World Prematurity Day: Celina Jaitly Pens Earth-Shattering Note On Losing Son Arthur

After being parents to twin boys Winston & Viraaj, Bollywood actress Celina Jaitly and husband Peter Haag welcomed another set of twin boys Arthur Jaitly Haag and Shamsher Jaitly Haag, whose bittersweet arrival she announced in a video via Facebook. Through an emotional note on Facebook, the actress revealed that one of the boys succumbed to a serious heart condition. Now on World Prematurity Day, Celina took to social media and penned a heartfelt note about the son she lost soon after he was born.

Sharing some unseen pictures, Celina wrote a painful note alongside that read, “WORLD PREMATURITY DAY 17 November 2018. World Prematurity Day was created on November 17, 2011, to raise awareness for the millions of children every year who are born prematurely. Premature birth is a very serious health problem, but there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel too. While nothing can prepare parents for how it feels to have a baby in neonatal care, it can be a huge support to know other families have been where they are now. To the parents currently in the NICU, @haag.peter and I can assure you that things do get better and that the future is so exciting. Remember lots of Kangaroo care, breast milk, putting your faith in your doctors and love can work miracles.

Her caption read further, “We went through immense heartache with one baby in NICU and funeral arrangements for his twin whom we lost to a congenital heart problem, but we survived on hope and amazing care of NICU nurses and NICU Doctors in Dubai who worked tirelessly with us to make sure @arthurjhaag comes back home with us. While many preterm babies still carry a huge vulnerability to develop medical challenges or life-threatening circumstances, many do grow up to become completely healthy individuals, with some even becoming notable public figures such as Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein and of course our own Arthur Jaitly Haag.”
