Rica Peralejo reveals she was standing up when she gave birth to her second son

Rica Peralejo revealed that she gave birth to her second child standing up, as she was walking midway to the bathroom.

"I gave birth standing up and because I was midway a walk to the bathroom when the overwhelming bearing down came over me that my husband had to catch me and carry me as Manu’s head popped out!" Rica narrated on Instagram.

The actress said she suddenly felt weak but her husband Pastor Joseph Bonifacio came to the rescue.

"At that point, my legs felt so weak and surprised with the sheer power of a child coming through that they became jello and the only way I could recover and regain enough power was if my husband kept me up in his strong arms," she continued.

She added, "So indeed, I knew the way, but Joseph carried me. I gave birth while he was, with all his strength and might, propping his entire wife up as she was delivering a baby!"

A few days before giving birth, there were about eight people who received dreams pertaining to the upcoming birth of my second son, Manu. These were eight different people, one of them my husband, and another a friend from Japan. . . In my husband’s dream we had to cross a river which I once crossed before. The message was that he had to carry me through it as I lead the way. . . Meanwhile, our Japanese friend dreamt that they were to push my husband up as he carries me up on his shoulders while we ascend Mt.Fuji. We are supposed to give birth on top. In it I again knew the way, but my husband had to carry to me on our way. . . In both dreams, the common thing was I knew the way but my husband is to carry me for success. . . Guess what? I gave birth standing up and because I was midway a walk to the bathroom when the overwhelming bearing down came over me that my husband had to catch me and carry me as Manu’s head popped out! At that point, my legs felt so weak and surprised with the sheer power of a child coming through that they became jello and the only way I could recover and regain enough power was if my husband kept me up in his strong arms.???????? . . So indeed, I knew the way, but Joseph carried me. I gave birth while he was, with all his strength and might, propping his entire wife up as she was delivering a baby! . . This must be one of our best memories, @josephbonifacio. Also, one of our best truths. Since day one as husband and as father, the weight you had to carry for us was no easy feat but you do it with no hesitation and with all of who you are. How could we all hold up without you? . . . To our leader, happy father’s day and we love and look up to you so much! ??????????????????????????
