Nia ang pipila sa mga testimonya sa mga first-time mom ug ang ilang mga kalipay ug pakigbisog karong nanay na sila. Kining maong artikulo atong gihimo isip yukbo sa espesyal nga adlaw sa mga inahan karong Dominggo. Happy Mother’s Day!
ANGEL MAE DAKAY and BABY ARKEISHA NIÑA D. CABAHUG
“Most fulfilling part as a mom is that I was able to breastfeed her from birth until now. It was very difficult from the start because you will experience all the pain plus I delivered via C-section.”
Mao ni kon ihulagway ni Angel Mae Dakay, 22, ang iyang pagkainahan ni Baby Arki nga iyang gipanganak niadtong Enero 3, 2020.
“At 1 year and 4 months she can speak lots of words (Mama, Dada). She is very outgoing, she loves to go to the beach and play in the sand,” dugang pa sa kanhi beauty queen.
“Motherhood absolutely changed my life. Everything I do now is for her, for Kev (Kevin Cabahug), for my family. It changes my perspective on what life really is and it’s really precious. We can never turn back time so we need to enjoy every bit of it as we watch them grow and become an amazing individual in the future.”
“Also, it’s very important to have a solid support system. Just like me, my partner Kev has always been hands on from the very start. Most mothers after giving birth, they experience post-partum depression so it’s very important to have a partner which supports you physically, mentally and most of all, emotionally. We never planned for this but we do believe that this is God’s gift to us. Arki just came at the right time when things were about to fall apart.”
LERSLY ANN GONZA and BABY LESY BELLA FEGARIDO
“Ang pinakalisud kay pirme lang kulang ang tulog ug pirme way klarong pahuway. Kadtong bulan pa lang, grabe ka kapoy kay kada-tungang gabie na lang mohilak. Dili ra ba ta kasabot unsay iyang gipamati. Ang buhaton nako, ako siyang patotyon dayon apilan og kanta ug sayaw aron siya makatulog. Kung makatulog na siya, mokawat sad kog piyong pero ang nakapait mumata na pod na taod-taod ug maghilak na pod. Usahay kay di na gyud matulog bisag unsaon.”
Si Lersly Ann Gonza, 25, kanhi Miss Boljoon ug kanhi finalist sa Bb. Cebu, usa ka full-time mom sa una nilang liwat sa iyang fiancé nga si Romy Fegarido nga usa ka seaman.
“Grabe kalisud akong naagian pero karon nga 1 year old na si baby Bingbing, makatulog na hinuon kog taas-taas. Nanganak ko March 5, 2020. Kon sa una tag-30 minutes ko maligo, karon taas na kaayo ang 5 minutes. Magkagidlay na ang agi, wala nay maayong postura. Pero mas malipayon ko karon. Kapoy pero very fulfilling.”
“Para nako, ang pagka-inahan ang pinakalisod nga trabaho sa kalibutan. Mao nga higugmaa pod ang inyong kaugalingon ug pikpika ang imong abaga nga, “You are doing a great job mama!”
MEIL SELVOSA and BABY JASMEI SNOW SANIEL
“I think all the first-time mom will agree with me nga ang pinakalisud sa tanan kanang gamay ra kaayo kag kinatulgan ug halos wala na kay time sa imong self. But being a mother is the most beautiful and surreal nga akong na-experience sa life.”
Ang commercial model nga si Meil Selvosa nikumpisal nga sa edad nga 22 daghan siya og mga adjustment ug realization isip first-time mom.
“I think moms also deserve a break, we also deserve to have some fun. I know kitang mga mama we want everything nga organized and we always questioned if we are doing the right thing for our kids. But don’t be too hard on yourself. It’s a real struggle and that’s okay. I know life isn’t about me anymore. It’s a lifetime commitment.”
“Baby Jimgirl is now 7 months old and very bubbly. Kusog na kaayo mokatawa. I gave birth September 24, 2020 at the height of the pandemic.”
Kon duna na ba silay planong magpakasal sa amahan niining si James Robert Saniel nga usa ka indie actor sa Manila? “I don’t want to rush things just because we have a baby. Mas priority namo karon ang needs sa bata, especially nga pandemic pa. We do have plans but in God’s perfect time.”
