Actress Nam Bo-ra candidly shared her feelings about becoming a mother, revealing everything from preparing for pregnancy to her birth plans. However, recent news that she had surgery after cells that can cause cervical cancer were found raised fans' concerns.
Nam Bo-ra recently shared the pregnancy process and preparation methods by releasing a video titled "Nam Bo-ra pregnancy Q&A. Succeeded on the second try?! Make sure to bring this" on her YouTube channel "Nam Bo-ra's life theater." Now 23 weeks pregnant, she said, "I became pregnant two months after making a plan," and described in detail the processes she went through while preparing for pregnancy.
Nam Bo-ra said she also had an unexpected health problem while preparing for pregnancy. She said, "During the health check, it wasn't cervical cancer, but cells that can cause cervical cancer were found." She added, "I had surgery to remove the cells, and it took about two months to fully recover," which surprised everyone.
After that, she began preparing for pregnancy in earnest. Nam Bo-ra said, "The first thing I did was an antibody test. There are antibodies a baby inherits from the mother, and any antibodies that are absent should be administered in advance," and added, "My husband also had his health checked through a urology exam." She continued, "I consistently took supplements such as vitamin D, omega-3, folic acid, and probiotics, and prepared while managing decreased ovarian function."
Because she is approaching childbirth, she said various tests are scheduled. She said, "There are tests left to do, such as the gestational diabetes test and preeclampsia test," and added, "If you pass the time like clearing quests one by one, before you know it it becomes 40 weeks. I want to give birth to a healthy child."
Previously Nam Bo-ra also expressed her thoughts on delivery methods on KBS2's Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant. She mentioned, "I want to try a natural birth," but her mother immediately opposed the idea and expressed concern upon hearing it. Natural birth is known as a method that minimizes medical intervention and respects the mother and baby's natural birthing process, but family members urged a cautious decision, worrying about the mother's stamina and safety.
After hearing her family's opinions, Nam Bo-ra said, "I will think it over carefully and decide," which drew attention to whether she will have a natural birth.
Meanwhile, Nam Bo-ra married a businessman of the same age in May last year, and she is due to give birth to her first child this June.
