Soha Ali Khan Reflects on Motherhood and Asking for Help

Soha Ali Khan said becoming a mother showed her that she likes to control everything herself.

She often felt she had to fix problems without asking others for help.

Taking care of a child usually involves many people.

Soha said she is learning to let others share that responsibility.

A psychiatrist explained that some mothers worry when someone else does things differently.

This can make accepting help feel harder, even when they are tired.

Mothers can start by giving another person one whole task, such as bath time or a school run.

If worry, sadness or constant checking becomes severe, talking to a mental health professional can help.
