“The report says you have high sugar.”

“What do I do now, doc?”

“Start with family planning. You will have problems if you’ll delay it further.”

“And my career?”

Hapless she felt and chose family over career, just like any other woman.

Ah yes, the solution to every woman's problems is to have a baby. I remember those times, and thank goodness they are no more!

Who cares about woman's career... She has to procreate thats all...
Another way of looking at it is the corporates and almost all the professions are not woman friendly. They throw away woman who has taken a maternity break stating she has lost some years and her erstwhile peers have walked ahead of her... In such a situation, what can a woman do? She is just pushed and pulled by societal norms.
