Pregnancy is a journey like no other — filled with love, transformation, surprises, and sometimes… isolation. But what if we didn’t have to go through it alone?
That’s exactly what happened one beautiful Saturday morning in Delhi, when a group of incredible women came together to share their stories, their struggles, and their strength.
🌸 The Gathering
Held at a cozy green patch in Lodhi Garden, this intimate event brought together moms-to-be, new mothers, and a few seasoned mamas who just wanted to support others going through the same path they once walked.
With yoga mats, herbal tea, and open hearts — the space quickly turned into a sanctuary of connection.
🤰 Sharing the Real Side of Pregnancy
The morning kicked off with a heartfelt circle of storytelling. No filters. No sugar-coating. Just women opening up about everything from midnight cravings to unexpected anxiety, relationship shifts, and body changes.
One mom shared how she struggled with fear during her second trimester. Another talked about feeling disconnected from her body. And then came the smiles — remembering the first baby kicks, ultrasound photos, and little socks that didn’t fit.
🧘♀️ Moving with Meaning
After the emotional opening, it was time to move. A gentle prenatal yoga session was led by wellness coach Anjali Verma, who focused on breathing, gentle stretching, and grounding the mind.
There was laughter (especially during the wobbly balance poses), but also a quiet sense of unity as each woman moved with intention — not just for herself, but for the tiny life growing within.
💬 Conversations Over Chai
Post-workout, everyone settled in with warm herbal tea and fresh fruit. Conversations flowed easily — about postpartum fitness, sleep deprivation, mom guilt, and how little things (like a hot shower or a 10-minute walk alone) can feel like luxury during early motherhood.
Some moms exchanged numbers. Others simply sat in silence for a moment, realizing they weren’t alone.
📝 Little Notes, Big Feelings
Before leaving, each woman was handed a small card to write a message either to herself or to her baby. Some were funny, some tearful, but all were meaningful.
“Dear Me, You’re stronger than you think.”
“Dear Baby, I’m scared and excited — and that’s okay.”
These notes were tucked away to be read later — a reminder of how far they’ve come.
🧡 Why It Mattered
This wasn’t a fancy event with banners or sponsors. It was something better — real connection. A reminder that while every pregnancy is personal, the feelings that come with it are universal.
Sometimes, all a mom needs is someone who listens. Someone who says, “Me too.”
