Marian Rivera talks stretchmarks, other pregnancy ‘side effects’
Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera was a blooming mom on Thursday at the launch of her jewelry line.
Marian is soon expecting her second child with husband Dingdong Dantes and through it, she told GMA News' Aubrey Carampel that the secret to her seemingly effortless beauty is sheer joy.
"Mahirap man siya... ito 'yong gusto ko at pangarap ko siya. Kaya siguro lumalabas sa awra na masaya talaga ako," the actor said.
Marian said that she had been warned about the possible "side effects" of being pregnant with a boy as opposed to a girl, including darkening of certain body parts, but she said that she took all of it in stride.
"Kung anoman 'yong maging side effect nang pagbubuntis, kahit magka-stretchmarks ka o mangitim 'yong kung anong parte... okay lang 'yon kasi parte 'yon," Marian explained.
She revealed that she has not added any extra steps to her regular beauty routine and simply uses a bit of lotion here and there to address dryness.
The actor additionally said that she is not entirely conscious of the effect the food she eats has on her weight and said, "Bawal mag-diet kapag buntis. Kawawa naman ang anak ko, kailangan maraming nutrisyon!"
She added, "Ang mahalaga sa akin, maalagaan ko siya, mailabas ko nang maayos at healthy kami."
Marian in previous interviews has said that family is her top priority and she will be taking some time off from work to start preparing for the birth of her son. — AT, GMA News
