In a heartfelt and candid vlog, former actress Kathleen Hermosa-Santos shared the news of her pregnancy. The vlog comes shortly after she posted a short video on her Instagram which shows her and her husband, Miko Santos, along with her baby bump.
The vlog starts with what seems to be a typical day for the couple, with Kathleen just waking up and proceeding to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test. Miko joins her a few moments later, and they wait for the result. They then show the pregnancy test, which has a faint second line, to the camera, with Kathleen saying, “Healthy baby, Lord.”
Kathleen also shared how they revealed the news to her sister, actress Kristine Hermosa-Sotto and her family. Kristine reveals the positive pregnancy test to their family members and confirms, “Ate, buntis ka. Buntis na buntis ka na naman.”
In the next clips, Kathleen candidly expresses her emotions about her new pregnancy. “I don’t know if it’s just me or is this normal? I’m excited but at the same time, I’m nervous,” she reveals.
“I want this pregnancy to be stress-free. My anxieties are gone… I learned from my previous pregnancy. So now, we’re chill. We won’t be affected by all the worries of the world.”
She also shared her plans for having a healthy pregnancy, “I want an active pregnant woman. I don’t like to lie down. I’m not gonna jump but I want regular stretching, walking. I want a healthier way of conceiving a child. Even my food intake. I’m really trying to be as healthy as I can be.”
The vlog then ends with Kathleen and Miko visiting their OB to check the baby’s heartbeat.
Kathleen’s miscarriage
Last year, Kathleen revealed in an emotional video that they were “once pregnant with triplets.
“I named them TresM! Marking this day as one of His faithful reminders. He did it to us. He will do it again!” Kathleen said at the time.
Kathleen’s previous pregnancy was considered a blighted ovum or anembryonic pregnancy. This happens when a fertilized egg implants into the uterus but doesn’t grow into an embryo.The embryo stops growing, but the gestational sac (where the embryo would develop) continues to grow, causing a miscarriage in the first trimester of pregnancy.
Congratulations and praying for a safe pregnancy journey, Kathleen and Miko!
