In her third trimester, pregnant Kris Bernal reminds herself: 'Comparison is toxic!'
Kris Bernal is reminding herself that every pregnant woman’s body is unique.
On Instagram, the actress shared a pregnancy update, opening up about her third trimester experience.
“When you're in the third trimester and every movement takes a million times more energy than normal,” she wrote.
“They say I grow big babies and I'm too big for my small frame!” she addedd. “It's hard enough not to compare the size of my belly to another pregnant woman's! But, comparison is toxic! There is no competition here! Everytime comparison starts to creep in, I remind myself that every pregnant woman's body is unique and should be celebrated!”
She said that as long as her baby's healthy, she doesn't mind getting bigger, rounder, and heavier.
"Recent growth scan went well," she added. "Baby seems happy inside that she's not descending yet and cervix isn't dilating enough.”
Kris is married to businessman Perry Choi.
They announced that they are expecting their baby girl in April. The couple recently flew to South Korea for a babymoon.
Kris has been open about her pregnancy journey, including the hormones and changes in her body.
In June, Kris wrote an appreciation post for her husband and said she hopes their baby will have his qualities.
