"I questioned myself so many times if I should have a second baby . I was a complete wreck after my first born . PPD hit me like a brick . I lost control of my body and my self worth. And it took a toll on my marriage because I had no clue how to handle it . I had a rock of husband, amazing in laws and my family that never let my hand go thru it all and that really helped ?? So many women ask me how I knew I wanted another child," Sameera wrote on Instagram.

She further added, "Honestly everyone’s journey is different and it’s hard to pin down what makes you sure . But I will tell you that the only thing i knew is that this lil girl , my Nyra , showed me how fearless I am and I knew it was my decision and I could handle it . Because those sleepless nights , the body changes and the adjustment to the first born is not easy .. but it’s not difficult either . So many factors . Financial , emotional or just plain support that can make it the right or wrong decision."

And our gut instinct is the most powerful voice if we just listen and believe . I trusted mine and I’m so glad I did . Whatever your voice is saying , even if it’s choosing not to be a mom or to stay single or to have more than one child . It’s your choice and no one can pressure you otherwise ❤️ Trust your instinct #woman #youarepowerful."
