Pregnancy is the most magical time. To nurture a little life growing inside you, to feel the first flutter and the thought of holding the little wonder in your arms, keeps you sane in the rollercoaster ride of nine-months. And television actress, Chhavi Mittal, who became a second-time mother of a cute baby boy, is making sure to educate more and more women to help them get through in the course of the magical nine months.

The second pregnancy had made a huge change in the life of Chhavi, she had read millions of books and had penned her every thought that came her way in the course of her pregnancy journey. She had introduced us to the process of Hypno-birthing and raised her strong voice on the societal myths surrounding pregnant women. And while she wanted to give birth to her son, Arham Hussein naturally, she was robbed of her choice by her own doctor.

Since then Chhavi often emphasises on the natural birthing process. Today, on July 19, 2019, Chhavi penned a piece of strong advice for all the mommies-to-be, and wrote, "To All Pregnant Mother, Many of you ask me questions about stretch marks, pregnancy diet, exercise, how to stay calm, how long to work for, etc. But let me tell you, none of these things matter. If there is ONE advice I can give to to-be mothers, it is to wait for labour to start naturally. I'm speaking my heart out when I say that if labour does not start naturally, it only means that your body and the baby, both are not ready yet."

She further wrote, "The last few weeks are crucial for the baby's growth. The brain, the lungs, and the liver development are crucial during the last few weeks. And the amount a baby grows inside the womb, it will not grow outside. In my personal experience, there is a WORLD of difference between induced labour and a baby born out of natural labour. Unless of course there is a medical reason why intervention is needed. So mothers, while the last few weeks are oh so uncomfortable, trust me, keep your baby in for as long as you can, since there is no safer place for a baby than a mother's womb.#postterm #pregnancy #experience #chhavimittal #naturallabour #labour #delivery

Coming back to Chhavi's child-birthing story, she had a tough delivery as her doctor forced her for a C-section delivery ruining her dream of Hypno-birthing. In one of her Instagram posts, she wrote about the same, and had shared, "I started dilating again & 2 hrs later I was 8 cm dilated. But my doctor came in & said she’d like to take me for a C-section. I put my complete faith in her and agreed to whatever she said. But her attitude towards my whole birthing process completely shook me up."

Chhavi also wrote about how her doctor behaved with her. "She said some things which I could not respond to at that time, but they will remain engraved in my mind forever. This person who was with me through this journey of 9+ months.. this person who had seen my strengths & weaknesses, who had seen me naked physically and emotionally. She told me, “your labour is not strong enough, your body is not meant to do this, if you felt pain, you would be screaming, not sleeping.”
In another Instagram post, she had talked about motherhood and how people forget to show compassion for the new mommies. She had written, "A mother. She carries her unborn inside her body for 9 months. She looks after the little life with her blood and everything she has within her. She brings the tiny human into the world and feeds him with her own body. She hurts, she gives up her life, she gives up all that she stands for and more. Life is never the same for her as she has known it. Your mother has done it for you, mine has done it for me. and now all you mothers are doing it for your LOs. No matter how much help you get from others, I know it's never the same since what a mother does, cannot be replaced by anybody else. The only thing somebody else can do for a mother is showing her compassion. But yet, I feel deeply saddened to know that people lack that basic emotion that makes them human. So moms, don't get disheartened, coz I still have fight left in me. If you can bear a child, you can do anything. So be strong and let the people who've treated you with anything less than kindness know, that you are a mother no less than their own. #motherhood."
