Abstract This study looks into the impact of childbirth on marital adjustment, perceived stress, and work-life balance among working mothers in Bangalore, India. As more women enter the workforce while raising families, knowing the challenges they deal with is critical to creating a more inclusive and equal environment. In view of this present study is an effort to understand the significant difference of childbirth effects between working mothers with single child and working mothers with 2 or more children in their Marital Adjustment, Perceived Stress and Work-Life Balance. The study will take a quantitative approach, using standardised questionnaires to assess marital adjustment, perceived stress, and work-life balance. Purposive sampling techniques was adopted to select 200 working women with children aged up to six years of old from various professional institutes and institutions in Bangalore. Statistical tools such as using t-test, and stepwise multiple regression to investigate differences between the two groups of mothers as well as to understand the impact of demographic factors on dependent measures. The results revealed a significant difference between childbirth effects between working mothers with single child and working mothers with 2 or more children. Further there is significant contribution of demographic variables. The findings are likely to give light on the unique obstacles that working mothers confront in Bangalore's cultural and socioeconomic environment, with the potential to impact workplace regulations and support services. This study fills a large gap in the literature by examining the concurrent effects of childbirth on several elements of working women' life in India, with implications for organisations, policymakers, and families seeking to assist working mothers' well-being and career growth.
