Mariel certainly looks happy and contented in the photo as she sports that undeniable pregnancy glow.
But the soon-to-be-mom has to go through a painful routine everyday to keep her pregnancy healthy.
According to Padilla, his wife's thighs are black and blue from the daily injections that prevent Rodriguez from miscarrying a third time.
“Buong hita niya puro pasa dahil, hindi naman dahil sa adik, pero kailangan niyang magsaksak ng heparin dalawang beses sa isang araw. Bukod pa sa sinasaksak niyang insulin (Her entire thigh is covered with bruises, not because she is an addict, but because she needs to inject heparin twice a day. This is aside from the insulin that is also injected.”), Padilla said.

“So, hindi madali ang pinagdadaanan ni Mariel, ang isinasakripisyo niya para sa bata. (What she is going through is not easy, what she is sacrificing for the child.”), he added.
Rodriguez's body simply does not recognize the baby as a fetus, attacking it instead as a foreign body that needs to be expelled. The actress also has gestational diabetes.
Rodriguez miscarried twice before, but feels confident that this is it.
