Thirty-year-old Deesha Vora Doshi is mother to a four-month-old baby, and is most grateful for the tremendous support from her husband during a complex pregnancy. "I had severe mood swings that caused depression. It was important that my husband was around at the time. He becomes the only person with whom I can share all the troubles of pregnancy," she feels. Her husband Anish, an engineer, tells us that he couldn't manage much leave but having an office near home helped. When we ask if it is stressful to manage the baby and work, he says it is his stress buster. "When my daughter smiles, I forget the stress of work. My wife's pregnancy was my top priority. It has to be two people together, during and post the pregnancy. I would take longer breaks to be home when she needed me," he says.
