For some, they start having morning sickness. For some its craving. For some they get emotional.
I did not get any of the above.
I knew I was pregnant through Yoga.
The year was 2004. I went for my regular Yoga class. At that time I could not touch my toes when I was sitting down. No paschimottanasan(seated, forward bend) for me. I would say I was a beginner.
It was a normal Hatha class. Nothing vigorous or too challenging. We did the normal warm up etc. Then the instructor told us to slowly touch the floor or knees according to our abilities. I did as I was instructed. Then she instructed that we slowly stand back up. I did very very slow. But I found myself to be light headed. On the second try, I was light headed again. This never happened to me, ever. I felt a little dizzy and decided to sit down.
After that I continued and did what I could manage.
After the class, as I walked out I wondered what was wrong with me as I never had that sensation before.
Since I was late, I decided to buy a pregnancy test kit.
I was not expecting anything but I would be very happy if I was expecting.
I saw two red bars. I could not believe my eyes.
I was pregnant for the second time.
So ladies, while doing YOga if you find something is amiss, maybe you are just expecting a little bambino or maybe you are not. Get it checked.
Here I am with the little bimbino, 14 years after.
