Actress Neha Marda took to Instagram to share a video of herself as well as the reality of being pregnant. She wrote down the essentials for a pregnant woman during her pregnancy journey. On Thursday, she announced her pregnancy news. She shared pictures from her maternity photo shoot.

The video featured Neha. She showed the anticipation of pregnancy which looks glamorous. She wore a shiny dress. She had makeup to look stylish. In the second half, it showed a tired and sleepy Neha looking at her baby bump in the mirror. It ended up with Neha eating chocolates from the jar. She looked unhappy. She cried at the end.

She wrote, “Pregnancy Expectations Vs Reality (sleeping face emoji). Being pregnant, though wonderful comes with quite a few discomforts, aches and pains. There are a few essential items you need that will make the experience more healthy and comfortable. But sometimes the long list of pregnancy must-haves can seem a little daunting.”

She further added, “Yes, you are only preggers for 9 months and you don’t want to go overboard with spending and stocking up, so here a few items that helped us get through pregnancy with ease without costing a fortune.”

At last, she gave a list of essentials. She wrote, “You need: prenatal medicines, bra extenders, maternity clothes, maternity leggings to support the belly, intense moisturiser for that stretching skin, nursing bras, flat comfortable sandals, Ginger candy/ choorans, healthy snacks for those craving, pregnancy pillow, water bottle, belly support band, pregnancy books.”

She concluded, “However, don’t feel the need to buy something just because it is mentioned here. See what you need and then invest wisely. Save this & use the paper arrow to share it with a mom-to-be. What did I miss here? Would you like to add something else to this list that helped us in our pregnancy?”
