Pérola Faria gave birth to Joaquim, her first child, on Wednesday evening (10) at the Casa de Saúde Santa Lúcia in Rio de Janeiro. It was after a fear caused by a health condition. She, who is also engaged to actor Mario Bregieira, the baby’s father, is very happy. But he says he had to bring the birth forward because of the illness.
— I had to terminate the pregnancy at 38 weeks because I developed gestational cholestasis. It’s kind of scary to read (the explanations of the disease) on Google, but it was important for me to do some quick research. The condition remained under control and I went to the hospital for monitoring two days earlier,” he explains.
Pregnancy cholestasis is a disease in which the bile produced in the liver is not released into the intestines to participate in the process of fat digestion and eventually accumulates in the body. After the shock, the baby was born healthy and the mother is fine:
— I thought it was important to talk about this case because the symptoms can go unnoticed. If the picture becomes complicated, the harm to the baby will be irreversible.
Joaquim was born weighing 2.9 kg and 47 cm. The actress posed alongside her son and fiancé for the column after giving birth:
— Thanks to Mario, very present, to my super attentive obstetrician Dr. Marcos and my hepatologist identified us quickly and took care of everything so that we can now be healthy and full of anticipation for this new life here.
