Popular singer Nick Jonas has recalled the birth of his and Priyanka Chopra’s daughter, Malti Marie. He recently had his say on the latest episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, his baby girl actually came to the world under very intense circumstances because she was born amid the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing him and Priyanka to do 12-hour shifts at the hospital for three and a half months at some point.
Nick added that his daughter basically had to be resuscitated before undergoing six blood transfusions to gain the required weight to survive.
His words, “We were expecting her to arrive in April of the year she was born, and we get a call that it’s going to be sooner. So basically, we went into action.
We got to the hospital, and she came out. She was 1 pound, 11 ounces, and … purple.
These angels at the NICU resuscitated her in that moment, and got her taken care of really quickly and intubated and everything else.
Priyanka and I would basically do 12-hour shifts at the hospital for three and a half months.
I could still sort of like, smell it, you know, there’s always visceral things. It’s, it’s … it was both comforting and frightening, to be there every day and to see other families going through similar situations.
Malti fought every day for three and a half months and slowly started to gain some weight. She received six blood transfusions and was doing great and we got to take her home after three and a half months.
I feel like she knows how she entered the world and what that first chapter of her life was like. And so every day is a gift, and you can actually feel it in her in the way that she behaves and how exciting everything is.”
WOW.
