Comedian Im Lala shared her experience of fainting due to severe morning sickness during her twin pregnancy.
On the 11th, a video titled "250 million couple YouTuber No. 1 'Enjoy Couple' first reveal of their newlywed home (pregnancy know-how, frozen eggs)" was uploaded on the channel 'Not a Bad Attention-Seeker.'
On that day, Lee Ji-hye visited the home of Im Lala and Son Min-soo, who recently announced their twin pregnancy, along with her husband Moon Jae-wan. When Im Lala, who revealed she is currently 18 weeks pregnant, mentioned, "I once had a high fever during my second pregnancy. I had to take medicine, but I was worried about its effect on the baby. I couldn't take anything during my first pregnancy. I endured without medication, even if it was hard to digest, just trying to manage with persimmon vinegar. But during my second, I thought, 'I can't go that far' because I had experienced it once. But every moment feels like it returns. What should I do in this situation?" she recalled her experience.
In response, Son Min-soo said, "We're exactly at that stage. Despite being safe morning sickness medication, I don't take it," and Lee Ji-hye empathized, saying, "It feels uncertain. I felt the same way."
Im Lala shared, "I tried to endure as much as possible, but with twins, it was impossible. I fainted from morning sickness. I couldn't breathe. I kept throwing up. On the day I fainted due to morning sickness, I was continuously vomiting in the bathroom, which led to low blood pressure. When I fainted, I thought, 'What if I can't send oxygen to the twins?' So I opened the door and crawled out to faint. I crawled almost like a battlefield to here, called 'Min-soo,' and then fainted," leaving everyone surprised.
Son Min-soo reminisced, "Lala fainted without a stitch on," and Im Lala explained, "I threw up while showering." Son Min-soo shared, "I panicked. At first, I froze because I was so flustered," and Im Lala added, "It was the first time for me. Thankfully, my mother was at home. She had been through morning sickness and knew the situation, so she came in and said, 'Open your eyes.' Then, she brought a towel and covered my important area because I was in such a state in front of my husband. My mom said, 'It's okay. Quickly rub her. I think she has low blood pressure.' Min-soo rubbed my back for two hours. Just as I was regaining consciousness, I suddenly heard a yawn sound," bringing laughter.
Then Son Min-soo said, "While it was happening, I yawned, and at that moment, our eyes met," and Lee Ji-hye commented, "It's impressive that he massaged for two hours. Even massage therapists get tired after more than 70 minutes. Even professionals get tired," supporting him. Im Lala explained, "I didn't realize how much time had passed. The moment I opened my eyes, I asked him, 'Are you sleepy?'"
Hearing this, Lee Ji-hye remarked, "It's not easy for those giving birth," and Im Lala confided, "When I think of mothers, I feel like crying." Son Min-soo also expressed, "It's commendable," and Lee Ji-hye emphasized, "It's tears every moment. Tears since the pregnancy began."
Im Lala said, "When I started morning sickness, I thought, 'How can I endure this?' It felt like I had no rights," expressing her pain. Lee Ji-hye asked, "Can you not eat at all?" Im Lala replied, "From 5 to 8 weeks, I was nearly lifeless. There's an app that counts steps, right? I was only taking about 15 steps. There was no chance to walk. As I lost weight, the doctor said this wasn't good, so I needed IV fluids and nutrients. I took morning sickness medication diligently, and I still can't stop it. But compared to that time, I feel much more like a person now."
Lee Ji-hye remarked, "Then it's starting to go away," and Im Lala noted, "The morning sickness has decreased. I told Min-soo I might be okay, but right the next day, I started having stomach cramps. My stomach got hard, and I was sweating cold. I realized my heart was beating 110 times per minute. I looked it up, and it's because blood needs to go to the baby. When I lie down, my heart races, and I can't sleep. There's no part of me that doesn't hurt. My chest hurts a lot, and I have severe headaches. That's why mothers endure so much."
In response, Lee Ji-hye said, "It's not easy for those giving birth," and Im Lala shared, "That's why we're trying to create our videos without holding back. I need to share this truth. It's very difficult. Women should be aware of this while pregnant; they shouldn't go in blind. For example, I tried to make this known, and when I had a nosebleed, I asked Min-soo to film it. It's the first time in my life I had a nosebleed. This is the kind of difficult thing women go through. Husbands need to treat them well; I wanted to convey that message. Unless I faint or if there's a threat to life, I want to share this process, even if it's just a little bit like sex education. I wish to share a little of this pain, but it's like a complete burden. Min-soo didn't know either. Women endure like this," sharing her honest thoughts.
