JUST IN: Heart Evangelista reveals she lost one of her twins

In a moving post on Instagram, Heart talked about that she and husband Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero were expecting twins, but unfortunately only one survives.

She said, “Unfortunately one of the embryos was smaller and behind in terms of development and so we lost one of the twins. Our hearts were heavy at the thought but we knew we had to focus on the good.”

 

During our first ultrasound we were a mixture of excitement and nervous but nothing could prepare us for what we would learn. We found out that I had a TWIN PREGNANCY. My sister has twins but I never imagined that I would be able to have twins as well. Unfortunately one of the embryos was smaller and behind in terms of development and so we lost one of the twins. Our hearts were heavy at the thought but we knew we had to focus on the good. This is the first photo of the twins where you can see the other embryo who is healthy and showing more positive signs of development. If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Motherhood this early on it’s that it won’t always be sunshine and butterflies, sometimes there will be cloudy moments. But it’s these ups and downs that I know will make me a stronger Mom. We now have a little angel up there and I trust that God is with us on this beautiful journey. I have to thank my wonderful husband who really has been my partner through it all. There is no one else I would rather do this with...??(Some of these things happened weeks ago way before we announced, I’m just sharing this now.)

The soon-to-be mom also allayed fears of some netizens that her constant wearing of heels was a factor why she lost her baby.

Heart also explained in detail that she suffered from Vanishing Twin Syndrome.

According to http://americanpregnancy.org,Vanishing Twin Syndrome "occurs when a twin or multiple disappears in the uterus during pregnancy as a result of a miscarriage of one twin or multiple. The fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin, multiple, placenta or the mother. This gives the appearance of a vanishing twin.”

Despite what happened, the talented Kapuso actress is moving forward and excited on her journey to motherhood. Check out her post on her Instagram story.
