The much-awaited results of the ‘Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy Contest’ are out!
The much-awaited results of the ‘Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy Contest’ are out! We asked you, our readers to share your secret for a happy and healthy pregnancy and it was raining pregnancy tips over here! Some myths were busted, some beliefs were reinforced and a lot of ideas were shared with gusto!
All the entries made for some wonderful reading and while each of you had something valuable to offer, we could only choose 3 winners from the 21 entries! The Women’s Web team and our guest judge, Dr.Gita Arjun (noted obstetrician-gynaecologist and author of Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy) did indeed have a tough task at hand! The entries were judged on the basis of both their relevance and presentation. After much deliberation, here are the prize-winning ones:
Our 1st Prize goes to Rads for her interesting entry disguised as a lovely letter to her daughter. Her tips were simple yet effective and they were presented in an innovative style.
Our two 2nd Prizes go to:
Trishna for her enthusiastic and informative post.
AT for her no-nonsense and useful tips for mothers-to-be.
Congratulations to all the winners! Please send your contact details (full name, address and phone number) to [email protected] and we will ship your prizes soon!
Thanks to each of the participants as well as to Dr.GitaArjun and Westland Books for making this exciting contest possible! (Do remember to check out their excellent resource, Passport To A Healthy Pregnancy, if you haven’t already).

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
