Where there is a will, there is a way!

“Neha, your body is not responding to the pregnancy very well. You could end up losingrnyour baby if you do not take precautions” I still remember those words from thernGynaecologist very clearly.rnEverything in my life has been so perfect, I was doing very well in my job and was steppingrnup the corporate ladder quickly. A top performer and a lucky wife, I couldn’t ask for more.rnMy life partner who also happened to be my close friend always supported me through thickrnand thins and I got married to him at the age of 30.rnWe decided to get into parenthood after two years and it all began. My pregnancy wasrncomplicated My doctor advised me strict bed rest and I had no option but to resign. I had torntake a break in my career. I was not mentally prepared for it. All of a sudden it felt like thernend of my career. I was very much in despair with this thought. My husband consoled me.rnHe said it is a short phase and will pass. But I was not ready to accept. After resigning, Irnstayed at home just sleeping on the bed. We hired a maid for doing all household work.rnBut sitting at home taking rest doing nothing was a tough situation for me. Just playing withrnthe mobile, listening to songs, watching T.V. and sleeping was my daily routine. Soon my lifernbecame stagnant resulting in my mood swings. My husband got worried. After consultingrnwith a counsellor he suggested me to look for work from home options. I also agreed withrnhim. I wanted to come out of stagnancy. So I started browsing for any work from homernopportunities to relieve the boredom of life.rnI came across Pink Desk which is established only for women with the mission of women’srngrowth and empowerment. They are helping women to share their ideas, knowledge in thernfield of their interest. I found it interesting and registered there. Soon I started blogging aboutrnmy interests like beauty, fashion, and travel. In a few days, I started getting a good responserntoo. It was like exploring and finding ‘me’ within that was missing for a long time . It hasrnmade my pregnancy bearable and I am mostly too occupied to think of the complicationsrnand problems that might arise. I am even sharing my experience with other women whornmight be going through similar phase and soon plan to form a close knit community to dealrnwith pregnancy related complications.rnSometimes there comes an unexpected turn in life and you don’t have any other option butrnto face it and find a path through it. If you have a positive attitude of looking at the problemsrnas opportunities in disguise, you can definitely find a solution. Now I feel like I am doingrnmuch more than just earning for myself and I am building an identity beyond the walls of arncorporate office. Afterall Where there is a will, there is a way!rn2
