<p>Motherhood is an experience and it is this experience that the ‘Motherhood’, a boutique birthing centre in Bangalore hopes to capture and offer through its state-of-the-art facilities.<br /><br /></p>.<p>‘Motherhood’ that started a year ago celebrated its first anniversary with close friends, relatives and well-wishers in the City recently. The evening had writer and author Anita Nair, well-known gynaecologist Dr Kamini Rao, actor Mammootty and Mohammed Rehan Sayeed, executive director of ‘Motherhood’, on one stage. <br /><br />Speaking on the occasion, Anita Nair drew a parallel between motherhood and writing a book. She said, “Writing a book is a lot like having a baby. It’s like rasing a child and takes one through different stages. Motherhood is the greatest moment in a woman’s life.”<br /><br /> Actor Mammootty who flew in to support his daughter Surumy and son-in-law Mohammed Rehan Sayeed and celebrate the first anniversary of ‘Motherhood’with them started his talk on a light note by saying that he has never been pregnant before and doesn’t know what it’s like to be one but he too drew a relation between the labour of bearing a child and the labour of being an actor and doing full justice to the character right from its inception. <br /><br />‘Motherhood’ has brought in 351 babies which means one a day. Family planning is essential but I am not getting into that subject now (he laughs). Controlling the birth rate is good but why not enjoy motherhood while you can,” he observed. <br /><br />Mohammed Rehan Sayeed, executive director of Motherhood, was the last to speak on the occasion and he took the audience through a quick recap of what their struggles were like through the last one year. <br /><br />“I never wanted ‘Motherhood’ to be named a hospital, instead I wanted it to be a place where an expectant mothers would walk in and walk out just as happy. We wanted to offer an experience not a hospital environment. We hope to open an IVF centre pretty soon and open a few more ‘Motherhood’ boutiques in the next 18 to 24 months in the City and in Cochin and Chennai,” informed Mohammed Rehan Sayeed. <br /></p>
