Alex Gonzaga details pregnancy journey, from bed rest to birth of baby boy
Alex Gonzaga is now officially a mother to a baby boy.
In her latest YouTube vlog titled "My Pregnant Life," the actress and content creator detailed her pregnancy journey, from her late second trimester to finally giving birth.
In the vlog, Alex revealed that she was placed on total bed rest in late June due to a small opening in her cervix. During this time, she took all the rest she needed while also giving in to her food cravings, including kare-kare given to her by her neighbor, Pauleen Luna-Sotto.
Then, at the start of her third trimester in July, Alex found out that she had gestational diabetes, which required her to monitor her blood sugar before and after meals.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, gestational diabetes is a type of temporary diabetes that develops during pregnancy, with symptoms expected to disappear after giving birth.
The vlog also gave a glimpse into Alex's small moments at home with her husband Mikee Morada, including singing to their baby and having meals together.
Toward the end of the vlog, Alex confirmed that she had given birth earlier in August.
Alex and Mikee got engaged in 2020 and got married in 2021.
In May, the couple announced they were expecting after suffering three miscarriages. —Hermes Joy Tunac/MGP, GMA News
