Singer and actress Son Dam-bi expressed her grievances as a pregnant woman.
On the 26th, a video titled "Q&A for solving curiosity (emotional warning)" was uploaded to the 'Dam-bi-son' channel.
On that day, Son Dam-bi took the time to directly answer questions sent by subscribers. When asked how to enjoy dating before giving birth, she said, "Don't you often go on prenatal trips with your husband before giving birth? But I can't actually go on prenatal trips abroad because I have a placenta previa. The reason is that I could bleed and for emergency readiness. I have thought a lot about prenatal trips. In fact, my personality is such that I don't need to go. Still, it can be frustrating, can't it? For a pregnant woman. I feel that if there are places where you can feel the natural air in regions somewhat far from our country, there are many good places in Korea as well, and I have felt that a lot while traveling."
She noted, "You all have worried so much about me having gestational diabetes, but fortunately, it seems I do not have it. I feel that I need to control my diet a little. I think tofu and avocado are really good foods for pregnant women, so I eat salads. If I eat tofu and avocado first for protein and then have a slice of whole grain bread, I feel full and have no swelling. I know this from experience. I think having a simple breakfast would be great."
She continued, "I think a good gift for pregnant women would be a massage. It differs for each person's body shape, but I don't swell much. I tend to get massages regularly. If you think you need to give yourself a gift, consider asking your husbands to give massages to help with lymph circulation; I think they would gift that."
Regarding the emotional changes as a pregnant woman, she said, "I am going through a special journey for 10 months. There are many challenges that pregnant women face. Pregnancy lines appear, pigmentation occurs, and it's not an easy journey. Due to hormones and other factors, there are many ups and downs. But I can say without a doubt, the time when I had no emotional fluctuations was when I was pregnant. Since I have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, I have lived a life filled with ups and downs. But after getting married and being pregnant, there's really nothing turbulent."
Son Dam-bi emphasized, "The role of the husband is really important in easing emotional fluctuations. If they don't empathize and don't understand this, they won't know. My brother always says that. Isn't my belly sticking out? Looking at my protruding belly, he always says it's pretty and cute. Because of these comments, I haven't had a moment to be depressed. Husbands really need to do well because they know it's for a lifetime, right? I think husbands really need to do well."
On the subject of snacks for pregnant women, she said, "I really crave sweet things now. I didn't used to have this craving. After the gestational diabetes test retest, I asked my doctor, and they said zero-calorie chocolate doesn't help. No matter how much I eat, (sugar) rises the same. I got caught up in that belief and ate one at a time. But after hearing that from the doctor, my brother is eating it. They just said to eat three full meals. Korean food. Even if they say snacks have no sugar, they actually do. I recommend not eating them."
She added, "You seem curious about prenatal education, but I don't do it at all. I try to avoid stress as much as possible and make an effort to laugh more in every situation. I think my laughter gets transmitted to the baby, so I believe that living my daily life happily is my form of prenatal education."
In addition, regarding how to manage after pregnancy, Son Dam-bi said, "The most I have to do is exercise, but the exercise content has flown away. But don't be scared. For all mothers preparing for pregnancy, this is an unavoidable phenomenon that happens to mothers, and it will all return. However, there are ways to manage it. For those who don't have issues like placenta previa, I highly recommend massages and exercise. Doing these can help reduce pigmentation significantly. But this too shall pass," she advised. She also hinted that she would definitely do content on "Childbirth and Parenting" in the future, raising anticipation.
