After wrapping up her last night hosting Lipsync Battle Philippines, Iya proceeded to enjoy some well-deserved “me time”, starting with a hair trim.
“Officially on maternity leave!!!,” the actress said of a video she shared on her Instagram account. In the video, Iya is seen getting her hair washed in a salon.
“Approaching d-day so taking the time now to get a trim to keep whatever freshness I can during labor,” she also said.
The actress and TV host is due to give birth soon, and is preparing for months of sleepless nights and busy days as she cares for her first baby.
“I’ve accepted that #Primo will be keeping me busy for the next couple of months so availing of the ME time before I push this watermelon out!” Iya also captioned the video.
And judging by little Primo’s movements, Iya is sure to have a super active baby! The ever funny mom-to-be couldn’t help but pan the camera to her burgeoning belly, which was moving in waves as baby Primo moved inside.
“Oh my goodness! What’s he doing in there?” Iya said in the video.
“The boy is still in my belly but already wants all of my attention…I wonder what he’s doing in there?” Iya further shared.

With her due date just around the corner, Iya has been busy prepping for her baby’s arrival over the past few weeks. In fact, the excited mom already has milk and food storage bags, waist trainers, and her labor kit ready for the big day.
Here are a few photos of what Iya’s been up to lately:
For mom and baby

The labor kit
Always the gym bunny, Iya hopes to squeeze in a workout while in the hospital. Of course we’re never quite sure when Iya is joking or dead serious. But we’re sure she knows what she’s doing.
In the photo below, Iya shared the contents of her labor kit, explaining that the gym ball is missing from the photo. She included the hashtag “#WorkoutSaHospital”.

Shopping for baby
Iya recently went on a shopping spree for baby Primo. In the photo, which Iya shared on Instagram, the glowing mom-to-be strikes a funny guilty pose with a finger in her mouth as she admits that having a baby takes a lot of money.
