"Pancho has been accepted into a regular school!!!🥲🫶🏻 It was recommended by his neurodevelopmental pediatrician that he surround himself with his peers and go to school," she posted last July.

Saab admitted that she had her hesitations at first if it was a good idea, saying,  "As a mom with birthing trauma, I was skeptical and I thought of all the excuses for him to just stay home. 'I almost lost him. Absolutely not.' ' He’ll be safe if he’s just at home.' 'What if something happens and I’m not there?'"  

The content creator shared that parents with birthing trauma have a hard time sending their children to school.

"Sometimes we can even get competitive with the teachers 🥲 It’s been a struggle but I know in my heart this is what’s good for Pancho. This is good for me and Jim (Bacarro, her husband), too," she stated.  

She continued: "I started out skeptical, now I’m excited. Pls pray that his first year of schooling goes well 💖 🙏 Also praying for Cheng who will be accompanying him everyday in school 🫶🏻 Thank you, virtual ninangs and ninongs!"
