Sam Pinto, Anthony Semerad at Baby Mia
KAHIT pala normal delivery nang ipanganak ng model-actress na si Sam Pinto ang panganay nila ng asawang si Anthony Semerad, naka-experience pa rin siya ng ilang pregnancy issues.
Isang buwan matapos isilang si Baby Mia, ibinahagi ni Sam sa publiko ang ilan sa mga naging kaganapan sa kanyang pagbubuntis at kung paano niya nalampasan ang mga challenges ng pandemic habang nagdadalang-tao.
Sa kanyang Instagram page, naikuwento ng aktres na mahigit 40 weeks na ang baby sa kanyang tummy nang magtungo sila ni Anthony sa ospital para magpa-check up.
Aniya, nagkaroon siya ng preeclampsia habang nagbubuntis. Ayon sa isang health website, ang “preeclampsia” ay isang uri ng “pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, most often the liver and kidneys. Preeclampsia usually begins after 20 weeks of pregnancy in women whose blood pressure had been normal.”
Pahayag ni Sam, “For some reason I developed hypertension during my pregnancy even if I think that’s the healthiest I’ve ever been. Maybe cause my mom also was preeclampsia.”
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “When I was 36 weeks pregnant, her size was 32 weeks. Had to drink this special vitamins and in 2 weeks, her size was perfect.
“Lastly, my placenta was low for the longest time. It’s suppose to go up early on the pregnancy. But mine took its time.
“Finally on my 36th week, it went up. Oh if it doesn’t go up, I would have to do a c-section cause it’s blocking the birth canal,” kuwento pa ng model at aktres.
Kasunod nito, nakaramdam din siya ng grabeng kaba nang mag-isa na lang siya sa ospital dahil pinauwi na niya ang asawa bilang pag-iingat na rin laban sa COVID-19.
“Since it’s my first baby, I didn’t know what to expect. But I was already feeling some weird throbbing and didn’t know that was already contractions and was in the first stage of labor.
“I was alone the whole time — honestly I didn’t mind.. at least no pressure. Had my phone with me to keep me entertained. Plus I was on epidural so I kept dozing off.
“Finally after 16 hours, Mia was ready to come out. And Anthony was able to enter the delivery room (Oh he also needed a RT-PCR test that’s valid for 3 days to be able to be with my in the delivery room and stay with me after giving birth).
“After 3 pushes, she was out! Anthony cut her umbilical cord. Stayed in the hospital for technically 3 days. 1 day for labor and 2 days recovery room,” chika pa ni Sam.
Ipinanganak ni Sam ang panganay nila ni Anthony las Sept. 1, 2021.
