Andi Manzano Says There's One Unique Thing About Her Third Pregnancy, 'Nakakahiya Sabihin Eh'

Andi Manzano says she and her husband GP Reyes are very happy and satisfied to have a third baby girl. 

The couple already has two adorable girls, Olivia, 8, and Amelia, 4. Andi said they didn't plan their age gap, but they found it ideal because they have enough time to spend with each child, which helps them also in adjusting for the next sibling.

Andi shared with Smart Parenting that their eldest daughter Olivia was the first girl in her husband's side of the family after 35 years, "And now we gave them three more girls!" she said at the launch of pregnancy product brand Mama's Choice, where she was named as the first-ever Chief Mama Officer.

The former DJ and host has three sisters and a brother, while GP has five brothers and a sister, "I'm the eldest, and I feel like raising three girls is already something I've done. It's all in God's plan. May practice na."

They announced their pregnancy on Thanksgiving day last year. "Having two girls is already so much fun. You have your mini-mes, but imagine having three. I can't imagine, but I'm sure it's going to be so much fun," she added. 

What Andi's third pregnancy is like

Andi, who will be turning 36 this year, said she's grateful that all her pregnancies have been smooth and without complications. She didn't have weird pregnancy cravings, except for steak and chocolate milk. What makes her third pregnancy different aside from experiencing more back pains and needing more naps, is this one thing.

"Maybe it's the hormones, maybe I'm extra emotional but I have a target for each pregnancy."

"Nakakahiya sabihin eh. In every pregnancy, parang I have a certain "target," she revealed.

In her first pregnancy, she said she became very dramatic and emotional when it comes to her sisters. While pregnant with Amelia, she became very masungit towards her mom. 

"And this pregnancy, it was my husband! So he goes like, "What's wrong with you?" And I was like, "Just understand!" Parang I'm more matapang now, watching his every move until he makes a mistake, and then I'll attack. He's like, "I can't wait for this pregnancy to be over!"

She added, "Maybe it's the hormones, maybe I'm extra emotional but I have a target for each pregnancy."

Andi is due to give birth on May 16, but she said she looks forward to her babymoon in Japan with GP before they officially become a family of five. 

She said she would love to have a baby boy next, perhaps after four years. Nevertheless, she is enjoying the moment. She reminds other moms to have time for self-care. She tells other expecting moms, "Relax, [don't] stress out, [don't] worry. Know that the best person to mother your child is you."
