Chhavi Mittal and her husband, Mohit Hussein got blessed with their second child, who they lovingly named, Arham Hussein. And it wasn’t an easy delivery as her little one had refused to leave her even in the 10th month of pregnancy. Chhavi had shared how doctors had given her ultimatum of infusing artificial labour.
But as they say, ‘A baby is a blessing and only God decides when to send his grace in the form of a little angel without wings’. So, Chhavi got blessed with her baby boy on May 13, 2019. On May 16, 2019, she took to her Instagram handle and posted a picture of herself from the hospital room while working on her laptop. Along with the picture, she wore a long note of her balancing act. (Also Read: Madhuri Dixit Reveals How Her Kids React To The Movies She Has Done, Talks About Motherhood)
She started off her note by perfectly describing the pain of her swollen feet, “My feet are so swollen that even flip flops don't fit. So is the rest of my body. My head hurts like it'll explode, due to the spinal tap. I've gone deaf in one ear, also an extremely rare side effect of the spinal tap. I'm supposed to drink 5 litres of water, and getting up to go the loo takes 15 minutes. Lying down is the only position that gives me comfort, sometimes I even eat in that position.”
She further stated how she is awake at wee hours in the night for her office work, “But right now, at 1am, I'm doing some office work, when the baby sleeps and there's some peace, because @shittyideastrending 's new Web-series #BinBulayeMehmaan had to be launched today.”
However, Chhavi is making sure her post-partum depression doesn’t affect her as she further writes, “I know this will pass. This pain will be forgotten. But will the pain that I endured on my soul during the birth be ever forgotten? Sharing my birth story soon, when I feel ready. #birthstory.”
On May 12, 2019, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, she wrote a long note of embracing the journey six-year back. Her note could be read as, “HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all gorgeous mothers! 6 years ago today this little angel gave me the honour of being a mother. And today she made a surprise card for me which she drew herself. I'm absolutely overwhelmed today, because there's this little child to whom I mean the world, and who takes care of me in her own cute ways... Throwing me a baby shower, hugging me as tight as she can, wiping my tears when I'm sad, cracking kiddy jokes to make me laugh.”
She had also talked about how her baby had refused to leave her body, “And there's this other child who refuses to leave my body. I was really looking forward to being a mother of 2 before this day arrives. I know all of you have been waiting for the good news. But more than all you guys, my patience is wearing thin, because there's still no sign of labour. And if labour doesn't knock on my door today, we might have to artificially induce it, which breaks my heart because on one hand the baby's at risk due to being a post-term birth, and on the other hand, the baby's at risk due to the drugs being pumped in my body for an induction. What does a mother choose?” (Don't Miss: Priyanka Chopra's Ex-Sis-In-Laws, Ishita Kumar And Kanika Mathur Have Both Become Friends Now)
