It’s not an INSTAGRAM WORTHY PICTURE but I would love to share it with you guys today. I have been sick for past 3 days and today finally gave up to fast. I couldn’t take the head-spins, body aches, fever chills and lethargic feeling. I feel so hurt and sad that after 3 years of not fasting I finally had a chance and still my body is not ready. Well I finally went to the doctor and explained him what’s happening and he told me it sounds like your body has gotten weaker by these few fasts. He said AFTER HAVING TWO KIDS IN MATTER OF 2 YEARS YOUR BODY IS NOT COPYING WELL WITH FASTING. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DEHYDRATED AND YOU NEED MULTIVITAMINS TO GET YOUR BODY BACK TO NORMAL. I came home and I cried. Cried so much that fever got back to me. Husband took the kids to bed and I was lying there on the sofa thinking what could I have done. I do accept the fact that post pregnancy I did not care for my body, I did not build my immune system back and most importantly why do I bring multi vitamins for my kids and husband and actually, genuinely forget to buy my own. So today is one of those days where I lost all my hope because I woke up with massive headache and baba was with the kids but he didn’t feed tht well and when I woke up I had to deal with two cranky kids crying and throwing tantrums like never before. I shouted at my older one and realized how wrong I am right now, it’s not his fault. I got myself together and fed them and now put them for a nap. Lying down here I realized the old saying HAPPY MOTHER HAPPY KIDS (or however it goes) We women are built with this feeling to take care of others before ourselves. But please I repeat and cannot day this enough TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF LIKE YOU WOULD FOR YOUR FAMILY. PUT YOURSELF FIRST TO BE THERE FOR YOUR FAMILY IN A BETTER WAY. AND PLEASE BE KIND TO EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW SOMEONE IS HAVING A TERRIBLE TIME IN THEIR LIVES. I would like to hear about your struggles too. #mothers #selfcare #selfhelp #ramadan #awareness #post #dubaiblogger #dubai #blogger #mommyblogger #mum (at Dubai, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxUOHRdHoMp/?igshid=1q95kzdqjgdcd
