Kris Bernal keeps it real about feeling beautiful during pregnancy: 'I'm more like a turtle on its back'
Kris Bernal just got real about her pregnancy journey.
On Instagram, Sunday, she posted a video of her trying on an OOTD and making poses before the camera.
At first, she wore a white robe and held a shimmering gold dress by a hanger, but the clip transitioned to her already wearing makeup and the dress.
"I'll be honest: I don't always feel attractive while I'm pregnant," she said.
"Most days I'm more like a turtle on its back trying to get back on its feet - always in a slow pace, gets tired easily, feels big/bloated, and all those insecurities that just any pregnant women go through," she added.
She added that some people may say she's glowing, "but sa true lang, hindi po talaga!"
On Instagram Stories, she also shared that she's drinking traditional Chinese herbal medicine tea.
"A ton of benefits and healing power!" she wrote. "Nasarapan naman ako pero ang hirap ubusin."
Earlier, she revealed that after she gives birth, she plans to undergo Chinese postpartum recovery.
She also shared that she's embracing her new and growing body with a photo of her in a yellow bikini.
Kris and husband Perry Choi are expecting a baby girl, which they revealed through a gender reveal party with fighting dinosaurs.
The couple, who tied the knot in September 2021, announced that they were expecting a baby last March.
