Pokwang thanked her follow- ers on social media for praying for the health of her unborn baby.  The 44-year-old comedienne yesterday uploaded a photo on In- stagram showing her beside a so- nogram machine. She captioned it with: “Hello baby O’ Brian ha- hahhaha first picture nya thank you sa lahat ng mga dasal nyo para matupad ito, at sa patuloy nyo pang dasal para ligtas si baby o’brian at tuluyan na sya mangulit sa February dito sa earth. Salamat nang marami.... At dahil buntis ako bawal ka muna sa bahay @ hot_chokoleit at iwas din ako sa sarili ko haahahaa. [sic]”  A smiling Lee O’Brian, the baby’s dad, and an unidentified woman, presumably Pokwang’s obstetrician-gynecologist, were also in the photo.  Pokwang, who has a grown daughter from a previous relation- ship, has a history of miscarriage. Two years ago, she and O’Brien lost their unborn baby.● - Malaya
