TV host and actress Jolina Magdangal took it to Instagram to give her followers some updates regarding her pregnancy.
Magdangal first announced that she is pregnant with her second child with husband Mark Escueta last November 2017.
She then announced a few months after that they are expecting a baby girl.
Six months after announcing her pregnancy, Magdangal posted on her Instagram account a photo of her while having her ultrasound.
The actress said that her daughter, whom she called Vika, is doing fine even though she has been suffering from gestational diabetes.
According to Mayo Clinic’s website, gestational diabetes is “developed during pregnancy. Just like any other types of diabetes, it affects how an expectant woman’s cells use sugar. Gestational diabetes causes high blood sugar that can affect your pregnancy and your baby’s health.”
Magdangal said that it is difficult on her part because even though she is trying to be mindful of the food she is eating, her gestational diabetes is still affecting her baby.
“Nagpa-ultrasound ako today, ok naman si Vika. Medyo lagpas lang ng konti ang weight niya para sa age niya ngayon. Hirap din ng may gestational diabetes, kahit kontrolado mo na ang pagkain, di mo parin masabi yung effect sa baby. Medyo nababahala ako,” Magdangal wrote.
In the comments section, Magdangal’s followers sent her well wishes.
