You don’t need to be a mind reader to guess as to what a woman in the family way looks forward to. A healthy and cherubic baby is surely the topmost priority, but there are things that a woman wants exclusively for herself. She looks forward to getting back to shape almost the minute she delivers. She wants her body to be as strong and beautiful as it was before she delivered. Sagging skin, stretch marks and flab is something that almost every woman hates to have on her. Most women prepare themselves for a natural birth unless advised otherwise for medical reasons.
Natural birth popularly known as normal delivery is preferred over Caesarean section as the body bounces back to its original shape much faster after a normal birth. A C-section albeit being relatively pain-free in the beginning can leave painful stitches and a scar that is difficult to do away with. Any woman whether she is your girl next door, or a celebrity wouldn’t want scars on her, in case of the latter the pressure to have a spotless skin along with a svelte figure is much higher. It is very easy for us to assume that all the hot mommies in Bollywood had a normal delivery, but did you know the birth-stories of these seven gorgeous ladies? Read on!
