Still, if not today, tomorrow we will look forward to starting a family."

And then I had a miscarriage and it was devastating. I thought I had never get pregnant again. And then I was diagnosed with APL syndrome.

In an interview with ETimes, Geeta had shared about the difficult phase of her life when she had gone through two miscarriages before the birth of her younger son, Jovan. She had said,

"The last two years have been traumatic for me no doubt but I held myself from breaking down. A woman's hormones after a miscarriage go up and down a lot, which, in turn, makes it extremely difficult for her to maintain her composure. I kept myself strong and did not allow that meltdown to happen. I decided to completely rest it out in the first trimester during Jovan. I just took my vitamins and waited for the first three months to get over. After that, we came to Mumbai, and a little later, I took to yoga. That helped me a lot. Long works in the last trimester were a given. My gut instinct told me that this time all will go well. Touchwood, it did."

Well, these celebrity mommies had set major goals by opening up about their pregnancy complications. This is a kind of inspiration for every mommy-to-be out there.
