Food vlogger Ninong Ry has opened up about the painful pregnancy journey he and his wife, Belle, went through before welcoming their second child, Rafa.
In a social media post marking Rafa’s first month, the content creator revealed that they experienced two miscarriages before successfully conceiving their newborn.
“Before ipanganak si Rafa, nakunan kami ng dalawang beses. Masakit, syempre. Tinanggap na lang namin kasi baka may plano si Lord para samin,” Ninong Ry shared.
He said they later discovered that Belle had antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a condition that increases the risk of blood clots and can cause pregnancy complications, including recurrent miscarriages.
Wanting to prevent another pregnancy loss, the couple did everything they could to ensure a safe pregnancy, including taking multiple medications and undergoing daily injections.
Ninong Ry also acknowledged his wife's strength throughout the difficult experience, saying she endured most of the physical challenges of the pregnancy.
“Sa totoo lang, ang lahat ng hirap eh asawa ko ang tumangke. Sobrang lakas nya,” he said.
Their efforts eventually paid off as Belle gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Rafa.
The proud father also jokingly remarked that their newborn looks like him.
“Para sa aming Rainbow Baby na si Rafa, happy first month!” he added, while thanking NicePrint for helping them celebrate the milestone.
Rafa is the couple's second child. They also have an older son, Rue, whom they welcomed in 2024.
