My two first pregnancies were way too easy. They happened when I was still very young. I did not have any pregnancy symptoms or complications. Even both labours were a piece of cake. I always tell everyone that my two boys love me very much.
Fast forward to years later, my sister started to get pregnant, followed by my two sisters-in-law. Some experienced uncomfortable pregnancies, others experienced somewhat long labour. Experiencing those six births by my relatives by the sideline, I always commented, if not bragged that my two pregnancies were the easiest.
After everyone, have given birth to their precious babies, now is my turn to have another baby. 8 years after my W was born. Amidst all the excitement, I experienced nausea, tiredness, unwanted weight gain, big big tummy, and worst of all, diarrhea in the middle of my pregnancy! Is it because I bragged too much to people about my easy pregnancies? Now I have a taste of my own medicine. I get to experience what it feels like to have an uncomfortable pregnancy.
Just hope that this is not my retribution for bragging. Just hope that the pregnancy is different because the baby is a girl. Just hope that I will have an easy labour come November.
And no more bragging from now onwards. Be humble, please.
