In her latest post, she revealed losing the ability to walk from shock after losing her father during her second pregnancy. Sharing a collage of her twin pregnancies, she wrote, “While both my spontaneous twin pregnancies were the most blessed, having two sets of twins in a row, apparently defying 700,000-to-one odds was not easy. I still remember the look on my husband Peter’s face when our dearest Dr Braithwhite told us that we had conceived twins again in the 2nd pregnancy as well which was very unique and unusual, a one in 700-000 chance.”

She further wrote, “This is a picture of both my pregnancies: the first one with Winston and Viraaj and the second with Arthur and Shamsher. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in both my pregnancies due to twin baby hormones, I had to really watch what I ate and went through extremely strict restrictions throughout both pregnancies.”

Recalling her life in a wheelchair after her father’s demise, she wrote, “Due to my fathers loss in my second twin pregnancy I literally lost the ability to walk due to the shock and had to be pushed on a wheelchair by my husband Peter. Being tiny my bones were affected and the babies pressed on my heart so breathing was great difficulty. Facing the loss of baby Shamsher to a hypo plastic heart, to Arthur ending up in an incubator for three months as well as my mothers sudden passing following all this led me to believe that it was motherhood that made me realise the strength I never thought I had or was capable of.”

In her post, Celina also lauds her mother for all the sacrifices she made as an infantry officer’s wife and raising her two kids mostly by herself. She continued in the post, “I also believe motherhood has no gender. I truly believe it is how you describe the very powerful strength, resilience and unconditional love that gives a child the courage to grow. I am so grateful I have the opportunity to experience this power, and to have also been on the receiving end of it too in all my formative years. Happy Mother’s Day to all who vow to love, nurture and care.”
