MANILA, Philippines - Cristine Reyes confirmed reports that she had a premature delivery with her daughter Amarah, who was born last February 8.
"She came a little too early than expected and now in need of critical care and assistance. It's hard to see her handled by different people in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit)," she said in her post on Instagram on Friday.
Cristine is hurting to see the situation of her child, and was more hurt about the people's comments, saying that what happened to her child is her fault.
"I just don't think it's fair when people judge me and saying that it was my fault," she said. "We've been fighting for our little angel and now she has to fight this alone. If it were in my hands, I'd love for my daughter to reach full term."
"I did everything to make sure that she was healthy. I read books, seek advice from my in-laws, family, friends and professionals to make sure all was well," she added.
Cristine was hospitalized on February 5, and was on heavy medication during her birthday. She was even in and out of the delivery room.
"But then, time has come that Amarah wanted to see the world, in which, none can control," she said.
Despite that, The Kapamilya actress is ecstatic after her first child with Ali Khatibi was born. She's just happy to see her baby girl slowly recovering.
"She's our wonderful blessing. She will win this battle like a champ just like her father. My family and friends will be praying for our Amarah. Her Dad and I loves her so much!" she ended her post.
