Due to my father's loss in my second twin pregnancy, I lost the ability to walk: Celina Jaitly

Celina Jaitly welcomed twin sons in 2012 with her husband Peter Haag and named them Winston J Haag and Viraaj J Haag. Then in 2017, she welcomed another set of twin boys however, one of them died due to a heart defect. She named the other one Arthur J Haag. Talking about having two sets of twins, Celina wrote on her Instagram page, "While both my spontaneous twin pregnancies were the most blessed, having two sets of twins in a row, apparently defying 700,000-to-one odds was not easy."

The actor posted a collage in which she is showing her baby bumps when she was pregnant twice. Celina further wrote, "I still remember the look on my husband @haag.peter face when our dearest Dr Braithwhite told us that we had conceived twins again in the second pregnancy as well which was very unique and unusual, a one in 700-000 chance."

About the photo and her whole pregnancy process, the No Entry actor shared, "This is a picture of both my pregnancies the first one with @winstonjhaag & @viraajjhaag and the second with @arthurjhaag & Shamsher. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in both my pregnancies due to twin baby hormones, I had to really watch what I ate and went through extremely strict restrictions throughout both pregnancies. Due to my father's loss in my second twin pregnancy, I literally lost the ability to walk due to the shock and had to be pushed on a wheelchair by my husband Peter. Being tiny my bones were affected and the babies pressed on my heart so breathing was a great difficulty."

Celina added, "Facing the loss of baby Shamsher to a hypoplastic heart, to @arthurjhaag ending up in an incubator for three months as well as my mother's sudden passing following all this leads me to believe that it was “Motherhood” that made me realise the strength I never thought I had or was capable of. Makes me think often of all the sacrifices my own mother (Dr Meeta Jaitly) did as an infantry officers wife bringing up two kids most of her life by herself, making sure we turned out the way we did."

Talking about motherhood, Jaitly penned, "I also believe Motherhood has no gender I truly believe it is how you describe the very powerful strength, resilience and unconditional love that gives a child the courage to grow. I am so grateful I have the opportunity to experience this power, and to have also been on the receiving end of it too in all my formative years. Happy Mother’s Day to all who vow to love, nurture and care."
