Comedian Im Lara honestly revealed the physical changes that occurred after her twin pregnancy.
On the 27th, a video titled "Warning: The shocking changes in my body after pregnancy that no one talked about! I'm revealing everything!" was uploaded to the 'Enjoy couple' channel.
That day, while out for a walk with Son Min-soo, Im Lara said, "Our professor looked at my condition and said I need to walk a lot to maintain (my weight) so I came out to walk on purpose, but it's so hot." Son Min-soo shared, "In the past, I would bring a cardigan because it was cold," and Im Lara responded, "I wore long sleeves today just in case it would be cold, but it feels like I could walk around in just my underwear. It's so hot."
Son Min-soo noted, "A characteristic of pregnant women is that their body temperature rises by more than 0.5 degrees," and Im Lara said, "That's right. My physical symptoms are really severe. Pregnant women tend to feel hotter. I wasn't someone who experienced heat sensitivity, but I've changed into someone who does." After that, he got tired and collapsed from not walking much, and Son Min-soo expressed his frustration, saying, "Honey, I will definitely get pregnant in my next life."
Im Lara said, "I really want to eat some sweet decaf coffee with ice cream on top," and Son Min-soo carefully helped her up, saying, "When I help you up, I can't hold your hand too tightly because my joints hurt, so I won't put much strength into it." However, Im Lara confessed, "Honey, should I tell you something sad? Earlier, I had a word for the coffee I wanted that I couldn't remember, so I said it was coffee with ice cream on top. I can't remember it now, and it's driving me crazy. Is it just me, or has anyone else experienced this? After getting pregnant, I can't remember terms like 'script' or 'lyrics.'"
He expressed his frustration, saying, "What's the name of that coffee? You probably know it, but you're not telling me," and Son Min-soo replied, "I know it. You need to remember it; it helps with dementia," as Im Lara pondered, "What do you call it when ice cream is on top? It's something like avocado." Seeing this, Son Min-soo pretended to wipe away tears, saying, "Oh, I'm so sad." Eventually remembering the name affogato, Im Lara shared her joy.
At the cafe, Im Lara showed her swollen hand, saying, "Honey, look at my hand. I was shocked. Whose hand is this? Is it too severe today? My eyes are bulging." Son Min-soo commented, "And it seems to have darkened. The joints have gotten darker and thicker," to which Im Lara replied, "My fingers are thicker than yours." She also mentioned, "I asked the professor, and among five people, one has joint pain, and I'm that one. I have the worst luck. In the morning, my hands are so swollen I need to soak them in hot water for five minutes to feel normal. Because my joints hurt, Min-soo has to give me a lot of palm massages, and husbands need to give calf massages too."
Son Min-soo lamented, "Even when we hold hands, you seem to be in pain," while Im Lara struggled to recall a name, asking, "What's the name of that character? Elf?" Son Min-soo reminded her, saying, "Ralph," while expressing his sadness, saying, "Oh, it's sad.. I'm crying..."
Im Lara, who takes vitamins every day after becoming pregnant, explained, "The reason iron is important is that you need to take it to produce blood. When making a baby, you lose a lot of blood, so you have to prepare in advance. If you don't take iron, it's really dangerous during excessive bleeding. Taking iron diligently can lead to constipation. But mothers of twins need to take 100 mg of iron. The level of constipation is on another level." Son Min-soo mentioned, "Being a mother makes it difficult for Lara to manage her bodily functions," and Im Lara added, "We've been together for ten years, and I never tooted, but now it's impossible not to during pregnancy. There is a solution; I need to take probiotics."
Meanwhile, after returning home, Im Lara said, "I came to the bathroom to wash and almost fainted at the sight of my belly. It's really much bigger. It seems to be stretching now. When I talk about my physical changes, my belly has grown uncontrollably, but the problem is that no matter how much stretch mark cream I apply, it's turning red and purple. I've recently been showing videos about taping, so I applied tape, but for someone like me with sensitive skin, a concern is that it leaves marks when I take it off. It's been itching and hurting since yesterday. They say from 30 weeks onwards, you can stop worrying about stretching, so I'm applying stretch mark cream and putting on oil one more time."
Additionally, she mentioned, "The pregnancy lines on my abdomen have gotten darker and hair has started to grow. The shocking thing is that the wrinkles on my neck have become really severe. They were noticeable before, but now they've stretched out along my neck. The craziest part is that they've appeared under my neck like rings of age. You can see the darkening in my armpits, right? It's like pigmentation. I had them removed, but here, two spots are extremely dark, and my breast nipples have become as dark as big pies. It feels like my breasts have grown about three cups. What shocks me is that many women don't return to normal after this. Will my armpits go back to normal, mothers who have experienced it? What should I do about the darkness?"
Im Lara asked, "Why has it become so serious? But still, please say I'm pretty," and Son Min-soo comforted her, saying, "Of course you're pretty. This is such a noble process. Do you want to see mine? Mine is dirtier! I have mold!" Im Lara responded, "There are dozens of other physical symptoms besides this. I used to have no skin problems, but now I have serious skin issues, and seeing myself in the mirror while washing makes me depressed. So I look at the mirror with blurry eyes. It's definitely not good, and it's getting blurry automatically because my eyesight is getting worse. Nowadays, I can't live at all without my glasses, so my eyes get blurry automatically," adding, "When I brush my teeth, my gums bleed a lot. I get nosebleeds, and my gums bleed a lot, so I need to be gentle when using dental floss. Honestly, I'm sacrificing my body to create the baby. So my husband must take good care of me."
Son Min-soo said, "I'll take care of the parenting. After ten months of hardship, I promise to take care of everything for ten years," and Im Lara responded, "It's pretty that you say that, even if it's just words. Thank you. That's why I show my husband these things. If I don't say it, he won't know. So if the wives are embarrassed to show directly, please show them this video." He further stated, "And you need to weigh yourself every day," while Son Min-soo added, "You shouldn't gain too much weight and should aim for a reasonable target weight." Im Lara declared, "The goal is to gain within 6 kg by the end of the pregnancy," to which Son Min-soo promised, "I'll take good care of you until the end of the months."
After showering, Im Lara collapsed onto the bed. After receiving a massage from Son Min-soo, she stated, "I walked a lot today, so I feel a bit of a cold. The bed feels like a treasure. I wake up at least five times a night, guaranteed. The really frustrating thing is that my stomach hurts so much that if I try to sleep through it, I could end up with a bladder infection. I have to go to the bathroom, even if it's annoying. Even when I'm tired, as soon as I go to the bathroom, 'Boom!' it's over. I'm tired, but I can't sleep. I can't lie down properly; if I lie straight, I can't breathe. I can only lie on my side. Even now, I'm out of breath. What's even more frustrating is that even if I try to breathe deeply, only 80% of the air gets into my lungs. It feels like I'm living like this for two months. I understand why those who say the last month is the hardest say that. But for now, my morning sickness is still up there," sharing her pregnancy struggles.
At the same time, she added, "However, you don't have to be too scared after watching this video because I'm an older mother and have many symptoms, and it's even more so because I'm having twins. If you're not having twins, don't be too scared," and Son Min-soo encouraged, "But mothers expecting Ra Ki Tu Ki can overcome it all." Im Lara affirmed, "That's right. Because I have the Ra Ki Tu Ki dad with me," and later Son Min-soo declared, "Ra Ki Tu Ki, your mom has worked so hard to give birth to you. So, whenever your self-esteem drops, remember that you were born with endless love from your mom and dad, and remember that you are the most precious beings to mommy and daddy," while also playfully stating, "It's so tough to give birth, and then you don't even listen to me... Ack!" making everyone laugh. Along with that, he expressed his affection for their soon-to-be-born children by saying, "I love you."
