Prathamaja - The First Born

First- borns hold a very special position even though the parents love all their children equally.

It's the wonder of the first-born where the mother for the first time in her life watches her body change, it is the first heart that she creates and the first heart beat that she hears

She learns so much from her first born through whom she embarks on a journey of discovery. She uncovers her strengths and also weaknesses, She develops a confidence to be a caretaker, to be a mother. The bond with her first born can never be challenged or displaced.

For the Father life changes. For the first time there is a realisation of responsibilities. There is excitement and a love never experienced before as he cradles the new born,hears the first sounds,  as he watches his first born grow up,  and assumes the role of friend ,philosopher and guide.
