Share your pregnancy tip for expecting mothers, and win prizes from Westland Books
Every woman who’s gone through a pregnancy has a secret. Or many. Share yours!
Ranging from “Eat a spoonful of ghee every day” to “Listen to Mozart for expecting mothers”, we’re sure you’ve heard a load of tips for a happy, healthy pregnancy.
But, what did YOU do for a happy and healthy pregnancy?
This month, Women’s Web in association with Westland Books brings you the “Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy” blog contest. The contest runs from 13th October to 24rd October. Read on for more details and don’t forget to put up your entries on time!
Westland Books, our contest partner has an excellent resource for expecting mothers, Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy by noted obstetrician-gynaecologist, Dr. Gita Arjun. India’s first definitive guide for expectant parents, Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy covers topics ranging from pre-conceptional counselling to demystifying pregnancy and explaining away the many myths that surround it to the care of the newborn itself. The book holds rare insights into the physical and emotional needs of both mother and child—with a chapter dedicated to the modern would-be father as well.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Menopause is a reality in women's lives, so Indian workplaces need to gear up and address women's menopausal needs.
Picture this: A seasoned executive at the peak of her career suddenly grapples with hot flashes and sleep disturbances during important meetings. She also battles mood swings and cognitive changes, affecting her productivity and confidence. Eventually, she resigns from her job.
Fiction? Not really. The scenario above is a reality many women face as they navigate menopause while meeting their work responsibilities.
Menopause is the time when a woman stops menstruating. This natural condition marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. The transition brings unique physical, emotional, and psychological changes for women.
