In Conversation with a GENIE.

"Life suddenly changes " , I thought when someone gets pregnant but it doesn't seem to be true. I was the same happy immature bubbly person. My pregnancy never changed be a bit. It may have helped me become a little more patient and tolerant. But i still remain impulsive and spontaneous. The first time I saw my scan with a small foetus, oh my god! I just couldn't believe that a child like person like me is becoming a MOTHER. There was happiness to see my baby and also sadness that I am no longer the youngest in the family. There is someone finally to take my place. So my replacement is developing within me. What an irony!

No sooner did my mother got the news , I started getting instructions ( still getting the instructions even after 3 months of pregnancy). One of the instruction was to talk to the foetus and recite mythological stories. Just like abhimanyu (son of arjun and Krishna's sister) who went on listening to krishna who was teaching his sister how to get into "chakra vyuha" when abhimanyu was still in his mother's womb. I wanted to give a try and since that day i started talking to my foetus.

For a week I suffered from insomnia. I researched and found that insomnia was one of the pregnancy effects. I was angry ( sometimes because i was pregnant and sometimes because baby takes 9 months ). I wanted a ready made baby. I even had to suffer from morning sickness also. I was feeling very miserable . I had stopped talking to the foetus. But one night as i lay on the bed an idea struck to me , why not ask the person who caused my insomnia to cure it. I caressed my tummy as if caressing and cuddling my baby and requesting it to bring me sleep . Immediately I started to yawn . I was extremely happy. I was convinced that babies can hear their mothers. I started calling my young baby "GENIE" my "BABY GENIE".
