Spy Kids' Alexa PenaVega has been showing the progression of her pregnancy with her first daughter Rio on Instagram. She expresses excitement and joy of being a parent alongside her husband Carlos PenaVega with a girl for the first time.
Having raised two young boys, they know their way of dealing with the ups and downs, so raising their daughter will be a challenge. Alexa might be happily anticipating seeing her daughter, she shows the two sides of her pregnancy, with one leg being heavily affected.
As she wrote in her Instagram caption, "One side is beautiful and awesome and exciting. The other side has been painful, exhausting and rough." What Alexa is going through right now is called birth varicose veins. It causes stress on her leg, resulting in heaviness or pain in the leg.
Thankfully, it's not permanent, as it takes about three to four months after the pregnancy ends for the veins to go away. As Alexa states, she remains positive and excited for the arrival of Rio and follows the saying that the good outweighs the bad. She is certainly a strong mother and it will be a blessed day whenever her daughter arrives in the world this summer.
