On Instagram, the mom of two shared that she experienced 25 hours of labor at home without any medications.

“Let me just say that it was a miracle to actually do homebirth, vbac (vaginal birth after caesarian), and to remain completely unmedicated all throughout the labor.” she wrote.

“So many times I wanted to quit... but somehow strength came to my bones and body.”

On a separate post, Rica said her whole family longed for their newest family member.

“How can I not shed tears if it had to take five years, 38 weeks of praying God will sustain him, 25 hours of labor before I can finally have this boy? His papa, kuya, and I, have longed for him deeply.”

It can be recalled that Rica announced that she was pregnant and was expecting a baby boy early this year.

This is her second baby with husband Joseph Bonifacio with whom she was married in 2010. They already have a 5-year-old son named Philip.
