After several months of speculation, Rufa Mae Quinto finally confirmed that she is pregnant for exactly “17 weeks” now.
The 38-year-old actress admitted that she feels blessed to be carrying her first baby with fiance Trev Magallanes.
“Siyempre, ninerbiyos din ako kung mabibigyan ko talaga siya ng family kasi yung age ko, di ba, 38 [years old]?
“So, sabi ko, ‘Mabibigyan ko pa kaya ito ng anak?’ Hahaha!”
In an exclusive interview with Korina Sanchez for Rated K aired this Sunday, September 18, Rufa Mae revealed that her pregnancy is in a delicate stage.
She said, “Sensitibo nga. Nag-spotting ako nung second month ko. Na-ospital ako ng apat na araw.
“Kasi nga tumakbo ako. Hindi ko naman alam na bawal gumalaw pag buntis ka.”
The sexy comedienne added that she was advised by her doctor to take it easy.
“Kailangan lahat dahan-dahan lang. Hindi ka na nga puwede yumuko basta, e. Kailangan may poise na.”
Rufa Mae also related that she often feels exhausted because of her condition.
She said, “Umiiyak nga ako sa kanya. Sabi ko, ‘Grabe I had hangovers, ha.’ Pagsama-samahin mo na lahat ng hangover. I’ve never felt this tired.”
But despite her difficulties, Rufa Mae maintained that she’s excited to be a first-time mom.
“Ito yung moment na araw-araw wala kang emptiness ever. Kasi parang alam mo na may kasama ka lumaki, e.
“Kahit na mawala ka nang gagawin, kayong dalawa lang, puwede mo siya kausapin, ‘Hello there, anak!”
As pregnant women always say, all the difficulties are worth the blessing of having a baby.
Rufa Mae concluded, “Siguro ito yung umpisa ng todo [blessings]. When it rains it pours…Happy ending!”
