IN PHOTOS: Phoemela Baranda is a blooming expectant mom

"Life begins."
This is what the 40-year-old model and TV personality Phoemela Baranda simply said to announce her pregnancy.
The soon-to-be mother of two posed naked showing off her baby bump in an exclusive feature by Preview Magazine.
Due to give birth in March 2021, Phoemela told the fashion magazine about looking forward to becoming a mother a second time around.
She revealed that she and her partner, Filipino-Chinese businessman and professional race car driver Jason Choachuy, "really planned for this pregnancy."
She was quoted as saying, “I've always wanted another child, and my partner [wanted one] as well--it's his first.”
Phoemela gave birth to her first child, Kim Nichole Baranda, when she was just 19 years old.
Since it has been two decades since she welcomed her first child, Phoemela admitted that she has "some anxieties" about her current pregnancy but she's "more excited to enter this new chapter."
She added, "This time the only difference is that I'm more mentally prepared but [I feel the] same amount of excitement and love, especially that my partner and Kim are beside me for support."
As she is set to enter a new chapter in her life, Phoemela makes the most of her pregnancy as she fondly shows off her growing tummy on her Instagram account.
Pregnancy may be difficult, but she shows that any woman can be sexy anytime in her life with the right mindset and healthy habits.
