Former actor Celina Jaitly recently took to her Instagram handle to share the pain and trauma she and her businessman husband Peter Haag went through when they lost one of their twin boys Shamsher in 2017, since he was premature.
Sharing the pictures, Celina Jaitly wrote, “It took me five years to come to terms with this episode of our lives, but I have finally summoned the courage to talk about my ordeal to help many parents who reach out to @haag.peter and I as they deal with the trauma of preterm birth and loss of a baby. Peter and I want such parents to know that they can get through this. In personal experience we both can vouch that your preemie baby is a true survivor. Preemies show us the power of faith and prayer and the fight of the human spirit. Remember that most premature babies survive and live completely normal, healthy lives.
She added, “PS: Preterm is defined as babies born alive before 37 weeks of pregnancy are completed. The outcome of our 2nd spontaneous twin pregnancy was bittersweet due to baby Shamsher’s loss due to a heart condition. ( I went into labour at 32 weeks due to my father’s sudden passing.) It was very difficult for Peter and I, but we smiled after many million tears in this photograph (1) to seal a happy memory for our blessing baby @arthurjhaagarrival as he went straight to NICU in an incubator for three months immediately upon his arrival.”
