In an interview on ABS-CBN’s magazine show Rated K aired Sun, Sep 18, Rufa Mae said that she was already 17 weeks pregnant. She added that she is having a “delicate pregnancy.”

“Sensitibo nga. Nag-spotting ako nung second month ko. Na-ospital ako ng apat na araw. Kasi nga tumakbo ako. Hindi ko naman alam na bawal gumalaw pag buntis ka.”

(I had spotting during my second month. I was hospitalized for four days… I didn’t know you shouldn’t move when you’re pregnant.)

Rufa Mae, 38, admitted that she feared she would no longer be able to carry a child at her age. 

She is set to marry her Fil-Am fiancé Trevor Magallanes.

“Siyempre, ninerbiyos din ako kung mabibigyan ko talaga siya ng family kasi yung age ko, di ba, 38 years old? So, sabi ko, ‘Mabibigyan ko pa kaya ito ng anak?’,” she quipped.

(Of course, I was nervous if I can still give him a family at my age. I asked myself, ‘I can still give him a child?)

But she also feels blessed. “Ito yung moment na araw-araw wala kang emptiness ever.  

(This is the moment that everyday you don’t feel emptiness ever.)

Congratulations again, Rufa Mae!
