Kris Bernal has always been *transparent* about her pregnancy journey, often sharing updates about her growing baby bump and being real about the insecurities she feels with her changing body.
“I’ll be honest: I don’t always feel attractive while I’m pregnant,” she said in an Instagram post. “Most days I’m more like a turtle on its back trying to get back on its feet - always in a slow pace, gets tired easily, feels big/bloated, and all those insecurities that just any pregnant [woman goes] through.”
In a recent post, the StarStruck alum also posted a playful video seemingly reminiscing about her pre-pregnancy figure.

While the actress simply wanted to share her honest feelings, netizens couldn’t help but leave rude comments on her post, with some of them even claiming that she regrets getting pregnant.
“Blessing yan. Parang pinagsisihan mo?” one comment reads.
“Blessing po yan, wag po mag-inarte,” says another.
Kris had the classiest response. “Read the caption po. Blessed for the miracle of life, for what my body is doing, and loving my bump in this season which means my baby is growing!” she says. “It doesn't make you a bad mama or ungrateful to have feelings that aren't always sunshine and rainbows!”
Other moms expressed their support for the actress, saying that what she’s currently feeling is completely valid.
“Some moms [don’t] like the feeling of being pregnant and it's okay and also normal. I went through the same, before I got pregnant akala ko din it’s always magical but it's not! Parang you love and hate it at the same time (the changes in our body, not the baby mismo).”
You look absolutely beautiful, Kris!
