Of all rights of the woman, the greatest is to be a moter - Lin Yutang

Well of all my blogs I will say, so far,this one is the closest to my heart, Because being a woman i can understand what and how special this feeling is. Though i have myself not experienced it personally yet, but being a woman i can aready connect. And how lucky i consider myself to be a part of todays world where maternity has been redifined in many ways.

I love to see women arround me who enjoy their pregnancy and this journey of 9 months..when i say say redifined, i mean to emphasize on all the changes that has come and been accepted by masses, in their own ways.

FASHION at the same time is also being her biggest support system, for me fashion is not only restricted to apparels but products, services, food & lifestyle. Pregnancy is probably one of the best and one of the most stressful times in a woman’s life, that also bring, stress, depression, and anxiety along. Apart from the morning sickness and the mood swings, comes another problem, increasing size and no clothes. Instead of spending hours in a mall walking up and down with the growing belly, you can now sit at home and at a click away buy your maternity wear online.to feel good , one must look good..! Thanks to the Fashion Gurus, Fashion Forecasters, Designers , Fashion Marketeers who thought of introducing maternity wear in india, Because now expactant women has option to look stylish with the baby bump. Women no longer needs to wear those shabby oversize dresses and look like a tent. Now they can go for such clothes and flaunt their belly ,These clothes does not only make them look stylish but are also designed keeping the comforts and requirements in mind for eg Nursing Bras, Nursing Maxis, Maternity Tunics, Empireline Dresses to be worn at parties, Yoga Pants and comfortable range of Sleep Wear..also the products that are availabe, like feeding aprons, cushions and a lot more.

And then comes The Spin from godh bharai to baby shower

God bharai in Hindu culture always held a lot of significance, traditionally it was celebrated only by women, mommy to be was adorned with Jewellery and her lap was filled by gifts, fruits and sweets. earlier it use to be a traditional private family affair with just limited & close relatives, where celebrations started with pooja, But now interestingly, this whole concept of godh bharai has taken a spin and has become BABY SHOWER.. Even in those families where godh bharai is not a part of their culture, still young expectant mothers want to celebrate it. From a private family affair it has become lavish event. From special invitations to baby themes to décor to designer cakes, return gifts, and above all the specially designed outfit to be worn by "mommy to be". Its ‘not “just women affair” anymore, now men are also equally part of this event, because afterall, father hood is also as important as motherhood.

Baby Moon Trips

Other than baby shower, BABYMOON TRIPS also play a very important role in making this journey special. A baby moon is a newly coined term, for a period of time both parents take to relax, reconnect and renew the romance.. It is one of the biggest travel trends on the charts right now. . This trip provides a solid foundation for the changes that are about to happen in the couple’s life. Mid pregnancy or the 2nd trimester is believed to be the safest time to travel, so baby moon trips are usually planned in those months.

Maternity photoshoots

Talking about making this journey special, how can I miss PREGNANCY PHOTOSHOOT. Getting pregnant, and enjoying those 9months with pleasure and pain is a lifetime experience, and capturing it, is no less than a treasure. Great time to connect with your partner and giving cute poses and am sure when kids grow up, they will be delighted to see the photos of their pregnant mamma, while they were growing inside of her womb. It is becoming so popular in India , that couples are going outdoors and choosing nice locations for this photo shoot..

Newborn Photoshoot

Also the PHOTOSHOOT FOR NEWBORN ..Till now we have been only seeing posters of newborn babies, and their cute poses. But something like this we have started practicing in our lives as well. Thanks to the awareness, creativity and urge to go beyond and do everything that we can, to make every moment special. This newborn baby shoot is not an ordinary one. Professional photographers are hired to do this job. Never again your baby will curl up like this, by two or three weeks, they start stretching out and discovering the world, and you never get to see that beautiful full fetal position again..so those shots are the most special ones : ) and the first click with parents can never be an ordinary one! it has to be special.

I believe,Factors like high disposable incomes, A rise in number of working women, Nuclear Families, Much Travelling and Exposure of Western Culture has led, to the growth of this new maternal concept in India.

Conceiving a baby and bringing him in this world is a big miracle in itself and the most special feeling,and this shift in life style has made this journey even more special. I find this aforementioned evolution very interesting,This is the reason i chose to write a blog on it.
