I highly recommend them for all expectant mamas! 🥹,” she stated.</p><div> </div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2017/2/9/fresh-scoops/emmanuelle-vera-wants-to-work-with-jadine-and-liza-53109" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Emmanuelle Vera wants to work with JaDine and Liza Soberano</strong></a></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMz2iIcRBFr/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=581&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A529306%2C%22ls%22%3A401703%2C%22le%22%3A402124%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1013" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong> </strong></div><p>Friends from the entertainment and pageant world flooded the comments section with well-wishes and support for the first-time mom.</p><div> </div><p>“God is so good!!!
