ROBIN Padilla and Mariel Rodriguez are excited to welcome another addition to their family.
Rodriguez recently announced that she's three months pregnant. The "It's Showtime" host shared the pregnancy was unexpected but said they are hopeful that she will make it to full term this time.
To recall, Rodriguez had suffered two miscarriages.
"So far, so good. This is my longest pregnancy, so feeling ko ito na talaga 'yon. This is it. Ito kasi, hindi namin ito plinano, talagang nangyari. Noong umpisa pa nga, in denial pa ako, sabi ko, 'Huh? Hindi siguro.' So, it's really a blessing. We're really so happy," she said.
Padilla, who was initially disapproving of having another child, said he is now fully supporting his wife's pregnancy.
The actor said that even though he is not the one pregnant, he could feel the sufferings of his wife.
"Medyo mahirap ang pinagdaraanan ni Mariel. Kasi, alam naman natin ang istorya, na masyadong malakas ang anti-bodies niya. Laging kapag nag-uumpisa ang pagbubuntis niya, laging namamatay 'yong bata sa loob," he said.
Padilla revealed the television host is currently taking Heparin for her antibodies and shots of insulin for gestational diabetes.
"Buong hita niya puro pasa dahil, hindi naman dahil sa adik, pero kailangan niyang magsaksak ng heparin dalawang beses sa isang araw. Bukod pa sa sinasaksak niyang insulin. So, hindi madali ang pinagdadaanan ni Mariel, ang isinasakripisyo niya para sa bata."
He added that they also need to practice abstinence.
"Hindi ako 'yong buntis pero ako 'yong nakakaramdam ng hinagpis dahil bawal, e. No contact. 'Yon ang sakripisyo, mabigat," the actor said.
But Padilla said he's excited and looking forward to meeting their child.
"Excited ako kasi masaya siya. Talagang lahat pinagdaanan niya. Ako naman, medyo nagseselos nang kaunti dahil 'yon lang ang kanyang buhay, ang anak niya, anak namin. Pero excited ako dahil masaya siya. Ang importante naman para sa akin ay masaya siya," he ended.
