Nadine Samonte excited to give birth to her third child

Nadine Samonte expresses her excitement over the arrival of her third baby, another girl, with husband, Richard Chua, son of actress Isabel Rivas.

In her post last Friday, October 29, the StarStruck alumna shared her maternity photos showing her big tummy in black and white printed body-hugging dress before she gives birth in November.

"I'm so excited na pero wait lang diyan ka lang muna baby ko. November pa tayo magkikita," she said with grinning face with sweat drop and heart-eyed emojis.

Nadine also shared that she started to feel back pains already because of the added weight of her baby in her womb whom she said "the biggest so far" among her children. But the blooming expectant mom is "not complaining" either.

Nadine suffers from antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APAS) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), hence it is difficult for her to get pregnant.

To prevent complications from these conditions, she has to take several medications like multiple injections of Lymphocyte Immunization Therapy (LIT), Innohep (to prevent blood clots), and Proluton (to prevent premature labor), and lots of oral medications. On top of this, Nadine has check-ups every ten days all throughout her pregnancy.

Nadine and Richard welcomed their first child Heather Sloane in August 2016, while their son Austin Titus was born in April 2019.

The couple announced Nadine's third pregnancy back in June 9 and revealed that they are going to have another daughter in their YouTube vlog uploaded on August 22.

Aside from Nadine, get to know other celebrities who were diagnosed with PCOS.
