Actor Chhavi Mittal welcomes baby boy after 10 months of pregnancy. See pic

Television actor Chhavi Mittal has been blessed with a baby boy on May 13. The actor, who hit limelight with serials like Krishnadasi, took to Instagram to share the news and the first picture of her son and his name, Arham Hussein.

Sharing the cute picture, she wrote: “Announcing the arrival of baby boy Arham Hussein on 13th may. Thank you so much for all your wishes I’m still in the hospital recovering, and will be sharing my birth story soon :)#babyboy.” Among those who congratulated her was fellow TV actor Aashka Goradia, who simply wrote ‘Congratulationssssss’ (with many heart emojis)

What’s different in Chhavi’s case is that her baby arrived after 10 months, and not the usual nine months. On May 2, Chhavi shared her thoughts on Instagram. She had written: “The 10th MONTH... Here I am, thinking I have seen it all and heard it all... But in the 11th hour of my pregnancy, there’s yet another myth that I need to address! The 10th month. Yes, there is a 10th month in pregnancy, and I’m currently living it. So many people tried to correct me in one of my recent posts, thinking I may have accidentally written 10th instead of 9th. No it was no accident. The 10th month, as logic suggests, starts after the 9th month ends. After 36 weeks of pregnancy, the baby is officially ready to come into this world. 40 weeks is considered a full term, and that’s when the doctor gives you EDD (estimated due date). The due date is always ESTIMATED because nobody can predict when the baby arrives. It is extremely common and absolutely normal for women to reach 42 weeks before natural labour begins... especially if it’s the second pregnancy... and once you cross 38/39 weeks, your 10th month begins. So, while my clock ticks, I could go into labour right this minute, or another week later... I’m not worried. Because I know, once the baby comes, I’ll have my hands full! And I think now is the perfect time to also say that it’s always the baby who decides when labour will begin. So you can try all you want, get restless, get scans done, pray that the baby comes fast (I know it’s uncomfortable)... But trust me, the baby is the most comfortable inside you! So don’t hold your breath... But remember, good things come to those who wait...”

According to a report in DNA, Chhavi and her husband Mohit Hussein have been married for more than 14 years and have a six-year-old daughter. The actor has been sharing the journey of her second pregnancy on Instagram with her fans.
