There is no other joy that could even come close to that of becoming a mother. While there is no denying that it is a magical feeling, bringing another life into this world is a huge responsibility too. That being said, natural birth just takes it up a notch. It demands patience, willpower, pain tolerance, sweat and a lot of strength. And if the baby’s head is slightly bigger in shape, natural birth gets equally risky. This could probably be one of the reasons behind the rising popularity of C-section births (1).

However, the ones who choose to go natural inspire others to do the same, especially when it is celebrity mums. Bollywood mothers have forever been on the paparazzi radar for their parenting choices, and they’re people who the public looks up to. So, when they choose natural childbirth when they get an opportunity to, it sets an example for every new mom-to-be.

Below is a list of some of these Bollywood moms who gave birth to their babies the traditional way:
