​5 celebs who embraced motherhood like a superwoman!

<p>The women today are unstoppable. Gone are the days, when pregnancy used to be a deterrent for a woman’s career and was associated with numerous stereotypes. Times are changing and moms-to-be are setting new trends (and rules) that are redefining this challenging phase. From sports, modeling to films, we have compiled a list of five women who let the world know that women are definitely not the weaker sex. In fact, they are the stronger one! Here, take a look… (Image: Shutterstock/BCCL)<br></p>

​Gal Gadot

<p>She actually showed it to the world what it takes to be a ‘Wonder Woman’. The Israeli actress was pregnant with her second child while shooting the superhero movie “Wonder Woman” and even re-shot some action scenes when she was five months pregnant. Whether it was an action-packed battle scene, tough weather conditions or long working hours, Gadot managed to ride both the boats flawlessly. (Image: Shutterstock)<br></p>

Serena Williams

This woman has uncountable feats in her kitty. She has always ruled the world of Tennis and has been an inspiration for girls across the globe. Serena again made everyone’s jaw drop when she won the coveted Australian Open Title while being two-months pregnant. Sports have a whole new meaning and approach for female athletes; thanks to Serena! (Image: Shutterstock)

4/6

​Kareena Kapoor Khan

<p>Kareena is one of the valiant actresses of Bollywood who flaunted their baby bump instead of hiding it behind flowy outfits. Whether it was shooting magazine covers, films, attending events, walking the ramp or even shopping for the baby, Kareena stepped out unabashedly with her baby bump. In fact, she set the trend of maternity fashion on fire and proved moms-to-be can too have it all. (Image: BCCL)<br></p>

​Penelope Cruz

<p>The 43-year-old actress was two months pregnant when she shot for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. She wore corsets and even pulled off action scenes including the sword fighting ones flawlessly. (Image: Shutterstock)<br></p>
6/6

​Carol Gracious​

Carol was the first model in India to set the ramp on fire with her six months pregnant belly. She was the showstopper for designer Gaurang Shah last year, and walked the ramp with no qualms. Whoa! (Image: BCCL)
