Motherhood knocked at my door in silent steps at a
time, when I expected it the least. However, it did not deter the extreme
ecstatic joy I experienced at the first mention of it. Oblivious of the challenges
ahead, like the truly ambitious, hardworking and aggressive
professional that I always was, I thought mommy-hood will be a similar cakewalk
and I will excel at it as was my habit. Was it an easy task?
Though I faced complications from Day 1 due to a
very low lying placenta and excessive amniotic fluid, I worked until the last
day of my pregnancy. Without my sister or mother for guidance, the journey
through those tough months seemed tougher. I heavily relied on the Internet and
had it not been for BabyChakra, its step-by-step guidance at every stage pre-
and post-maternity (along with an awesome gang of supportive mommies always
ready to shelve genuine hands-on tips, who
they call MomStars), I would not have sailed through the rough moments with such ease.
Luckily, in all of my 3 trimesters, I spent my
nights with my baby - talking to him and caressing him every moment I could.
The mornings however were uncomfortable, when I would wake up to a new problem
each day - severe heartburn, acute morning sickness or absolute inability to
retain anything in stomach. Thus, I developed this amusing habit of laughing at
myself every morning and quietly logging on to BabyChakra for help.
I, undoubtedly, always got the best advice. They
helped me improve my diet and also introduced me to pregnancy yoga which worked
wonders for my system. As I could not digest the calcium tablets, the panel
experts suggested many natural substitutes for high calcium. Some mothers even
went ahead and taught me some very healthy and tasty calcium rich recipes!
In due course of time, Babychakra became my family
and I started to love and cherish my association with it. This only got deeper
when my little angel finally entered the world safe and sound.
Well, it was after his birth that I realized that
the challenges of motherhood during pregnancy were just the tip of an iceberg.
Fortunately, by this time I knew where to seek the most trusted answers for
almost everything from feeding, nursing to infant foods and weaning - the list
was endless. To top it all, my little peanut was initially lactose intolerant,
but every valuable input I needed came at the right time from their experts!
In fact, I got all the information for the
wonderful birthing boutique where I delivered my baby, from this holistic
website itself - so we booked a package well in advance, after reading candid
reviews about it. Thus, when my water bag broke at a mere 32 weeks of
gestation, everything was smoothly streamlined and well managed even though my
gynecologist was out of town!
As my baby grew, I downloaded the BabyChakra App
(Android only) on my mobile - thus, acquiring the best information on play
schools, party planning, toddler learning, play areas near me or any such mommy
needs, at the touch of a button.
On account of the fact that Babychakra has been so instrumental in the all round development of my child,
being a part of this esteemed community has become a way of life for me. I
truly owe this earnest note of gratitude to them, straight from the heart.
The cherries on the cake are the numerous mommy
buddies which BabyChakra has gifted me with. Since all of us have crossed the
same stages of life at different points of time, it is heart-warming to aid
each other with our learning. It's pure joy to having come across them just
when I needed them!
All in all, Babychakra is truly a great parenting platform, offering access to experts, product and service providers with reviews on them, advice on health, learning, play and travel, and most of all, a multitude of fellow mums. I hope, more and more young parents in India are able to get childcare related help and timely advice from BabyChakra. It is such a life saver!
