Sheena Halili celebrates successful VBAC: ‘Forever grateful for this birth story’

Sheena Halili is celebrating a special milestone in her motherhood journey after successfully giving birth to her third child through VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean).

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the StarStruck alumna shared a “hospital photo dump” following her successful VBAC.

“Ang saya ng mama heart ko na natuloy ang birth plan ko this time,” she wrote.

“After an emergency C-section with my second baby because he was sooo big, thank You, Jesus, for giving me the chance to have a successful #VBAC,” she shared.

Sheena revealed that one of the reasons she wanted to have a VBAC was to “recover faster” because she still has two other kids who need her time and presence.

“Sila inspiration ko to keep pushing,” she said.

She also thanked her OB and Ninang for “believing in me and giving me the courage to believe in myself too.”

“Sa totoo lang, I don’t think I would’ve been this confident if it wasn’t you doing the procedure. Alam ko I was in good hands,” she expressed.

At the end of her post, Sheena took the time to express her appreciation to her husband, Jeron Manzanero.

“And to my husband, thank you for being with me from day one hanggang sa dulo. For staying by my side, encouraging me, and being my constant through it all,” she said.

Sheena then playfully joked, “Isa pa?”

“Forever grateful for this birth story,” she concluded.

Sheena and Jeron welcomed their third child on September 7. They welcomed their firstborn, Martina, in December 2020, and their second child, Jio, in August 2024.
