'Adopted a dog after facing first miscarriage'

Nauheed Cyrusi spoke about suffering two miscarriages.

Nauheed recently shared a video of herself and spoke candidly about her journey. She said, "We got married in 2017, and in 2018, we got pregnant with our first baby. Unfortunately, that ended up in a miscarriage in the third month. The doctor told me to go out and tell my family. We went in for our last checkup, and unfortunately, there wasn’t any heartbeat, and we ended up adopting Jojo. He is our almost-blind, almost-deaf Cocker. We adopted him from the SPCA."

'This world is not the same world that we grew up in'

She added, “In the middle of Covid, we got pregnant with a second baby. It also ended in a miscarriage. By now, we have started to think about our purpose in life, and that it has to be something more than just getting babies into this world, and please tell me you have noticed that this world is just not the same world that we grew up in.”

'A lot of women are pressured into having kids'

In the caption accompanying the video, Nauheed reflected on the societal pressure many couples face to have children. She wrote in the caption, “Now that my women-to-men ratio is finally great, I thought I'd tell you why...I don't owe anyone this explanation, but there are a LOT of women like me who must feel sooo pressured into having kids when there could be soo much more you can do with your life.”
