Regine was 41 years old when she gave birth to Rosie Rignée, her third child and first baby with partner, filmmaker, and photographer Dondi Narciso.

“The epic journey of motherhood,” she wrote in the caption of her video on Instagram.

“6 months before and 6 months after childbirth. All mothers face the same challenges physically and mentally but the experience is so rewarding.

“That is the miracle of life.”

Rosie Rignée is only a few months old, but she is already a brave warrior.

She was born with a fever, which went as high as 39.9 degrees Celsius and pneumonia.

Rosie Rignée also needed to be intubated for six days to help her breathe. She also had to spend her first few days at the hospital as she needed to undergo several diagnostic tests to ensure that she was safe.
