"I am having a difficult pregnancy this time around. My doctor diagnosed our condition with threatened abortion because I've been contracting on almost a daily basis, while having my trans-v ultrasound, doctor said I was contracting but I couldn't feel it. Because of this I was asked to be on bed rest and take some medications," she said.

Because of this, Garcia is cancelling all her Kalinga ni Nanay parenting classes for December and January. She hopes to resume giving classes in February.

On the positive side, she said she appreciates her husband and daughter Mori "even more now that I am carrying another baby."

"Both has been very understanding of what I am going through. Even my 2-year-old started being patient with me. I hear her talking to her doll, how they must keep their voices down so I could rest," she related.

Garcia also thanked God for her new pregnancy, noting that she had always wanted a large family.

"Dalawa na sila, tatlong chikiting na lang po! We appreciate all those who are praying for the good health of our second child. Maraming salamat po!" she added.
