Becoming a mother changes entire life and lifestyle as well. Right from the time you become pregnant you have to undergo different types of challenges and surprises. Knowingly or unknowingly you constantly do a lot of things for your child.

1. Strongest Emotional Bond With The Child

A mother is the first one to know and connect with her child. Even after birth mother is the first care-giver to her children.
