Being a mother is learning about the strengths you did not know you had. Motherhood is the cultural process of locating women’s identities in their capacity to care for newborns and children. The guest speaker, Mrs. Almas Quraishi, discusses the difficulties a mother must face alone, how to overcome them, and how parenting is a choice and not a forced option. Mrs. Almas Quraishi is a dentist and she actively engages in motherhood topics. Being an elder sister in the family with working parents, Mrs. Quraishi was responsible for the younger sibling and other responsibilities. Her mother was constantly reassuring, asserting that her daughter could do everything without gender discrimination. Mrs. Quraishi states, “An independent woman is one who can stand up for herself, and nobody is telling her what she can or cannot do.”
Mrs. Quraishi voiced concern about the parenting skills of the younger generation when discussing parenting. Putting pressure on children to achieve their parents’ aspirations hampers their development and aspirations. Raising children is a difficult undertaking that should be approached more productively.
Mrs. Quraishi believes there is no right moment to be married and have a child, despite the fact that many people believe there is. Getting married and becoming a parent are not milestones to be achieved. It is up to both men and women to decide when to get married and when to have children. WHO (World Health Organization) has indicated that the optimal age for childbirth is 30.5 years. Undeniably, women’s eggs tend to deteriorate with the age. Other factors, such as previous pregnancy, a miscarriage, or an abortion, also play a significant role in conception. However, Mrs. Quraishi encourages all women to consult with their respective doctors, undergo evaluation, and then make a pregnancy decision regarding the pregnancy.
Most people recommend having a child if your relationship is experiencing difficulties. Mrs. Quraishi explained that a baby is not a band-aid that would fix a wounded relationship. The parents are expected to provide warmth and comfort to the infant; however, this cannot be accomplished if the parents’ connection has broken down. Mrs. Quraishi emphasized how such parenting can traumatize the child by stating, “The infant should have a secure ground on which it can stand firmly; if the ground is shaky, how will it influence the child?”
Mrs. Quraishi outlines the physical changes a woman undergoes during pregnancy. The most significant change a woman experiences is weight gain. They frequently disregard the notion that their body and lives are expected to change throughout pregnancy, and as a result, they get postpartum depression. She urges depressed women to seek out other mothers and therapists for assistance.
In her additional remarks, Mrs. Quraishi stresses the significance of financial planning before conception. The costs of vaccinations, as well as those of education and entertainment, are on the rise. Before having a child, it is essential to focus on financial planning for the child.
Mrs. Quraishi initially felt scared about motherhood. With the birth of a child comes the birth of a mother. Despite having no prior experience of what and how to care for the infant, it is anticipated that, as a mother, she will know everything. What should a new mother do when no one is around to support her? In foreign countries, there are Lamaze classes that teach the mother what to do before, during, and after childbirth. In India, however, the new mother is supposed to learn from her mother or mother-in-law. In such circumstances, partners should assist the new mother in overcoming the obstacles. Women should read pregnancy-related books to help them through the process.
