Sameera Reddy took to her IG handle on October 29, 2020, and shared a 'Jab we met' moment with her baby girl, Nyra. Sameera posted the very first picture of her daughter, Nyra taken in the hospital room post her delivery and penned a heartfelt note alongside it. Scroll down to check it out!
Posting a picture with her baby girl, Nyra from the hospital bed, Sameera wrote, "Jab we met. Amidst the bustling of nurses wheeling us to our roo; thiss was our moment, the one where I could not believe you were right beside me. The endless conversations we had for all those months you stayed cosy in my belly, and now the dream was a reality. Our adventures would finally begin. Motherhood!! What an incredible journey you have turned out to be. #messymama #throwbackthursday #motherhood #miracles #momentsofmine."
A few days ago, Sameera Reddy had posted a throwback picture of herself when she was pregnant with her first kid, Hans. Recalling how unprepared she was then, Sameera had written, "Angry, frustrated, self-loathing & spewing. Our own demons get to us! Akshai patiently worked through it with me. Throwback 2015, pregnant with Hans, hormonal, unaware & unprepared! Totally opposite of what I am today. We prepare for everything but what is most important the emotional support we require. What leads someone to feel low about one's body self-image? Whether you are a new mother or even otherwise? It can lead to a negative body perception that can dominate your moods, your inner happiness and destroy healthy relationships."
Talking about her transformation after the birth of her second child, Nyra, Sameera had expressed that positivity comes from within. Her note could be further read as "Two babies later, I look back and am so grateful for the unbelievable transformation. Not the physical one but the mental one, but it's difficult to see it when you are in a bad mental and physical space. The positive internal shift only comes with your own focus to pull yourself out of the rut and of course, the support from people around you. Be Kind. Be gentle with anyone who is struggling. You are #imperfectlyperfect at every age and every stage. #mentalhealthawareness #messymama #momlife #grace #bekind #loveyourself."

On October 8, 2020, Sameera Reddy had answered the most-asked question, 'how do you know you want a second child?', in an IG post. Posting a picture with her son, Hans, she had written in her caption, "How do you know you want a second child? I get asked this a lot. I'd like moms to share their experiences in the comments below. I find it hard to answer this because I believe everyone has their own experience and situation that can make this decision a very personal one."
Further expressing how she had worked hard to develop a loving relationship between her two kids, Sameera had written, "I always knew I wanted two kids. I'm working hard on their relationship in their formative years hoping they have a solid friendship and bond for life. The best way to gauge if I was ready was to just ask myself if I had the courage to do this all over again, the pregnancy ,sleepless nights ,weight gain, etc. I did suffer PPD the first time round but I was better equipped after Nyra. I was happy to redo it all over again."
Sameera had advised young mothers not to allow themselves to get pressurised for a second child and had continued, "In fact, I felt I didn't enjoy the whole process the last time because I was totally unprepared and too caught up with my emotions which Is why maybe today, I talk about it often hoping women will enjoy the process and not get pulled down by it. What about love? It naturally just splits between them and it's a balancing act with many moments of meltdowns on all sides but we get through it."
