The event of birth of a baby or a new life gives a woman a new title and status of motherhood.Is it not a divine and precious moment in the life of a woman? However, it is a notion among several newly wed and particularly career minded couple that delivering a baby do affect their physical glamour and also career growth. Should a woman sacrifice her motherhood for the sake of career advancement and for the fear of losing glamour? Do other circumstancial compulsions prompt a woman to defer/avoid a delivery? Pl. give your personal views.

[b]There are women out there that actually think
like that. They are not ready yet to give up
their career just for the sake of taking care
of the baby. But financial crisis today is not
ideal for a family who only have one income
provider. It is necessary for both parents to
have separate jobs to make both ends meet.
However, if the husband is wealthy there's no
need for the wife to seek a job outside the house.
I do believe that it is necessary for the child to
have her mother at her side always during growing
up years.[/b]

Many thanks for nicely responding and sharing your feelings and views. I do absolutely agree with your viewpoints. A woman is free to make her own choices and priorities,considering her desired roles, goals,challenges and limitations in context of her personal life,family and social environment. Have a nice day!!

well what you say is true..i think motherhood should not be forced as it is a divine feeling and also requires the ability of taking responsibility...i had my baby after 5 years of our marriage so we both are mentally and financially prepared for the baby so that i could quit my job to bring up our baby...it is better to delay having a baby rather that having a child and leaving the kid in a creche and pursuing a career..one must have a baby when one is ready so that the motherhood can be enjoyed to the fullest and the baby gets full love and attention of the mother...

Not being a woman, I couldn't honestly say, but I can think of a few women, my wife included, who would knock you out cold if you suggested their sole role in life should be that of motherhood ;)

Many thanks for nicely responding and sharing your thoughts.I agree with you that a woman needs to play a multifarous role, both at home and work life, not limited to motherhood alone. Have a nice day!!
