Miriam Quiambao is one of the few women who are greatly looked up to by others. Miriam started as a beauty queen and was even crowned as Miss Universe 1999 1st Runner Up. She then became popular and turned into a TV host, actress, and model. Now, she is known as an author and an inspirational speaker together with her husband, Eduardo “Ardy” Roberto Jr.
Recently, she became the talk of the town for her pregnancy with her second son at the age of 45. She shared her whole experience especially the challenges of being pregnant with her miracle baby, Ezekiel Isiah or Baby Ziki. Now, she shares yet again another challenge after giving birth. On Instagram, she posted a photo of herself in a lot of pain. According to her, Elijah, her eldest son accidentally elbowed her breast.
Later that evening, she immediately contacted her OB-GYN as she was already suffering from fever and her breasts became engorged and sore. Her OB-GYN accordingly prescribed her with the necessary medications. However, she couldn’t help but wince and tear-up in pain while she is breastfeeding Baby Ziki to help drain the blocked duct.
Fortunately, she is now feeling better.
