The Coming Of New Life: A Mother’s Love For Her Unborn Child

No other situation brings more joy, happiness and abundance than a woman anticipating the arrival of new life.

It is at this time that a mother is truly born. New dreams and hopes for her unborn child arise in her: hopes and dreams that will later permeate the core of the whole family.

“I was overjoyed to feel the arrival of new life within myself,” claim those who had this unique experience. 

Every mother is overwhelmed with joy when she hears the heartbeat of her unborn child for the first time. The first time when she feels the subtle fluttering movements of the fetus in her belly. The coming of new life is like a sweet caress to the soul.

After many hours of hard labor during childbirth, a mother is able to turn all the physical pain and torment she has just experienced into unconditional love.

However,  anyone who says that a mother’s love begins when she first holds her baby in her arms is completely wrong. 

Motherhood, love from the first step

Without a doubt, the beginning of a mother’s love and joy is when she realizes that her body harbors new life. 

Her womb became a cradle. Her breasts — now warm and more protruding — will soon be a source of food and a way to bond with her newborn.

A woman knows she is a mother during the first ultrasound. It is impossible for her to hold back tears at the rapid heartbeat of her child. Her heart is beating just as fast, completely overwhelmed with joy from first contact with her unborn baby.

The joy of the mother continues to grow at the feeling of those small and subtle steps in her womb. They remind her that she will never be alone in her life again.

It is then that she discovers the truth: the miracle of life is happening right there and now, in her own womb.

Motherhood begins when a mother finds that her goal in life is not to be perfect, but to be happy. 

Moreover, she finds that true and pure happiness can only be achieved if we share it with those we love. With her partner and with this little creature that is growing inside her.

The arrival of new life: a special bond

No doubt many women struggle to understand how such a strong bond came about. But every woman who has been pregnant understands this. That unique and special bond is formed the moment we discover that we will become mothers.

The new mom is eager to take her little ray of sunshine in her arms for the first time. She knows they are connected for life. Every ultrasound, every little movement becomes a milestone in the mother’s life.

Yet the mother knows that she still has a long period of waiting ahead of her.

For the next nine months she will have to make do with the blurry echoes on a black and white screen before coming face to face with her son or daughter. Before she will know the color of her skin, hair and eyes.

She will have to cherish every little step that will become more intense by the day. Until she can finally caress her baby’s soft skin with her own hands.

During the pregnancy, the woman feels an overwhelming urge to forge a bond with the life that beats inside her. Therefore, while resting, she will try to connect.

Instinctively she will start to caress her belly. The circular movements of her hands are like a calm and loving conversation with her child – a kind of lullaby.

Dear Mama, if you recognize yourself in these words: rest assured, the desires you feel are healthy and not without purpose.

Several scientific studies prove the positive effects of prenatal contact between mothers and their unborn babies.

Even reading stories or playing music during pregnancy is surprisingly beneficial for your baby’s development.

The day will come when life will divide…

The moment is here. New life is coming more than ever. Your water breaks and you feel a sweet pain – the pain that heralds the arrival of new life in this world. 

You must be strong now, for yourself and especially for your baby. The strongest love ever, the one you’ve been waiting for so impatiently, is about to arrive.

Suddenly the days of carrying another life within yourself are over. The suffering that accompanies childbirth is also over.

You see the new life with your own eyes and cradle it in your arms. Finally you believe in love at first sight, although you used to question it so many times.

Your whole world changes when you hear that first cry and look into your child’s eyes for the first time.
