Actress Celina Jaitly is quite active on social media and keeps on sharing small notes about her personal life. The mother of three has recently opened up about a very delicate and personal chapter of her life. Celina Jaitly, a mother of three kids, took to her Instagram to share the journey of going through a rare liver condition during both her pregnancies. She shared that she was diagnosed with Cholestasis, a little-known but life-threatening complication. Sharing her pictures with her babies, she penned a note with a title that read, ‘When the Itch Could Have Taken My Babies: My Battle With Cholestasis.’
Celina Jaitly’s note read, “I was born with a rare genetic gift, a tendency to hyperovulate. I had two spontaneous twin pregnancies, a trait passed down through generations of women in my family. I later learned my mother too had carried twins after my brother & me, babies she tragically lost after a fall in Ranikhet. Even my great-great-grandmother died from complications during a twin pregnancy. Both my pregnancies were overwhelming. I had gestational diabetes, severe SPD, and in both, I developed #cholestasis of Pregnancy, a rare liver condition more common in twin pregnancies. It nearly broke me.”

The Bollywood actress also shed some light on the possible symptoms and wrote, “It starts with itching palms, soles, sleepless nights and a deep fear for your baby’s safety. Cholestasis isn’t “just a pregnancy itch.” It’s a warning from your liver that something’s wrong.” She also stated the importance of being kind and compassionate during these times. The note continued, “After my wonderful gynaecologist diagnosed me, I was referred to a hepatologist a Jordanian Dr who held my hand in a Dubai hospital and said a prayer. A man of science and faith. That moment of compassion stayed with me and reminded me of how important compassion is to a patient.”
Concluding her heartfelt note, Celina Jaitly urged the expecting mothers to be vigilant. She expressed that silence can never save any mother, but spreading awareness can. She also added a disclaimer stating that this is her personal experience, but every woman must consult her healthcare provider or trusted doctor.
