As Andi Eigenmann approaches week 39 of her second pregnancy, she admitted that her condition is not ideal for giving birth via vaginal birth after c-section (VBAC).
Eigenmann thus plans to focus on being more disciplined, to ensure quick recovery after giving birth, as stated on her Instagram account yesterday, July 21.
“Baby has been goin lower by the week according to my doctor. Such good news to hear but my situation still [isn’t] ideal enough to be so sure of achieving my VBAC dreamz (same reason I went through a [cesarean section] with Ellie in the past.),” Eigenmann said.
The actress confessed she feels “devastated” about not giving birth via VBAC, despite it being her top priority.
“At the beginning of my second pregnancy, I became more aware of what I wanted for myself (and baby) and a VBAC + going as natural as possible was definitely the top priority,” Eigenmann said. “Honestly, I knew [I’d] be devastated if I [couldn’t] go for one.”
“But as my pregnancy is nearing its end, all that matters to me is that I go through the best (safest) way to deliver baby into this world,” she added.
Despite not fulfilling her goal, Eigenmann is proud of herself for taking care of her health. She looks forward to being more disciplined, to recover immediately after giving birth.
“Getting back into my daily habits of living healthy and clean ASAP is enough motivation [especially] because this time I will be having a new little ray of sunshine to raise and nurture,” she said..
Eigenmann confirmed her second pregnancy last February. JB
