First-time mother Kris Bernal is opening up about her pregnancy.

The actress, 33, sat down with PUSH Bets Live! to talk about her pregnancy journey as she expects her first baby with husband Perry Choi.

“I’m good. Everything’s well naman, thank God. Right now, our prayer na lang talaga is to have a healthy baby. Up until my 17 weeks, I’m still experiencing some symptoms of pregnancy but somehow it’s subsiding na. So somehow my energy is back compared to the first trimester. Pwede na [ulit] magtrabaho,” she said.

Kris said it was during her first trimester that was the most challenging for her. “I was almost [on] bedrest and talagang I just feel exhausted and tired every single day. So talagang kudos to all moms out there,” she said.

Now 17 weeks pregnant, Kris opened up about how pregnancy has changed her body and perspective in life.

“Grabe, I didn’t expect the drastic changes na mangyayari sa katawan ko, not just sa katawan ko pero sa lifestyle ko,” she said. “Everything changed talaga. You know, I used to be a fitness addict. I’m used to having a flat tummy, talagang muscles and toned. Almost every day I work out. Ngayon talagang nagbago.”

The actress admitted that she became less vain after her pregnancy.

“Not just physical eh. … Pero sa lifestyle din, I realized that I became less vain,” she said. “Mas nakatutok ako doon sa health ng baby. I’m after that more than myself. Nagulat ako. Kilala ko sarili ko eh. Siguro dahil nga nasa showbiz ako, all I think about is myself all the time. Even nung nag-asawa ako, it should always be me. But then ngayon, nagbago ‘yung priorities ko.”

Asked which gender she prefers for her baby, Kris said she wishes to have a girl version of her husband.

“Ako naman siyempre any ako, ‘di ba. Siyempre it’s my child. So whether it’s a boy or a girl, mamahalin ko ‘to. Pero dahil lahat ng pamangkin ko puro lalaki, then sa side din ni Perry halos lahat lalaki… si Perry wala siyang sister. So both kami, sana maging girl. I want a girl version of Perry eh,” she said.

Despite the challenges that come with pregnancy, Kris said she wants to have more babies with Perry.

“At first parang gusto ko isa lang. Pero ngayon na… ang sarap pala ng feeling na ganito. Na you’re growing a human inside your body. Parang everything’s like a miracle to me. So gusto ko, mga dalawa, tatlo siguro,” she said.
