The video featured Neha, showing pregnancy expectations which seemed glamorous. She dressed up in a glittery dress and puts on makeup to look stylish. In the second half, she showed a tired and sleepy Neha seeing her baby bump in the mirror and ended up eating chocolate from the jar. She looked unhappy and cried at the end.

Sharing the video on Instagram, Neha 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 continued and said, “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.” She gave a list of the essentials and 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 by saying, “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?”

Reacting to the video, one of Neha’s fans wrote, “(Laughing emojis) So true!” Another fan commented, “Congratulations dear. I am so happy for you.” Other fan wrote, “Awww so cute mam, par itni taklif sehen karne ke baad jab aapka baby aapke haath mai aayega, tab sab dard bhul jaayengi aap (You will forget all your struggles when you will hold your baby in your hands).”

Neha announced first child with husband Ayushman Agrawal on November 24, 2022 and wrote, “Shri Shivaya Namastubhyam (handsfolded emoji). Finally God has arrived in me (hands-folded emoji). Baby coming soon 2023 (three red heart emojis)” on Instagram.
