Since Mother's Day is fast approaching, we would like to ask all young mothers out there -- what does motherhood mean to you?

Since all mothers tend to describe having children as a life-altering experience, we would like to share your story of motherhood with all our readers. How did you feel when you discovered you were going to have a child? What is it like to see your little ones grow before your eyes? Tell us of the joys and trials that go with being a young mother, and how becoming one has affected you as a person.

Send in your stories to mymothersday@rediff.co.in, and we will publish the best ones in the Get Ahead section of rediff.com.

Along with the article you submit, we will need personal details (your name, age, occupation, contact number, and the name of your city), and photographs of you and your child/ children (if possible). The last date for entries is 6 pm, May 18, so hurry and send in your stories today!
