known that you are conceiving a child. A child that you can proudly say "A child of my own!" You wouldn't mind the miraculous changes of your body and mood swings month after month until delivering the most precious inside your womb.

I've seen many pregnant women who are enjoying their pregnancy period. Most of them are very health conscious and others strongly believe in pregnancy superstitious and wholeheartedly follow what are best practices during pregnancy just to keep the fetus healthy and witty from the start of conception until he grows from the real world!

But I realized, it is harder to become a mom, from the 1st day when the baby is born. Keeping baby's safety and health while he was still inside the womb doesn't stop when you successfully delivered him after nine months of pregnancy period. During pregnancy, sometimes you can't cope with your emotional and body changes,yet you keep yourself strong for your baby.Now that he is born, all the more that you need to be strong because your precious one needs your wings to carry him until he knows how to manage his own life. It is harder to control him since a lot of things and people may influence his growth from day to day. Being an expectant mom ends on the ninth month! Being a mom is a lifetime, it even starts from day one of conception.

Proud Daddy after Pregnancy

During pregnancy, most of the fathers' to be are also mixed emotions. They maybe feel excited, worried or bored. Like expectant mothers' emotions too. Oftentimes, the excitement of a husband is not really visible during pregnancy but you will see how worried he is at the time his wife is feeling discomfort and in much pain during the final stage of pregnancy. And, I had never seen him so proud when he saw his baby was born atlast.

One day, he went to see my son. To my surprised, he let me see a picture of a beautiful baby and he said "that's my daughter"! I never thought this would come, my heart cries when I saw him so proud and happy. Yet, I showed him that I am strong. I was really happy to see him maturing this time. I'd just wish I saw him so proud like that when I gave birth to his son.

Every father, should feel that way. They should be proud of every child that adds to their families. At the time of pregnancy, parents should treat their children equally in love, care and time. The joy of pregnancy is much more intense when the baby is born!
