Work/Life Balance Is Important

Mothers all over the world know how difficult it is to balance motherhood and career. Carice van Houten, who plays Melisandre, had a baby between seasons. She remembered it being a bit of a challenge, getting back to work just six weeks after a C-section — especially because her first scene involved walking to the top of a cliff in Northern Ireland. So yes, coming back from maternity leave was hard, just like it is for working moms all over the world. (It's nice to know it's not just us).
