Reposting a video of a woman explaining the do's and dont's of 'new parent visits,' Angelica have classified these tips as 'Great advice.'
Some of the tips were assisting with household chores, offering to carry the baby, and asking the new mom about how she has been coping with motherhood.
These simple gestures of support can mean a lot to new parents, who often find themselves overwhelmed by the new responsibilities and adjustments that come with having a baby.
But in Angelica's case, she realized to her disappointment that goodwill visits were not the agenda of some of the people who saw her after her childbirth.
She did not name names, but she wrote in the closed caption (published as is) of the reposted video: "Hmmm... until now hindi pa din ako madalas kamustahin ng mga fersons.
"All they want is to see my baby. But not really "visiting" me.
"Not a single text on hows my hip injury. If i still have post partum blues.
"But nasasanay naman na ko. Pero walang gulatan kung lumalayo loob ko ha?"

Angelica's message did strike a chord with many new parents in similar situation.
But It has to be said that friends and even family can get overly excited about the arrival of a new baby that sometimes they tend to forget to ask how the new mother is doing emotionally and physically.
Angelica and her partner Gregg Homan welcomed their baby, Amila Sabine Homan, in September 2022.
They announced their engagement a month later and are now planning to tie the knot in 2024.
Meanwhile, Angelica continues to share in her platfom her birthing experiences with a mind to shed light on the challenges facing new parents, especially those in the public eye.
