Pregnancy and Beyond: Helping Build Mommy Confidence

Expecting moms can prepare for motherhood the best way they can when they learn straight from the experts. With Pregnancy & Beyond 2018 kicking off its second leg at Makati Medical Center last July 21, 2018, moms attended talks about Pre-Natal Checkups & Pregnancy FAQs, Right Nutrition for Mommy and Baby, and Breastfeeding 101. Through the series, Makati Medical Center hopes to help new parents build confidence about the exciting journey they have ahead.

While pregnant, moms eat for two. After giving birth, moms still eat for two. A nutritious diet will give the baby nutrients that will promote his or her growth and health. Dr. Annebelle D. Aherrera talked about the Right Nutrition for Mommy and Baby, passing on information that will really help mom eat well and stay healthy.

Breastfeeding 101

Once baby is out, precious breastmilk will be his or her primary source of nutrition. Breastfeeding will have its successes and challenges. Dr. Teresa Maria T. Ribaño helped prepare moms for what’s ahead with a talk entitled Breastfeeding 101.

We are heartbroken over the loss of our dear frien We are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend who was an active part of our momfluencer community, Marycor — known to many of us as @proud_inay. 🤍

Marycor was a ray of sunshine — always smiling, always showing up with love and support for fellow moms. She shared her motherhood journey with so much honesty and heart, reminding us that there is beauty even in the struggles.

In every message, every post, and every kind word, she made our community feel more connected and more inspired.

We send our deepest love to her family. You will always be with us, Marycor. 🕊️🤍

Her wake will be held at Loyola Memorial Park, Sucat, from May 22 - 24 (Thursday to Saturday).
There’s something truly special about meeting th There’s something truly special about meeting the authors behind the stories we love—and at Expo Mom: The MOMentous Fair, we were honored to have a group of inspiring Filipino children’s book authors who brought magic, meaning, and imagination to our community. 💖📚

Through their words and presence, they reminded us of the power of stories to shape young minds, spark curiosity, and nurture empathy. ✨

📚 Anya Santos-Uy (@ankpublishing), known for her work in environmental education and children’s literature, signed copies of Alpabeto ng Kalikasan—a vibrant introduction to Philippine biodiversity through the modern Filipino alphabet and Baybayin script.

📚 Robyn Chua Rodriguez (@robynchuar), a strong advocate for inclusive storytelling, shared her bilingual book When My Friend Smiles, which encourages empathy and celebrates differences through the journey of two young friends.

📚 Zarah C. Gagatiga (@zarahgeeh), a librarian and storyteller with a rich contribution to children’s literature, brought along Filipino Folktales for Children, a collection of timeless tales that pass on the wisdom and magic of our cultural heritage.

📖 Paula Castro (@mspaulajoan) launched her latest book Just Not Today, and read it aloud with heartfelt reflections on its message—a gentle reminder to children (and adults!) that it’s okay to pause, feel, and care for ourselves.

Thank you, Anya, Robyn, Zarah, and Paula, for sharing your voices, stories, and hearts with us at Expo Mom. 💖

It’s week 16 of our #yearofconnection ! Don’t It’s week 16 of our #yearofconnection ! Don’t forget to take time for a fun Connection Question convo with the fam this weekend! ❤️✨

We’re aiming to make 2025 a year of Connection through our weekly activity.
 
The best time to have these casual discussions would be when in relax mode with your children. Sit together, (set aside the gadgets!) remove possible distractions, and be present ✨❤️ Take turns asking each other this question for week 6! Just listen and simply acknowledge the sharing.:) 

Even if tempted to dish out advice or to react, this isnt the time for that. Allow for a safe space, and connections will flow and follow.🫶🏻🙏🏼 

Most importantly, enjoy this time together! 

…

Join us weekly for this activity and after 50 questions, we will end the year more connected and attuned with ourselves and each other. If you just heard about this now, check out our highlights to get started! ✨
