Actor Anh Tuan and his wife: 2 births

According to Dan Tri Electronic Newspaper, although it has been 4 months since the birth of their second child - Yumi, when asked about their birth experience, actor Anh Tuan (Street in the Village) and his wife still felt nervous, worried, and overwhelmed because the second birth was a completely different experience from the first.

First time giving birth: a sweet, smooth journey

Actor Anh Tuan and his wife chose a family delivery room to accompany each other on their journey of giving birth.

The memory of their first birth is still vivid in the minds of Anh Tuan and Diem Quynh. Two years ago, the actor and his wife happily welcomed their first baby boy at Thu Cuc International General Hospital.

As his wife's companion throughout the prenatal check-ups and labor, the actor shared: "The first time giving birth, everything went very smoothly. My wife's pregnancy was assessed as favorable, so the doctor recommended a natural birth. Because I wanted to be with Quynh during labor, I chose the family delivery room. Quynh only spent a few hours in labor and the baby was born healthy."

Contrasting experience with second birth

With a smooth first experience, the actor's family said that both of them were very confident because they thought that everything would go the same way. Therefore, the couple continued to choose the normal birth package. Many people think that if the first normal birth went smoothly, the second birth will be easier. However, that was not true for Diem Quynh in this birth.

At week 39, Diem Quynh showed signs of abdominal pain and went into labor in the middle of the night. The couple immediately went to the hospital. Similar to the first birth, the actor still chose the family delivery room to accompany his wife during the natural birth process. However, although the doctors tried to support and monitor Quynh for a natural birth, after more than 12 hours, the cervix did not progress.

Due to the prolonged labor and the lack of cervical development, Dr. Nguyen Van Ha - Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and Deputy Director of Thu Cuc TCI International General Hospital ordered a cesarean section.

Diem Quynh was assigned a cesarean section after many hours of her cervix not opening.

Dr. Ha commented: “The cervix did not progress, causing the mother’s labor to be prolonged. Although the doctors supported some interventions to help the labor process go smoothly, the cervix did not progress. Therefore, we decided to perform a cesarean section to ensure the safety of both mother and child.”

Baby Yumi of Anh Tuan couple is very cute.

Actor Anh Tuan said that he is a person who easily cries. When he learned that his wife had to undergo surgery and was pushed into a one-way sterile room, but he was not allowed in, he was quite worried and nervous and cried.

“When I saw me standing outside the operating room, restless and with red eyes, a media staff member of Thu Cuc sent me a clip taken with a phone in the operating room and said that the surgery was going very well, the baby was being taken out, and both mother and child were healthy, I felt somewhat reassured,” Anh Tuan emotionally shared.

Happiness burst when daughter Yumi was born safely.

After 2 memorable births, Diem Quynh shared: “The decision to choose Thu Cuc was very wise. Because of my busy work and having a 2-year-old baby, I often forgot my prenatal check-ups, luckily the hospital always reminded me of the schedule. The doctors also tried their best to help me give birth naturally and closely monitored me to support timely cesarean section. What impressed me most was the entire birth support team and nurses who always held my hand to encourage me and reassured Tuan when I had to be transferred for cesarean section.”

Why is it easy to give birth naturally the first time, but still have to have a cesarean section the second time?

According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Duc, Head of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Treatment Unit - Thu Cuc TCI: "Each pregnancy has a different birth process. The prognosis of whether a pregnant woman can give birth normally or not depends on many factors such as the mother's general condition, the mother's pelvis, and the weight of the fetus when labor occurs. During the labor monitoring process, factors such as the mother's general condition, the dilation of the cervix, the fetal heart rate, amniotic fluid, and whether the baby's head can be fully dilated or not. If these factors are favorable, the pregnant woman can give birth normally."

Through their story, Anh Tuan and his wife want to send advice to pregnant mothers: “Giving birth is a special journey. Mothers should prepare themselves mentally and listen to the doctor’s advice.”
