Pregnancy is joyful, but hanging out with friends and going to parties during your pregnancy can be hard! Here’s a funny look.
Pregnancy is the most exciting, exhilarating and at the same time, extremely tiring journey of a couple’s life. For the woman, her body goes through so many changes. She has to take care of herself and at the same time try and enjoy the anticipation of the coming bundle of joy.
A man cannot understand the physical aspects of pregnancy, but emotionally he certainly can try to be at the same level as his wife.
(Don’t miss this exclusive Women’s Day offer from Motherhood Hospitals, for every woman who walks in to receive a free consultation with a gynaecologist; for any issue, big or small).
At this time, here are a few ways where the man can step up and be there in small ways for his partner. For male readers, here are some sure shot ways for earning those brownie points with your partner, which will last for the rest of your life!
Don’t forget to like and share, for the benefit of all your friends who are going through or will go through pregnancy!
Tip 1: Be a man who cooks!
Keep smaller size meals ready for her to eat, and no, we don’t mean just opening a can! Smaller meals help beat acidity and indigestion issues during pregnancy. Get cooking, and make sure she has food available when she gets hungry.
(And women, on Women’s Day today, pledge to protect yourself from cervical cancer.)
Tip 2: Remind her to eat!
Parties mean loads of fun, loud conversation, maybe even party games. However in all this, the routine of healthy food gets highly disturbed. So always remind your wife to have a healthy meal before leaving for any party as you never know when the food will be served there!
Tip 3: Carry along a healthy snack
All of our party food is generally too rich and oily. That will do no good for the pregnant woman, other than bring in tons of acidity and indigestion! So always carry healthy snacks for her to munch on at gatherings.

Tip 4: Keep away well-meaning but annoying people!
Pregnancy also brings in loads of myths and old wives tales. Especially in a family gathering, numerous well-meaning aunties can mob you with unsolicited advice. The best thing that a husband can do for his wife is act as a shield and a knight in shining armour between the wife and these relatives!

Shows like Indian Matchmaking only further the argument that women must adhere to social norms without being allowed to follow their hearts.
When Netflix announced that Indian Matchmaking (2020-present) would be renewed for a second season, many of us hoped for the makers of the show to take all the criticism they faced seriously. That is definitely not the case because the show still continues to celebrate regressive patriarchal values.
Here are a few of the gendered notions that the show propagates.
A mediocre man can give himself a 9.5/10 and call himself ‘the world’s most eligible bachelor’, but an independent and successful woman must be happy with receiving just 60-70% of what she feels she deserves.
As long as teachers are competent in their job, and adhere to the workplace code of conduct, how does it matter what they do in their personal lives?
A 30 year old Associate Professor at a well-known University, according to an FIR filed by her, was forced to resign because the father of one of her students complained that he found his son looking at photographs of her, which according to him were “objectionable” and “bordering on nudity”.
There are two aspects to this case, which are equally disturbing, and which together make me question where we are heading as a society.
When the father of an 18 year old finds his son looking at photographs of a lady in a swimsuit, he can do many things. What this parent allegedly did was to dash off a letter to the University which states:
