Katarina Rodriguez: “Clara gave me my dream hospital birth experience”
KATARINA RODRIGUEZ – The former Miss World Philippines titleholder shared the birth story after giving birth to her second child.
It was last February when she announced on her social media account that she and her longtime partner Niño Barbers welcomed their second child Clara Amal Rodriguez Barbers last January 29, 2023.
Katarina recently posted a series of photos on her social media account along with a two-part birth story of her daughter.
In the first part, she said that she and her partner were having a dinner with their friends near their condo when she suddenly felt a “somewhat intense contraction” on the eve of January 29, 2023. She shared that she was already 41 weeks and 2 days pregnant at that point.
“I had anxiety through the roof the entire month & really just wanted to get her out (naturally as much as possible),” she explained.
Katarina also said that she refused to be induced since she was having on and off contractions for a few days already, but she also thought nothing of the contraction at that time.

According to her, she and her partner got to the hospital at around 9:10 p.m. of January 29 and “it felt like something was going to come out” of her at that point.
In the second part of the birth story, she shared that she gave birth to baby Clara at exactly 9:55 pm of January 29, 2023. She shared that it took “one long, slow contraction and 3 pushes (together with one long, roller coaster scream)” before her baby came out.
“This girl was a long baby and was born 7 lbs 12 oz.,” Katarina shared. “She led the way the entire labor and was good to me. Every prayer I had was answered. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
The beauty queen also said that things could have been scary if she and her partner were even 2 minutes late to the hospital. She went on to share that her daughter gave her a “dream hospital birth experience”.
