"Sinabihan na lang ako ng Doula ko na anytime I would have to go to the operating room for surgery," she said, adding that the one of her doctors was able to reposition her uterus successfully.
Maja announced her pregnancy with Rambo Nuñez's baby in December through a festive Christmas-themed video where they displayed a sonogram on the Christmas tree.

"Funny as it may seem, but I still get those butterflies [every time] I see double lines on the [pregnancy test], kahit pa na ang dami na nila, parang laging [first] time. [Iba't ibang] level ng overwhelming emotions each stage of every pregnancy. Ibang level din when you can already see and hear the heartbeat. Iba lang talaga ang peace and joy pag galing kay God," she said.
Kristine and Oyo have five other children: their oldest, Kiel, who was adopted, as well as Ondrea, Kaleb, Marvin, and Vittorio Isaac. The couple welcomed their youngest, Vittorio, in August 2021.

It was in July when she shared the good news by posting a series of photos from their trip to the Bahamas with the caption: "Stingrays, turtles, pigs and a bump."
Miguel, for his part, called Yam his "dream come true," expressing his excitement for all their "future adventures" as a couple.

You are so deeply loved, my little one," she said.
