In a video posted on Wednesday, September 9, LJ and husband Jimmy Alapag shared that the doctors didn't find the heartbeat of their baby.
Jimmy told, “She actually had an appointment last week that would have been six weeks, a little past six weeks, still a little in the pregnancy process.”
LJ added, “We were supposed to hear the heartbeat that appointment but then, we couldn't find one but the doctor was saying it could because it's too early and it could also because of the myoma.”
LJ shared that during her first antenatal check-up, the doctors told her that they found a myoma in her uterus but they assured her that it was not alarming.
She continued, “My first appointment, the doctors were saying there was growth or myoma in my uterus.
"Although she said not naman alarming cause it was growing the other way, not towards the baby.
“But then, during the appointment last week, the other OB that checked me was saying it could be the reason why I wasn't so clear.
“I went back with the next appointment hoping na we could hear na the heartbeat but unfortunately, we still couldn't but the doctor said, we'll still do everything we can.
“She said, 'I just wanna manage your expectations, there is a possibility that you could have a miscarriage.'
“The cause could be the thyroid antibodies that they found in my test. I can't really explain what exactly that is but I know if you try to get pregnant, it's not good to have that in your body.
“Anyway, she injected progesterone and put me on more medication and she said, 'We'll look, we'll try again in the next appointment.'
“So when we went in the next appointment, unfortunately, we found out na wala na talaga.
“I had a, they called it a miscarriage cause I didn't bleed at first but the pregnancy stopped, the baby stopped.”
Although they suffered a setback, Jimmy said that they still trust in God's plan to their family.
He said, “Not easy news for us to find out but at the same time, we have absolute faith in God's plan for us as a married couple, and even more important as a family.”
“And as disappointing as it is, my biggest concern was making sure that LJ was okay and having to tell the kids.”
LJ and Jimmy announced in a vlog posted on August 5 that they were expecting their fourth child.
The couple adopted their first child, Ian, in 2014. A few days later, they became pregnant with Keona.
In 2017, they welcomed their third child, Calen Asher.
