Hi girls,

Yesterday i had my traditional baby shower.I really enjoyed it.Many friends came and we received lots of presents for the baby.I am very very tired today as i was helping my mother in law the whole day to prepare food for the friends.Today morning i could'nt even stand up on my feet.Yesterday i thought that i will deliver in the night itself as i was that much tired.I am worried whether doing lots of work will affect the baby in anyway.Please can u girls tell me whether it will affect the baby or not if we strain very much.Nowadays i strain my self a lot by doing lots of work.I don't take much rest.

I miss my mom a lot now:-(.I missed my parents very much yesterday during the baby shower......

Okay girls just wanted to share with u people.

take care
love from
kals Nick replied. Congrats for ur baby shower and shall love to see pics.do post some on our yahoo site.And take rest whenever u can.U are atleast lucky to have ur MIL as many parents are unable to come because of visa.I have heard of many new parents having to go through all of pregnancy and taking care of baby alone.
So having someone always helps so much.
As others said u whould take rest whenever u can as it is essential.
Suni replied. Hi Kals,

Sounds like you had a fun baby shower. But do listen to your body, if you are feeling tired, then sit down and put your feet up. Any time after week 37 the baby is considered full term, but we need the rest as much these days since there is hard work ahead of us during labor.
Do post some pictures of your traditional baby shower, would love to look at them...hope Anu posts hers too.
Now that your MIL is there, you should not be working at all, just relax and get pampered. Whenever you miss your mom too much, sit down and write her a long letter, after the delivery you can send all the letters to her, this will be such a beautiful package for your mom to receive, especially since she will also be missing you tons during this time. And writing your feelings down is very therapeutic too.

Take Care
Suni Uma replied. Hi Kals,

I can understand as these days i too am missing my mom so badly and pls don't tire urself so much as even these days i tend to overdo as MIL is also very old plus she is new to this environment.I had already been to see my Doctor twice in emergency as i had real severe pain and now the Doctor has advised me complete bedrest(no cooking nd no washing)
So i wud advise u to pls take rest and don't tire urself otherwise ur little angel will feel that ur not taking care of urself nd her also and she will then plan to come early which we mom don't want right ? (this is wht all my frnds r advising me also) so pls take it easy and rest as much as u can at this moment.
Rest enjoy the gifts that u received,and pls do take care of urself.

Enjoy,

I too had traditional babyshower this sunday at 4:00PM. I enjoyed it very much. My mom did everything for me.
I can understand that you are missing your mom. But try to take it easy. Atleast your MIL is there to help.So, don't feel bad, it is not good for your baby.
Do take lot of rest. Don't strain yourself.

Ritu replied. Hi Kals ,
Pls dont tire yourself . The Lamaaz teacher says that labour is serious hardwork so one one should be rested during and before labour. So pls take it easy .
Best wishes,
Ritu
