Rica Peralejo suffers 3rd miscarriage: ‘God has prepared my heart better this time’

Rica Peralejo-Bonifacio revealed that she recently suffered from her third miscarriage.

In a YouTube vlog, Rica said she knew of her pregnancy a little before Father’s Day in June. Weeks later, they found out an embryo wasn’t growing. 

“I was positive for pregnancy so yay, good news" Rica began.

"The bad news there is: I was positive. That means I no longer am,” she explained. “We had to accept the reality that this is not gonna develop anymore.”

According to Rica, she "started to just bleed and bleed a lot. I knew the pregnancy has ended."

After feeling that her previous miscarriages in 2016 and 2017 were shocking and unfair, Rica said she is more calm and peaceful this time around.

“God has prepared my heart better this time. It’s more of like, ‘Lord, tulungan mo na lang ako ma-manage yung pain kasi ayoko na kasi sana madaanan yung gano’ng sobrang sakit,’” she said.

“Ang daming nawala sa’kin pero ang dami ko ring nakuha. I think it’s only a matter of acknowledging na while there were things that he did not give me, I also cannot just say that’s all he does.”

Though she’s in a better place now, Rica admitted: “I’m still suffering. I still have my bouts of sadness.”

Despite this, she knows that she is “getting there.” She also said “some of my greatest, most beautiful, wonderful revelations of God has come to me while I was in deep pain.”

Rica is married to Pastor Joseph Bonifacio. They have two kids: Philip and Manu. — LA, GMA News
