Di kami makapag-celebrate unlike yung unang positive test. Itong 3rd positive test parang nandyan lang sya. Kinakabahan na baka mawala ulit pero siyempre nandyan ang pagtitiwala na ibibigay ng Diyos ang makakabuti para sa amin,” she added.</p><div> </div><p>Despite their fears, the couple&#x27;s third pregnancy progressed successfully, giving them countless reasons to be grateful.</p><div> </div><p>“Ang dami naming pinagpapasalamat sa Diyos. Isa doon ay kahit na high risk pregnancy, nakapag-normal delivery pa rin, sa tulong at awa Niya,” she expressed.</p><div> </div><p>Reflecting on their experience, the actress shared a message of faith and acceptance, adding, “Hindi natin hawak lahat ng bagay. Wala tayong control sa lahat. Aside from ginagawa natin ang best natin, maganda rin na mag-pray at maging panatag na mangyayari ang mabuti para sa’tin. ♥️”</p><div> </div><p>Alongside her message, Ritz posted a compilation of photos and videos documenting her pregnancy. The clips showed how carefully she and Allan navigated the past several months as they awaited the arrival of their child.</p><div> </div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DT6wVQigQG-/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A9624017.099999905%2C%22ls%22%3A1914980.3000001907%2C%22le%22%3A1914987.5999999046%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1057" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" 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>During her pregnancy, Ritz also discovered that she had Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome (APAS), a condition she learned about after experiencing contractions and bleeding.</p><div> </div><p>According to the Mayo Clinic, APAS is a disorder in which the immune system mistakenly produces antibodies that attack the body&#x27;s tissues. The condition can lead to blood clots in arteries and veins and may increase the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth.</p><div> </div><p>To manage the condition, Ritz underwent lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) throughout her pregnancy until she gave birth. According to The Fertility Academy, LIT is a specialized and experimental treatment that involves injecting processed white blood cells from a partner or donor to help the immune system better accept a pregnancy.</p><div> </div><p>Although she faced challenges during the final weeks of her pregnancy, Ritz successfully gave birth to their child, whom they affectionately call Zie.</p><div> </div><p>“Hi, everyone! 1 month na ako. 🥰 1 month na ring walang complete sleep parents ko pero narinig ko sabi nila masaya naman daw sila. (Kita nyo yung last 2 photos? 😂) 😄 ayun lang. gusto ko lang kayong i-update. 🫶🏽 -Zie 👶🏻,” she said.</p><div> </div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DY_vog5AV0s/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A9624022.80000019%2C%22ls%22%3A1914980.3000001907%2C%22le%22%3A1914987.5999999046%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1086" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" 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><strong> </strong></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/5/12/look-ritz-azul-welcomes-first-child-baby-guy-1855" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Ritz Azul welcomes first child ‘Baby Guy’</strong></a></div><div><strong> </strong></div><p>Ritz and Allan tied the knot in November 2021 in Baguio City before holding a second wedding in Palawan the following month.</p><div> </div><p>In January this year, the couple shared a gender reveal video, announcing that they were expecting a baby after four years of trying.</p><div> </div>
