She wrote: "I know pregnancy is a celebration of life and we pregnant women are meant to be grateful and sensitive and glowing thoughout and mostly I've had a healthy, safe and wonderful journey so far, but it is by far not an easy ride, it is not all butterflies and unicorns and many days are so tough that I want to crawl into bed and disappear."
Later in her post, Kalki wrote about her diary notes and accompanied it with a few tips for the non-pregnant people. "So, I made this poster based on some of my diary notes of the last eight months just so the non-pregnant people can get a glimpse into what we are going through and may be curious enough to research further and be better prepared to help someone who is carrying. Roughly: The pink is the first trimester. The white is the second. The red is the third. The boxes are the physical symptoms. The bubbles around are my feelings and thoughts at that moment," added Kalki.
