Iya Villania shares birth story; says Baby Astro is her last child
Many have been amazed after hearing that Iya Villania has already given birth after just seeing her on "24 Oras" last night.
Some fans have been looking up to her as pregnancy and delivery goals, but it turns out that even Iya had a difficult time getting Baby No. 4 out into the world.
On Instagram, Saturday, Iya shared her birth story, calling it her "longest and most painful delivery."
"I was praying for strength and courage every single day hoping to get thru an unmedicated birth to wrap up this journey (yes guys, I believe this is the last!)" Iya wrote.
"I was at 6 cm and giving up when I asked for the drugs when all of a sudden God flipped a switch and I delivered 30-40 minutes after!" she continued. "He knew the desires of my heart and He opened my cervix up before the drugs came."
Her husband Drew Arellano earlier shared photos of their new bundle of joy, Astro Phoenix. He also posted adorable mother-and-son snaps at the hospital.
Iya herself posted an Instagram Story this morning anticipating her delivery. Five hours later, she was seen wearing a hospital gown and hooked to an IV.
Iya and Drew tied the knot in 2014. They have three other children together: Primo, Leon, and Alana.
