Actor and host, Juggun Kazim took to her Instagram today to open up about her struggle while being pregnant. In a heartbreaking post, she talked about her recent miscarriage, and how people incessantly body-shamed her during her high-risk pregnancy.
“Until a few days ago, I was pregnant. For some reason, I gained a lot of weight really really quickly. What shocked me was how much I started getting fat shamed,” she wrote. The post talked about her ordeal at length and shed light on a very important issue in our society; passing unnecessary judgments.
Going through a precarious pregnancy is hard enough, and if you add a slew of nasty comments to that, it isn’t very hard to imagine the state of a person’s mind then. “Till now, I wasn’t ready to share that I was expecting a baby because my pregnancies have generally been precarious. Last week I had a miscarriage. My doctor has now told me that this time it was quite serious and that there had been a lot of internal bleeding. I took a day off to mourn but then went back to work because, well, what else does one do? And the day after I resumed work, somebody again commented on how I was looking ‘extra healthy’,” revealed Juggun.
