3 heroes in my life

The success of a woman is heavily dependent on the men in her life, and marriage plays a crucial role in shaping her life for better or for worse. Choosing the right partner is essential to maintaining inner peace and career advancement. My dad, partner for thirty years, has always been my first hero, but in this blog, I want to highlight two other heroes in my life.

Pregnancy brings about significant physical and emotional changes in a woman's life, making her realize the importance of having a supportive partner by her side. The purpose of this post is not to broadcast about how fortunate I am, but to address a common misconception among women that men do not offer genuine support or understanding. I used to think the same before marriage, but I want to assure women that there are men in this world who love, care for their partners, and respect women. They are rare, but they exist, and we need to find them.

If you are a man reading this, I hope this post will encourage you to support your pregnant wife. It may be challenging to understand her anxieties and insecurities during this phase, but the support you provide will be cherished forever.

Okay. Let’s jump to the crux of the article.

As an expectant mother, I was filled with anxiety and self-doubt about the impending labor. However, having a supportive partner by my side turned my apprehensions into hope and optimism. My partner believed in my abilities and encouraged me to pursue my dreams of writing a book, making movies, and raising our kids to the best of my abilities.

At the onset of my pregnancy, I was fortunate enough to have minimal morning sickness. However, as the second month approached, I was plagued with constant nausea, and I found myself throwing up everything I ate or drank. My partner was my constant support system during this tiering time. He held my head while I vomited and helped clean up after me.

His unwavering support and love gave me the strength and motivation to carry on through the challenges of pregnancy. With each passing day, I gained more confidence in my ability to overcome any obstacle that came my way.

Through the ups and downs of pregnancy, my partner remained a steady and dependable presence in my life. His unwavering support and encouragement helped me overcome my fears and self-doubt, and I am forever grateful for his unwavering love and belief in me.

He never once asked me to cook dinner and always made sure I was well-fed, even during my food cravings. Whenever I suffered from heartburn, he provided me with juice to soothe my discomfort.

As my pregnancy progressed, simple tasks like cutting my nails became a challenge. My partner helped me in chopping my nails and never once hesitated to reach my legs or tie my shoes for me.

He also made sure I never missed a single maternity appointment, even if it meant prioritizing my appointments over his office work. He would always arrange pillows to make me more comfortable during back pain and even provided hot pack massages to help alleviate my discomfort.

Due to hormone changes, it is said that a woman could not control their emotions. Though my hormones were kind enough and fortunately I never had major violent outbursts. (But yes, my partner should comment whether I had violent outburst or not 😊), But, I did weep for no reasons and become cranky. He accepted my strange behavior. He constantly reassured me that I was normal, and that I was his greatest gift of all.

We do fight, but those fights and anger always melts down with his sense of humor and we just sit back and laugh at the chaos and most important we forget immediately.

Being an active runner, he stopped running when I got pregnant and was gaining weight matching to mine. Whenever I ask, he would say, “I am gaining weight so that you don’t feel guilt about your weight gain” I did not actually believe his words, but after my delivery he is back on his track and run every day. Now I release he was true. This is the best thing and no men will do.

I respect him so much that when I came out of the labor I wanted to see him first and he was there waiting for me. My pregnancy days would have not been so joyful without his support.

Dear partner, I am the luckiest girl in the world to have met you and made the best decision of marrying you. I thank you for trusting me enough. I will never forget your support and kindness and I thank you every day when I see our son. You are my safe place and I love you dearly

Did I mention 3 heroes in my life? Yes, another hero is my SON.
