She said in a lengthy statement: "For a while, I didn't know how to put this into words, but I am choosing to finally share this news publicly with you, as I finally feel it's the right time."

Zahida added: "I found out about my pregnancy very late, I never thought I would be one of them people who didn't have any symptoms and my body didn't change either for a long time, so I had no clue."

She explained how she had "other health issues" with her stomach and kidneys, and found out she was pregnant after appointments unrelated to pregnancy.

 

Zahida continued: "This news completely changed my life, but for the better.

"I chose to keep this news private and only share with family and best friends, until I felt ready.
