To give life

9 months may be a short time. But Somehow when you are IN the 9 months, experiencing it, it is not as easy as it seems.

To give life. Of couse this process would not be a walk to the park. Not buying a puppy from the petshop but to give life. Contributing part of yourself to create this new being, that will be apart from your flesh.

Being happy and worried at the same time as you cant see whats going inside of you. At some point, you get that sick feeling in your stomach. Like when you get food poisoning. But then its not, its just the life growing inside of you tummy. Making strange sensations in your stomach.

And like the 9 months is not enough to prove your undying commitment to this process, you don't get a cherry at the end. You get more pain, more strange sensations. That's child birth. And finally this new life that you finally get to meet and bring home.

Its still not the end. You survive sleepless nights with crying baby and tiredness from all the extra work.

But why do people do it?

Everything borne out of sweat and tears is always sweeter and rewarding isnt it? And no matter what you've done in life. This is the one thing that you did right somehow. Because you allowed part of you to be passed on. And with a hope that this little you will do more right than you did in your life. Although the satisfaction won't be guaranteed, its the hope that makes people try.
