Bianca Gonzales revealed the struggles she experienced during the first four months of her pregnancy.

According to Bianca, who is expecting her second child with JC Intal, she was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum that makes her vomit for about eight to 10 times a day and made her lose nine pounds.

“It wasn’t morning sickness nor evening sickness, it was all day, all night sickness,” she said.

Unlike her experience, while bearing her firstborn Lucia, her second pregnancy was not easy.

“So boy, was I in for a surprise with this second pregnancy! My wonderful OB Dra. Tere helped me focus on the brighter side of things by reminding me that my nausea was a sign that my pregnancy hormones are strong, therefore, good for the baby. Thank God, our baby is very healthy and everything is a-okay,” she shared.

Nonetheless, Bianca assured her followers that she is doing a bit better now that she is halfway through her pregnancy.

“Cheers to all other mommas who are going through the same thing, or who have been through this, too! Truly, the toughest job in the world,” she concluded.

 

One of the many faces of motherhood. #realtalk (Warning: long #mommydiaries post) . . This is pretty much how I looked every single day during the first four months of my pregnancy. . . OH, TOILET. It wasn't morning sickness nor evening sickness, it was all day, all night sickness. I would vomit 8 to 10 times every day and I lost 9 pounds. Hyperemesis gravidarum, they call it, and apparently Kate Middleton and Ayesha Curry both had it just recently (pampalubag loob ko lol). I still went to work, did meetings, saw friends, and none of them had any idea that my bathroom breaks would be to vomit. I would always bring wipes and mouthwash everywhere I went. . . NOT A BREEZE. When I was pregnant with Lucia, it was sooooo easy. I felt like I aced it! It was so effortless, I didn't feel any uneasiness at all. So boy, was I in for a surprise with this second pregnancy! My wonderful OB Dra. Tere helped me focus on the brighter side of things by reminding me that my nausea was a sign that my pregnancy hormones are strong, therefore, good for the baby. Thank God, our baby is very healthy and everything is a-okay. . . ALMOST HALFWAY. I'm now 4.5 months and according to my pregnancy app, baby is the size of a sweet potato. I vomit only 2 to 3 times a day now (an absolute relief compared to 10 times a day) and I can eat a bit better. Just hoping to keep as fit and healthy as I can til I come to full term! . . Cheers to all other mommas who are going through the same thing, or who have been through this, too! ???????? Truly, the toughest job in the world.
