Whether we are sitting in the next room or miles away, her first question will always be 'kuch khaaya'? Believe it when we say, 'No one, we repeat, no one can ever take her place'. However, a mother can play many roles in her child's life. After all, that is the power of a mother's love.

Television actress, Chhavi Mittal had created a stir on social media with her pregnancy blogs. She had talked about every notion surrounding the pregnant mommies and their bump. However, right after three days of her delivery, she had started her work from the hospital room. The actress had written a long note on the balancing act on her Instagram handle. Her note could be read as:
My feet are so swollen that even flip flops don't fit. So is the rest of my body. My head hurts like it'll explode, due to the spinal tap. I've gone deaf in one ear, also an extremely rare side effect of the spinal tap. I'm supposed to drink 5 litres of water, and getting up to go the loo takes 15 minutes. Lying down is the only position that gives me comfort, sometimes I even eat in that position. But right now, at 1am, I'm doing some office work, when the baby sleeps and there's some peace, because @shittyideastrending 's new Web-series #BinBulayeMehmaan had to be launched today.
Within just a month, Chhavi was back to her office desk, managing her little baby, Arham and her meetings. The actress had shared another note on her Instagram handle. She had revealed how her 'baby boo' stayed calm during the long meetings and story narrations. Her note could be read as:
Little Arham and I resumed office this Thursday. It's a place that he's spent most of his time at while he was in my tummy.. no wonder he was so calm in the midst of discussions, story narrations, meetings. Little entrepreneur in the making completely at home in office! Oh btw, mommies, don't rush to get back to work after the baby, I'm taking it real slow, with just a few hours at the moment at the time of mine and Arham's convenience. Besides I have created my office extremely comfortable for us. Incidentally, I also feel the most at home in office!

I really want the trend to go on because a woman doesn't become less desirable if she gets married or delivers a baby.

Bollywood actress, Kareena Kapoor Khan has redefined motherhood for many mommies. Plus, she has given courage to millions of mothers to go out and work guilt-free. Over the years, Kareena has matured from the sassy 'Poo' to the royal 'Begum', who knows how to strike a perfect balance between her work and her family. The actress had made headlines when she had walked the runway during the last tenure of her first pregnancy. In an interview with Filmfare, the actress had stated how she balances her work and family. She had said:
"We women somehow know how to multitask. I’m enjoying every minute of it. I’m balancing it well. My time with my child is my time. I don’t need to flaunt it on Instagram. I don’t need to flaunt it in front of the media. Like I don’t need to carry my child at the airport to prove how much I love him. My husband too believes it’s not needed. By carrying the child in my arms I don’t need to prove that I’m a hands-on mother. Even if I have two hours with Saif, Taimur and myself in the bedroom, it’s the quality of time and wanting to be together that matters, rather than the quantity of time we spend. I come from that school of parenting."
When Bollywood actress, Neha Dhupia felt the first flutter of her baby her entire world changed for better and in that one time, she knew what love looks like. On November 18, 2018, Neha Dhupia Bedi and her husband, Angad Bedi had welcomed their little angel, Mehr Dhupia Bedi. The actress had left everyone amazed when she had resumed work within a few weeks of bringing her baby girl home. In an interview with the PTI, Neha had talked about why she had resumed work early and had said:
"If I have to mould myself into a certain character, it could be a little while before I could commit myself to it. I don't know physically what the character will expect out of me. I have worked through all shapes and sizes. I was pregnant when I did Roadies and am coming back for a new season after becoming a mother. But for me to play a part, something like a Tumhari Sulu, I need to be there physically 100 per cent. But I won't go slow. I want to be a mom, be on stage, do everything."
Malaika Arora is the most-loved fashionista, who has been ruling the hearts with her fashion skills and charismatic personality. The diva has been beating her 40s with ace and no one can believe she is a mother to an 18-year-old boy, Arhaan Khan. For those who don't know, Malaika was one of the first actresses in the B-town, who had worked during her pregnancy and right after it. However, no one ever talked about it as there was no platform back then. On Neha Dhupia's show, No Filter Neha, the actress had shared:
"I worked before, I worked through, I worked right after, exactly 40 days after. I took that 40 days off of my baby because my mom was like 'No you have to!'. And Exactly 40 days after I was up and about and shooting and working. You know this is so far back. My son is 17 years old. It’s amazing to see so many women today you know who are mothers, who work right through their pregnancy and after because otherwise everybody thinks it’s 'Chalo pack up karke niklo'. So I guess back then when I actually worked throughout, it was pretty amazing, nobody actually knowing about it or talking about it because there was no such platform to talk about it but yeah I remember I first started off with full length, then I went mid, then I went 3/4 and then waist and then bust and then neck till then it was only one eye, one mouth, one lip, one ear."
Malaika had also added that working during her pregnancy had helped her and had said:
"I have been through that whole process so yeah I think the best part about my pregnancy was the fact that I could just be. I was not sitting at home and crying and saying oh god! I'm in pain when will this be over and done with. I worked throughout and I think that's what kept me going."
Well, motherhood is a beautiful phase and a mother should enjoy the whole process, no matter whether she is working during her pregnancy or right after her delivery.
