Rochelle Pangilinan shares her first pregnancy experience
Posting a photo of herself walking on a street as she showed off her baby bump, "Onanay" star Rochelle Pangilinan shared the struggles, pain, and joy of her first pregnancy.
In the caption, she narrated her pregnancy story, adding it is a stage of womanhood she will never forget.
Rochelle described her first trimester as...confusing. "Hindi mo maintindihan ang katawan, parang may lagnat ka, hindi makakain o namimili ka ng kakainin; nasusuka na ewan. Actually hindi ko masabi kung ano ang masakit sa kin, maraming kang ayaw, marami kang gusto na kakaiba," she said.
She revealed having mood swings around husband Arthur Solinap, and shared how siopao, dalandan, and cinnamon rolls have become her constant munchies.
She expressed her amazement at how wonderfully designed a woman's body is for pregnancy, presumably describing the different types of changes her body's undergoing in preparation for having a body.
"Ibang klase si God. Ginawa niyang automatic na naghahanda ang katawan ng babae para magluwal ng tao kaya nandun ang sumasakit ang balakang, likod, mainit ang dibdib mo lagi kasi daw nagkakagatas na; naging sensitive ang balat, lumaki ang paa, laging tulog, malakas at mabilis ang heartbeat," Rochelle continued.
"Ngayon, may gumagalaw na sa loob ng tiyan ko, minsan weird siya kung iisipin para kang may aquarium sa loob ng tiyan! Haha! Pero ibang klase ang miracle ni God kung paano unti unti syang nabubuo sa loob ng tyan ko,isipin mong kaya kong gumawa ng tao?!" she added.
Rochelle admitted to be scared of getting pregnant, but now that she's expecting, her fear has been replaced with excitement; all she wants, Rochelle said, is to meet her child and pray for her health.
"Dati takot akong magbuntis. Takot ako kasi sobrang masakit daw manganak ayon sa mga kaibigan. Ngayon naman ay parang excited na kong manganak kasi nakikita namin si baby lagi,stage by stage. Ang gusto lang namin ay maging healthy sya,kumpleto ang body parts at maging good follower sya ni God paglaki nya," she said.
Rochelle ended her story saying that she feels lucky to have a supportive and caring husband.
"Blessed ako dahil hindi ako pinahirapan sa pagbubuntis at binigyan ako ni God ng mabuting asawa,yung laging nandyan,gabi gabi bago sya matulog,sinisigurado nyang ok ako,kasama sa lahat ng bagay san man ako pumunta."
She said she and Arthur will soon reveal the gender of their baby, "Ngayon, excited na kaming malaman ang gender ni baby! Malapit na!"
Rochelle and Arthur tied the knot in August 2017, after being in a relationship for nine years. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
