actually my doc kinda just depended on my reading of the HPT and then took scan and confirmed pregnancy! no blood test etc. She said do you have to go for the vacation??!! i was like yeah! i mean we have been planning this for 3 months! gee!
but ofcos, if she had insisted we would have cancelled the trip! she didnt and off we were! :) she very sweetly told me that 40% pregnancies tend to get terminated in first 3 months and theres not much one can do about it other than basic precautions. i just nodded and got back to packing.
i was kinda scared but my fears were put to complete rest by rachna chachi who said, if your body rejects something, it usually means its not good for it! so dont worry!
after that therew as no looking back. we were on a whirlwind trip! and tho it sounds weird, we hardly slept on the same beds two nights in a row. Lucknow with its awesome chat and thick malaidar lassi was first indulgence. The only other precaution taken was drinking mineral water if outside homes. there was ofcos chat in delhi before that at IITF at pragati maidan of all places! we travelled bewteen few cities by state transport buses, hogged on special puri subzi off ambala streets and the works.
thankfully total lack of morning sickness or giddyness etc kept me all OK other than fatigue. Then ofcos came the part of hiding from people. Since first 3 months are so delicate and unpredictable and we werent excatly lying low, even closest friends and relatives couldnt be told! i am sure they wondered why i would go and lie down suddenly or whyw as mayunk hovering over me all the time asking me if i was doing ok?! :)
i think we managed to keep it to ourselves pretty well. Ofcos you cannot a fool a really old and experienced eye. Mayunk's naani asked him on 2nd day of our stay in lucknow itself - "sirf sardi zukaam hai, yaa aur bhi kuch?" hehe!
she being the reason of our trip (i had never met her and she couldnt make it to the wedding), we didnt have the heart to lie to her. she was overjoyed and gave her blessing which i am sure kept Bumpy safe through all our travel travails.
i sure hope you are strong kid Bumpy who will enjoy an iced gola from chowpatty as much as the fancy ice cream from Baskin and Robbins and not fall ill 'coz it wasnt mineral water! ;)
Bumpy, i think i can feel yout chhotaa chhotaa movements now, tho not full blown kicking as yet! you be gentle to your mom, OK??
Love ya lots! :)
