“ROLLER coaster of emotions.” Ganyan inilarawan ni Miss Universe 1999 first runner-up Miriam Quiambao ang naging karanasan niya sa pagbubuntis at panganganak sa edad 46.
Inalala ng dating beauty queen at TV host ang kanyang birthing experience ilang araw matapos isilang ang “miracle baby” at second child nila ng asawang si Ardy Roberto.
Abot-langit ang pasasalamat ni Miriam dahil sa kabila ng mga challenges na hinarap niya habang nagbubuntis lalo na ngayong panahon ng pandemya ay maayos pa rin niyang naisilang si Ezekial Isaiah Roberto, o Baby Ziki.
Ibinahagi nga ng TV host at aktres sa kanyang Instagram page ang ilang detalye nang ipanganak niya si Baby Ziki.
“It’s been a week since I gave birth via scheduled cesarean section to my miracle baby Ezekial Isaiah ‘Baby Ziki’ Roberto, and what a week it has been!
“It was a roller coaster of emotions as memories of my first CS came to mind. I was both excited and anxious at the same time. Some fears dared to creep at the back of my mind.
“I’m so grateful to God’s never-ending grace whose presence never left my side,” simulang pahayag ni Miriam.
Nag-share rin siya ng ilang mga kaganapan noong nasa operating room siya bago ang kanyang cesarean section, “Listening to the ‘Childbirth In The Glory’ album from Spotify helped me be grounded in His word and gave me the faith, the strength, and the mindset as I prayed and believed God for a supernatural birth.
“The doctors were kind enough to allow me to play the album inside the OR and whenever I felt anxious, a timely verse came out from the speakers which gave me renewed faith and strength to face the ordeal ahead.
“Barely 4 hours of intermittent sleep per night, the pain of engorgement and my C-section, adjustments in the household are just some of the challenges to contend with,” kuwento pa ng dating beauty queen.
Nagpasalamat din siya sa kanyang asawa dahil talagang sinuportahan at inalagaan siya nito nang bonggang-bongga.
“I am grateful to my husband @ardyroberto for journeying with me from the beginning till the end: staying with me in the hospital, caring for me and the baby. And now our journey as new parents is just beginning again.
“Thank you to the medical team headed by OB/Gyne Extraordinaire @dr.beckysingson who made sure that I get the utmost medical care,” sabi pa ng celebrity nanay.
Bukod sa panganay niyang si Elijah at kay Baby Ziki, may stepson din si Miriam na nagngangalang Joshua.
