'I so enjoyed the first month with you in our new born baby bubble, keeping everything private and adjusting to our new life, you are the most special thing in my life.
'We faced so many challenges and obstacles, but together we overcame everything that was thrown our way and we beat the odds, now we are life partners my mini Z.
'I promise to care for you, guide you, protect you and give you eternal love. I love you my Zyra.'
Just last month the TV personality announced she was pregnant with her first child in a surprise Instagram post.
At the time she said she was just days away from giving birth to a baby girl after keeping her pregnancy a secret.
Cradling her baby bump, she wrote: 'A special announcement.. Mini Z coming very soon - May 2025'.
Zahida looked stunning in a gallery of pink-themed snaps as she showed off her bump while holding up the baby scan but did not reveal who the babies father is.
In a lengthy statement, she continued: '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.
'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.
'I had other health issues with my stomach and kidneys and upon getting countless appointments and investigation, there was little baby Z loving her little life in the womb.'
She 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. I hope everyone understands and respects why I made this decision.
'We have had some beautiful memories together with the bump, I'm deeply thankful to these important people in my life who have let me feel nothing but love and take many stresses and worries away. I feel lucky to have such amazing and pure love and support around me.
'I will never forget this period of time in my life and those who supported me, I am eternally grateful.'
Zahida also emotionally opened up about the loss of her father and said she has been 'grieving him all over again' and she feels 'heavily connected' to him again.
She shared: 'I imagined my dad would be here to meet his grandchild, so I grieved him all over again because it was my dad's dream to become a grandad.
'Some of his final words to me were "I am leaving all my prayers and blessings to you and your baby girl".
'I feel this was the baby my dad was speaking about, and I feel him and her are heavily connected through ways I can't even explain.'
Zahida then revealed that all of the cravings she has had during her pregnancy have been what she fed her dad at the end of his life.
She continued: 'The cravings I have had were all the things I was feeding my dad at the end of his life and how beautiful now I get to have those things for the beginning of new life - my baby.
'But this is not a sad post, it's a happy one. I am a hugely family orientated person, no matter how far in the world I've gone, my core is my family.
'So my baby is the biggest blessing of my life, I have felt so lucky to be carrying her all this time, feeling her grow and feeling her little kicks become big ones.
'Despite how uncomfortable it feels when she digs her foot between my ribs, this journey has been fascinating and magical and have loved being pregnant and snuggling my belly at night knowing my baby is in there.'
Zahida went on to say the baby is 'the biggest blessing' of her life and she can't wait to start her next chapter.
She concluded: 'For me, my life isn't ending, it's just beginning again and I am so excited to welcome my little miracle into the world and begin this next chapter of my life, becoming a mama.
'To all parents and those who are doing it alone, or are going to be doing it alone, you are so strong and I have SO MUCH respect and admiration for you. You should be incredibly proud of yourself.
Zahida added a touching message to her 'little mini me', gushing over how 'lucky' she feels to carry her and to be her mum.
She said: 'And to my little mini me, I feel so lucky to carry you ever day, feeling your movements and connecting with you. Words cannot explain how much happiness you've brought into my life and you aren't even here yet.
'I love you unconditionally and I cannot wait to finally meet you. All my love Zahida'.
Alongside the announcement, Zahida showed off her baby bump in a white bralette and pink striped pyjamas.
She posed holding up her ultrasound while surrounded by pink baby clothing and teddies.
In another snap the TV personality posed in a pink-figure hugging dress while snapping a mirror selfie and cradling her blossoming bump.
