On March 30, 2023, Iza took fans back to the moment when the reality of being a mom has truly hit her.
Via an Instagram post, she wrote, "This photo was taken a few days after giving birth, right after I cried so hard from a few “failures” I felt I had as a new mother mixed with the deep love I was feeling for my child, the kind I have never felt for anyone before.
Iza furthered, "It’s quite a punch, the first few days, weeks post birth. Hindi siya madali.
"I am still recovering from it all but every day gets better and better.
"I am on my ninth week post partum and we are a few weeks away from completing the fourth trimester.
"This is, by far, the most challenging yet fulfilling journey I have been on and I know it is only the beginning."

"I will be sharing some of the challenges, the precious, joyfilled moments and the grace in all of it when the time is right. [emoji]
