On her lengthy Instagram post, Yasmine revealed that she gave birth to Cristiano a month early before her due date.

“Today [January 24] was supposed to be Cristiano's due date. I always felt I was meant to be a mother. I love kids and I love taking care of them even when I was a kid myself.

“When I had Alexandra and Aryana I was only 22 and 23 years old, trying to balance my new life as a wife of a public servant/actor and as a mother of a newborn and a toddler, in a new country miles away from my family.”

Yasmine also talked about that her last pregnancy, which was equally challenging not just for her but for her family too.

“I admit, in the beginning it wasn't easy,” she said.

“And although we planned to have more kids we decided that it was best to wait for the right time.

“I've been posting about how difficult my pregnancy with Cristiano has been but I have never explained what really happened.

“It has been a very challenging time for me and my family. I realized how little control I have over most of the situations.

“This pregnancy has excruciatingly given me a lot to go through physically and mentally. But I made it.”

Yasmine was also feeling emotional that her baby boy is doing fine after going through a lot.

She added that she is one proud mom, because Cristiano 'fought for his place in the world.'

Yasmine said, “As my pregnancy journey has come to an end, I think about all the things I wish I have done differently or I wish that never happened.

“But then, I'm just thankful that everything went well. And I'm now holding in my arms my baby boy.

“My heart is filled with love for my Cristiano. I am brought to tears when I think of all we have been through together.

“From the start he has always been the strong one and as early as now I can see his strong personality (tawag nga namin sa kanya boss baby).

“He fought for his place in this world and I know he is destined to accomplish great things in the future. I'm already so proud to be his mother.”

Today was supposed to be Cristiano's due date. I always felt I was meant to be a mother. I love kids and I love taking care of them even when I was a kid myself. When I had Alexandra and Aryana I was only 22 and 23 years old, trying to balance my new life as a wife of a public servant/actor and as a mother of a newborn and a toddler, in a new country miles away from my family. I admit, in the beginning it wasn't easy. And although we planned to have more kids we decided that it was best to wait for the right time. Time flew by so fast. And when I turned 30, we felt that we were finally ready to make our family bigger. We were lucky and at our first try, we were blessed with Cristiano. I've been posting about how difficult my pregnancy with Cristiano has been but I have never explained what really happened. It has been a very challenging time for me and my family. I realized how little control I have over most of the situations. This pregnancy has excruciatingly given me a lot to go through physically and mentally. But I made it. What I pray everyday now is to have the strength to be able to one day share my experience to others so that, maybe, I could help someone who is going through the same challenges. I know many other women are in a similar or even more complicated path than mine. And I'm sure they're scared, confused like I was and not properly informed. As my pregnancy journey has come to an end, I think about all the things I wish I have done differently or I wish that never happened. But then, I'm just thankful that everything went well. And I'm now holding in my arms my baby boy. My heart is filled with love for my Cristiano. I am brought to tears when I think of all we have been through together. From the start he has always been the strong one and as early as now I can see his strong personality (tawag nga namin sa kanya boss baby). He fought for his place in this world and I know he is destined to accomplish great things in the future. I'm already so proud to be his mother. #alfredocristianovargasIV #vargasnapagibig #yasminevargas
