On World Prematurity Day, actress Celina Jaitley, on Wednesday took to her verified Instagram handle to spread awareness about the topic of preterm delivery and share her personal ordeal of losing baby boy Shamsher, Arthur's twin to a congenital heart problem in 2017.

Celina, who married hotelier Peter Haag, welcomed her first set of twins -- Winston and Viraaj -- in 2012. She again gave birth to twin boys, Shamsher and Arthur, in 2017 but the former wasn't able to survive.

So, on the occasion of World Prematurity Day, Celina thought of shedding some light on the topic and pouring her heart out in an emotional and heart-wrenching note. 

She wrote, "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." 

Giving out some tips as to how one can handle a premature baby and make sure she/he is feeding well, Celina wrote, "Remember lots of Kangaroo care, breast milk, putting your faith in your doctors and love can work miracles." 

Venting out her pain of seeing Arthur in the NICU and losing Shamsher, Celina further added, "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. Keep your love and blessings coming for Artu and don’t forget to read up on how you can prevent/support premature babies."

Currently based out of Austria, a former Miss India, Celina made her acting debut with the 2003 thriller 'Janasheen'. However, she hasn't done any movies of late and nor has declared any upcoming projects.
