Guess What? Neno Warisman

Artist Neno Warisman gave birth to her third child last Friday. She delivered a daughter, weighing 3.75 kilograms and measuring 52 centimeters, at Asih Hospital in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta.

She almost lost her life after the Caesarean birth, her third, which caused massive bleeding. She was then rushed to Pertamina Hospital's intensive care unit, where she stayed for five days.

"It was the thought of my children which gave me strength," she said.

Giffari is her first child, a boy now three years and eight months old. She also has a one-year-old daughter, Maghfira.

Neno said she had not expected to get pregnant.

"Not because I wanted to reject God's gift, but my physical condition is not that strong anymore."

"Alhamdullilah, everyone is healthy now. I will breast-feed my daughter. Poor baby, I was not with her for several days."

Neno, whose real name is Titi Widoretno Warisman, is known for her role in the TV drama Sayekti and Hanafie. She also sings religious songs. (37)
