Where there is a will, there is a way!
“Neha, your body is not responding to the pregnancy very well. You could end up losing your baby if you do not take precautions” I still remember those words from the Gynaecologist very clearly. Everything in my life has been so perfect, I was doing very well in my job and was stepping up the corporate ladder quickly. A top performer and a lucky wife, I couldn’t ask for more.

“Neha, your body <strong>is</strong> not responding to the pregnancy very well. You could end<br />
up losing your baby if you do not take precautions” I still remember those<br />
words from the Gynaecolog<strong>is</strong>t very clearly.<br />
Everything in my life has been so perfect, I was doing very well in my job and<br />
was stepping up the corporate ladder quickly. A top performer and a lucky<br />
wife, I couldn’t ask for more.<br />
My life partner who also happened to be my close friend al<strong>way</strong>s supported me<br />
through thick and thins and I got married to him at the age of 30.<br />
We decided to get into parenthood after two years and it all began. My<br />
pregnancy was complicated My doctor adv<strong>is</strong>ed me strict bed rest and I had no<br />
option but to resign. I had to take a break in my career. I was not mentally<br />
prepared for it. All of a sudden it felt like the end of my career. I was very<br />
much in despair with th<strong>is</strong> thought. My husband consoled me. He said it <strong>is</strong> a<br />
short phase and <strong>will</strong> pass. But I was not ready to accept. After resigning, I<br />
stayed at home just sleeping on the bed. We hired a maid for doing all<br />
household work.<br />
But sitting at home taking rest doing nothing was a tough situation for me. Just<br />
playing with the mobile, l<strong>is</strong>tening to songs, watching T.V. and sleeping was my<br />
daily routine. Soon my life became stagnant resulting in my mood swings. My<br />
husband got worried. After consulting with a counsellor he suggested me to<br />
look for work from home options. I also agreed with him. I wanted to come out<br />
of stagnancy. So I started browsing for any work from home opportunities to<br />
relieve the boredom of life.<br />
I came across Pink Desk which <strong>is</strong> establ<strong>is</strong>hed only for women with the m<strong>is</strong>sion<br />
of women’s growth and empowerment. They are helping women to share<br />
their ideas, knowledge in the field of their interest. I found it interesting and<br />
reg<strong>is</strong>tered <strong>there</strong>. Soon I started blogging about my interests like beauty,<br />
fashion, and travel. In a few days, I started getting a good response too. It was<br />
like exploring and finding ‘me’ within that was m<strong>is</strong>sing for a long time . It has<br />
made my pregnancy bearable and I am mostly too occupied to think of the<br />
complications and problems that might ar<strong>is</strong>e. I am even sharing my experience<br />
with other women who might be going through similar phase and soon plan to<br />
form a close knit community to deal with pregnancy related complications.
Sometimes <strong>there</strong> comes an unexpected turn in life and you don’t have any<br />
other option but to face it and find a path through it. If you have a positive<br />
attitude of looking at the problems as opportunities in d<strong>is</strong>gu<strong>is</strong>e, you can<br />
definitely find a solution. Now I feel like I am doing much more than just<br />
earning for myself and I am building an identity beyond the walls of a<br />
corporate office. Afterall <strong>Where</strong> <strong>there</strong> <strong>is</strong> a <strong>will</strong>, <strong>there</strong> <strong>is</strong> a <strong>way</strong>!
