Park Eun-young announces second pregnancy, "miraculously found a baby through in vitro fertilization before menopause."
Former announcer and broadcaster Park Eun-young shared the miraculous news of her second pregnancy. After challenges through in vitro fertilization, she embraced her second child at the age of 44.
On the 11th, a video titled "I'm 44... I have a second child♥ The behind-the-scenes of in vitro fertilization that even acquaintances didn't know about" was uploaded to her YouTube channel 'Anamorna Park Eun-young.'
In the video, Park Eun-young announced that she is currently 11 weeks pregnant, cautiously saying, "The reason I haven't mentioned this until now is... I'm really an old mother. I'm having my second child at 44." She added a bittersweet reality, saying, "It's an age where you'd normally give up on having another child, and I was almost at the point of menopause." She also shared that, while she had a brief and intense experience of nausea with her first son, Beom-jun, this time the feeling of bloating and dizziness had continued for over a month.
In particular, Park Eun-young's desire to have a second child stemmed from a wish for a "family with siblings." She stated, "My mom had four children, my sister has three kids, and my younger sibling has two. But my marriage was delayed, so I thought I might just have one child, Beom-jun. However, I always felt a bit regretful, and I kept telling my husband, 'We can’t just have one.'
To that, her husband replied, "Then let's give it a try." The couple quickly decided to pursue in vitro fertilization. However, the reality was not easy for Park Eun-young, who said, "In the first month, I took the injections, but got 0 eggs; in the next attempt, there wasn’t much improvement. I retrieved 2, but they all failed to fertilize." Nevertheless, she did not give up.
After five months of repeating egg retrievals, they secured a total of 9 embryos and miraculously succeeded in becoming pregnant after the first implantation conducted last April. She expressed, "It was a tiring time for both my body and mind, but ultimately, the second child came to us. I really wanted to share this feeling," delivering heartfelt greetings to her fans with an emotionally touching gaze.
Meanwhile, Park Eun-young married businessman Kim Hyung-woo, who is three years younger, in 2019 and has a first son, Beom-jun. The family shares their daily life and parenting honestly through their YouTube channel and broadcasts, receiving support from many.
