Solenn Heussaff: 'So far, it has been a pretty easy pregnancy'

Three days after the news broke out, Solenn Heussaff shared in her personal blog how she and husband, Nico Bolzico, perfectly timed their pregnancy.

JUST IN: Did Solenn Heussaff just announce her pregnancy?

When it comes to making massive decisions like pregnancy, the Love You Two star gets hardly influenced as she takes things slowly and lives her life the way she wants it to be.

She shared, "Two years ago, I shared a blog about not being in a hurry when it comes to finding “The One”. I think that's always how I've lived my life, enjoying it as much as I can and not trying not to give in to the world's pressure of having to do everything at a certain time. I took my time dating, getting engaged, and getting married. After Nico and I got married, everyone wanted to know when would have kids, especially after my friends started having children. I don't know if it's a Filipino culture thing, but there was definitely a pressure to have kids right away. So many people had something to say and so many opinions to give. But even with all that, Nico and I still took our time getting pregnant."

Solenn agrees that we all have different preferences, and in her case, she prefers to have kids past her 30s, so that she and Nico can enjoy being a married couple first.

She said, "Personally, I have always wanted to have kids past my 30s. There were a lot of things that Nico and I wanted to experience as a married couple first, like traveling as much as we could and prioritizing each other and our careers."

She then noted, "Don't get me wrong, there are women who want to get preggo at a younger age. That's great and it is easier in a lot of ways to have children when you're younger, but our choice was to do it when we were ready, not when books or the internet or our family or other people said so."

Having kids is a big responsibility, therefore, Solenn suggests "to consider your health, the health of the baby you will have, your partner's and your career, and the timing of it all."

Solenn also took to her blog to express how happy she is to get pregnant at the time when she and Nico are ready.

The multi-hyphenate star said, "Honestly, I am glad Nico and I started trying to get pregnant when we were ready. And when it happened, we also got to share it with the world when we were ready."

Being pregnant for the first time, Solenn is proud to share that she has been handling it pretty easy.

"So far, it has been a pretty easy pregnancy. I don't feel super out of place in my own body and there's no morning sickness so far. I guess the biggest changes are me just taking it easy with work, feeling busog all the time, and tasting iron (weird hahaha) whenever I eat."

Now that she finally announced her pregnancy, Solenn asks her followers to be more open-minded about her active lifestyle.

She said, "Of course, I will always get a bunch of unsolicited advice from people who don't even know what exactly what I'm going through, but that just comes with this life. When I post Stories of me working out, so many people get freaked out and message me, but you have to remember that I have been very active for a lot of my adult life. If you don't work out at all and then you start working out intensely when you get pregnant, that might not be good for you or your baby. But because my body is so used to working out, it's actually better for me to continue being active, minus certain movements and some ab workouts that will be uncomfortable for me and the baby."

Solenn then shared her trusted physical trainers whom she follows online to stay fit during pregnancy.

She wrote, "There are actually some pre-natal programs from trainers I follow online and you can check with your OB if you can do them also:


1. Tanya Poppett
2. Kayla Itsines
3. Julia Baird

On the last part of the blog, Solenn did not forget to express her gratitude to those who showed their love in this momentous event of her life.

She wrote, "Thank you to everyone who showed their love and support so far.

She also wrote, "We're excited to meet our Baby Bolz!"
