Ynna Asistio revealed that she is now a mom, as she gave the public a first glimpse of baby Ava Zafina, her first child with her husband Bully Carbonell.
The actress introduced baby Ava while showing photos of the newborn on her Instagram page yesterday, Nov. 3. Baby Ava was born via normal delivery at the Dr. Jesus C. Delgado Memorial Hospital last Oct. 26.
“Few weeks ago, I got confined due to pre-term labor and was on strict bed rest for almost [two] weeks, then on [Oct.] 25 my bag raptured and I was in labor for 15 hours!” Asistio narrated.
Asistio described her experience with childbirth as “life changing,” and something that made her realize how amazing it is to be a mother.
“[All] the pain and contractions and IE (internal exam) was all worth it! First time I saw you, baby, nawala lahat ng pain (all the pain went away). [You] came so early pero ang perfect ng timing mo (but your timing is perfect)!” she told her baby.
Asistio noted that baby Ava had to stay in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit for a week before she and Carbonell could welcome their daughter home.
Fellow celebrities who sent congratulatory greetings to Asistio included Iza Calzado, Glaiza de Castro and Carla Abellana.
Asistio and Carbonell tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last August. It was in the same month that the actress confirmed she was pregnant with their first child. /ra
