Gauahar Khan shares that often women are judged for the way they walk during their pregnancy as they are holding a baby in their womb. She captioned her post, "There’s so much judgement around pregnant women, their weight, their moods, their WALK … just a shout out to all the expecting moms, Your walk is your own, it’s pretty no matter what. Wobble or not, you’re amazing!" She also spoke about how Zaid has become extra caring and handles all her mood swings in this phase.

In her vlog, Dipika shared the dos and don'ts of her pregnancy. She shared "Doctor has advised that milk is very important at this stage. Dahi and protein intake are also implemented and iron can be taken as supplements as per doctor’s advice. Every pregnancy and body is different. For many, dates are a strict 'no' for pregnancy, but for me, I have been told to consume."

Pankhuri took to Instagram to share her experience with pregnancy. She shared how she learned about it and her PCOD issue. "Today, I am going to be talking about how I got to know that I am pregnant. We had been shooting in Goa the whole of November and towards the last part of November, the last part of the film’s schedule, I started feeling a lot tired. In fact, Gautam and I had gone for dinner one evening and I ordered a bunch of things but couldn’t eat anything."

"I then felt maybe I am tired and exhausted. We came back to Mumbai and immediately I had the Maddam Sir promo shoot and I had no clue (laughs) what was happening. One of the days when it was my off and my periods were delayed, obviously I didn’t think much because as I mentioned the last time I’d PCOD and it means sometimes you don’t get periods on the specific date. It is usually delayed. I did not worry till about a week, I also checked with my mother and she asked to check. The only thing I was feeling was I was very tired. There was no nausea, puking, nothing at all," she added.
