5 Life Lessons I’ve Learnt Being A Mother Of 3 With Another One On The Way - MissMalini

MissMalini and ParulAt Team MissMalini we firmly believe that mothers should be celebrated every
day. They give us life and from that moment on, we’re lucky to have and
experience a love that is so unconditional, it cannot be compared to any other.
So, on the occasion of Mother’s Day this year, we have asked some of the mommy
bloggers we know to write us a few thought pieces From Mommy’s Eyes. Parul Kakad 
of Mumbai Mummy shared her thoughts on why working mothers should rid themselves
of guilt.

So I’m about 7 months pregnant right now and totally enjoying it. (Although
sometimes I feel like a cow and waddle like a duck!)

Parul &amp; Arman KakadBeing pregnant has its own advantages (AND disadvantages.)
For one – the mood swings are just unbelievable, its like you’re not yourself
anymore, happy one minute, angry the next and it takes forever for me to get my
mood swings under control BUT with Arman around most of the time…. he always
finds a way to cheer me up!
