Alicia Bugeja Said first Maltese woman to give birth whilst Member of Cabinet

Alicia Bugeja Said, who is currently acting as Parliamentary Secretary for Fishing, Aquaculture and Animal Rights, has just become the first woman in Malta to give birth whilst being a Member of the Maltese Cabinet.

Bugeja Said took to Facebook to post an adorable photo of her finger being grasped by her newborn baby girl.

‘Today was the most beautiful day of our lives as a new family member joined us and made us parents’ wrote the Parliamentary Secretary on Sunday.

‘I wish to thank from the bottom of my heart the Mater Dei team for their work and dedication, as well as all of those who showed support during this voyage, especially my husband Malcolm’ she said.

‘It’s a girl’ she finished off her post saying. As Bugeja Said continues to recuperate, it bodes well to note that she kept attending to her duties until the very last few moments which her pregnancy allowed her. This showed Bugeja Said’s dedication to her work in government and should be very much applauded!

On behalf of MaltaDaily, we congratulate Alicia, Malcolm and all their loved ones for their new family member!
