In a moving post on Instagram, Heart talked about that she and husband Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero were expecting twins, but unfortunately only one survives.

She said, “Unfortunately one of the embryos was smaller and behind in terms of development and so we lost one of the twins. Our hearts were heavy at the thought but we knew we had to focus on the good.”

The soon-to-be mom also allayed fears of some netizens that her constant wearing of heels was a factor why she lost her baby.

Heart also explained in detail that she suffered from Vanishing Twin Syndrome.

According to http://americanpregnancy.org,Vanishing Twin Syndrome "occurs when a twin or multiple disappears in the uterus during pregnancy as a result of a miscarriage of one twin or multiple. The fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin, multiple, placenta or the mother. This gives the appearance of a vanishing twin.”

Despite what happened, the talented Kapuso actress is moving forward and excited on her journey to motherhood. Check out her post on her Instagram story.
