Marian Rivera shares advice to mothers who feel insecure about their appearance postpartum

By Aaron Brennt Eusebio

Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera gave some tips to mothers who feel insecure about their appearance and body after giving birth.

Marian, who's a mother to four-year old Zia and 11-month old Ziggy, advised her fellow mothers to be proud of what they are.

“The mere fact na naging nanay ka, maging blessed ka kasi hindi lahat ay pinagpapala na magkaroon ng anak,” Marian advised.

“So 'yun pa lang, dapat maging blessed ka. So walang problema kung tumaba ka, or may mangitim sa 'yo dahil sa panganganak mo.

“Parte 'yun ng pagiging isang ina na maging proud ka dapat.”

Marian also stressed the importance of having a supportive husband, just like Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes.

“Naku, malaking factor ang asawa,” Marian shared.

“Kami kasi ni Dong, ano talaga kami, buo kami as a couple so alam kong palagi siyang nandiyan kapat may mga pakiramdam ako na nahihirapan ako, napapagod ako.

“At malaking factor talaga na nasa likod mo talaga ang asawa mo na pinu-push ka para maging positive ka everyday.”
