Kishwer Merchant Opens Up About C-Section, Painkillers & All The Hiccups She Faced During Pregnancy

Earlier this year when Kishwer Merchant and Suyyash Rai surprised us with a baby announcement, they had also shared how it was an unplanned pregnancy. The actress is in her 40s and wasn’t expecting to conceive naturally, but the couple accepted the miracle with open arms and a lot of gratitude. Well, they are now parents to a baby boy and Kishwer has finally opened about the topsy turvy ride so far.

In her recent Instagram post, the actress talked about all the challenges that she faced in the last nine months. She shared a picture of her cradling little baby Rai and narrated her pregnancy experience in the caption. Addressing her baby boy in the post, she wrote “My Bugs Bunny I know there have been a lot of problems. I haven’t been the best, with the C section, pain killers, tiredness, anxiety, and breastfeeding .. but like we promised each other today, we both will help each other in this journey and make things better for us, love you my son ❤️.”

Kudos to Kishwer for opening up about her pregnancy struggles. Such narratives are particularly important amid all the post-pregnancy frolic and celebration that we are so used to. Both pregnancy and the postpartum period are a big challenge for the mothers and it is high time that we start shedding light on that as well.

Meanwhile, new dad Suyyash Rai is ensuring that both the mom and baby are safe and healthy. He is elated with the arrival of their baby boy and opened up about it on a social media post. “Meri choti sii duniya ❤️ bohttt kuch feel kiya hai aaj tak, but yeh jo feel hua hai 🥺❤️ is priceless, I love u @kishwersmerchantt ❤️ this is the besttttt gift u’ve given ❤️ #Sukishkababy thanku for completing US ,” he wrote.

Many congratulations to the new parents! Here’s hoping that Kishwer’s example will encourage other moms to open up about their needs and discomfort during the pregnancy as well.
