Laureen Uy is pregnant with her first child: 'Most incredible feeling'
Laureen Uy is going to be a mom!
The content creator announced the good news alongside her husband Miggy Cruz in a new vlog posted on her YouTube channel.
"We're so happy that we're finally pregnant," Laureen gushed just as Miggy brought out pictures of their baby's ultrasound.
"It's the best news ever," Miggy said, with Laureen adding that it's the "most incredible feeling."
While the couple admitted that they can't help but get nervous and anxious about taking the first step towards parenthood, they acknowledged that these feelings are only normal during the journey.
"I'm already 14 weeks pregnant. We kept it to ourselves and our closest friends and family members lang muna until we were ready to share it with the world," Laureen said.
The YouTuber shared that she found out she was expecting sometime after they got back to the Philippines from their trip to Mallorca, Spain.
"I think I was already pregnant then, but I didn't know. Because I was still eating sushi, I was walking so many steps a day. I think we also had one night where we went out and everything was fine, except for the last night where I puked, but I thought I was just too full, or maybe acid reflux lang siya," she said.
"Everything was normal, except for the fact that I was just always tired, I would always be so sleepy. So, when we got back here in Manila, I went to the drugstore and I took a pregnancy test twice," she continued.
Laureen then showed a clip of herself reacting to the result of her test, and when she found out it was positive, she couldn't help but get emotional.
"When I found out, I wanted to tell Miggy right away. Walang pasikot-sikot, I know kanya-kanyang surprise 'yun or parang way of telling your husband, but I think for me, I just wanted to tell him right away. So I thought of the quickest surprise to give him, which was to write on the shirt that says 'preggers,'" she recalled.
Once Miggy learned that he was going to be a dad, the two shared a tight embrace.
"I was stunned, I was shocked. To be honest, I think this is what we've both been wanting since we got married. For me personally, I wanted to get married because I felt that I wanted to start a family with you," he told his wife.
"It was an overwhelming feeling na parang gustong sumabog ng katawan ko. But at the same time, I was trying to keep it together," he added.
According to their doctor, their bundle of joy is a "super healthy growing baby."
Laureen and Miggy have been together since 2016. Miggy popped the question to his partner at the Joshua Tree National Park in California in May 2023.
They tied the knot in a dreamy beach wedding in Palawan in April earlier this year that was attended by their close friends and family.
