On the 13th, the TV Chosun entertainment show 'My Baby Has Been Born' featured freelancer announcer Lee Jeong-min, who emotionally shared her arduous journey to embrace her second son, touching the hearts of the viewers.
Lee Jeong-min is currently a mother of a 13-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. Her first child was conceived through natural pregnancy and delivered naturally, but having a second child was not easy. She confessed, “I was considering the timing to have a second child, and I attempted in vitro fertilization, but I challenged it a total of 10 times,” adding, “That period took 6 to 7 years.”
However, the pain did not end there. Lee Jeong-min mentioned, “Among the 10 procedures, there was also an ectopic pregnancy, and I experienced miscarriages,” and calmly revealed, “At that time, I also had to receive chemotherapy.” Even the obstetrician and gynecologist was overwhelmed, saying, “I truly respect you.”
The childbirth was not smooth either. Lee Jeong-min said, “I was in labor for 7 hours, but the baby wasn’t descending,” and noted, “I tried holding a lotus position, but ultimately, I had no choice but to opt for a cesarean section.” Despite numerous failures and pains, Lee Jeong-min did not give up. She added, “Looking at my two children now, every moment feels like a miracle, and I am grateful.”
Meanwhile, Lee Jeong-min recently made an appearance at a VIP screening, returning to the public eye after a long time, and has been continuing various broadcasting activities since declaring her freelance status.
