Sophie, hirap sa pagbubuntis

BY RUEL J. MENDOZA

Manganganak na anytime si Sophie Albert sa baby girl ni Vin Abrenica. Ito raw ang pinakahihintay ni Sophie dahil mahirap daw pala ang magbuntis.

“Naghihintay na lang talaga ko for the birth. I’m so ready na kasi ang hirap na, ang bigat na parang, ugh, I’m over being pregnant. But yeah, I’m excited kasi it’s a new chapter for us and everything happened so fast,” sey ni Sophie.

Inamin ni Sophie na nahirapan siya sa first three months ng kanyang pagbubuntis. Inilihim daw muna nila ito ni Vin.

“In the beginning that’s how we treated it na parang, okay, we don’t know kung anong mangyayari parang how hard naman if we announce and then hindi matuloy si pregnancy or whatever.

“So after a while, I guess, we were just waiting for the right time and I didn’t want to announce it too soon ’cause you can’t take it back. Vin and I just want to enjoy it first to ourselves, with our families.”

Nagka-anxiety din daw si Sophie dahil nabuntis siya during the pandemic. 

“There are so many things I went through this pregnancy na hindi ko ever na-experience in my life and I wish I had my girlfriends who I can talk to or kahit man makalabas ako, I couldn’t do that so I was really stuck at home.”

“One of the things that worries me the most is, siyempre, gusto ko kasama ko si Vin kapag nanganak ako, to have the support because it’s my first time, I’m a first-time mom.

“I don’t know what to expect. Many moms labor na mag-isa sila or they give birth na mag-isa so ‘yun yung isa sa mga worries ko. We’re not guaranteed that there’s gonna be somebody with us while we give birth. Oh my God, ‘wag naman sana tayo magkaroon ng Covid or anything. It’s really scary.”
