Odong cries every day due to economic fears of natural pregnant couples, and hospitals also recommend selective miscarriage (Uquiz)



Sagong Hye-ran and Kim Joon-young, who gave birth to five twins through natural pregnancy for the first time in Korea, revealed the behind-the-scenes story of childbirth.

On the 28th, tvN 'You Quiz on the Block', Sa Gong Hye-ran and Kim Joon-young, who gave birth to five twins through natural pregnancy for the first time in Korea, appeared to tell the story of childbirth and realistic parenting.

In September last year, Sagong Hye-ran, who is 151 centimeters tall and has five children, and five twins who were born weighing less than 1 kilogram. On this day's broadcast, the appearance of 'Odongi', who went out for the first time in about 8 months and 240 days of age, was revealed.




Yoo Jae-seok said, "The quintuplets born in September last year are the first in Korea to be born with natural pregnancy. In terms of probability, it is about one in 65 million, and it is very rare worldwide."

In response, Cho Se-ho wondered "Is there a secret to being pregnant naturally?"

The father, Kim Jun-young, said "It's called a natural pregnancy, but it's just not a test tube or artificial insemination. It induced ovulation. Don't you say 'It's this day?' Then that day.."I couldn't stop talking about the unexpected 19th-grade talk.




In a rather embarrassing atmosphere, Yoo Jae-seok changed the subject by saying "The five children are twins, but aren't they all different in personality?" and her mother Sagong Hye-ran explained the characteristics of the five children one by one, saying "The five are all different in charm."

However, Sagong Hye-ran recalled the case of a 'military couple' who were pregnant with quadruplets and became a hot topic before she became pregnant, saying, `I can't do that when I look at their belly.' I thought about it, but in the end, it became my own."

In particular, Sagong Hye-ran said "How did you feel when you were first told that you were a five-twin boy?" and added "The doctor said it was triplets and quadruplets, so I said 'What?screamed ' Of course, I thought it was one person. But I finally saw five, so I confirmed the existence of the quintuplets."

Realistic concerns were also high. Kim Jun-young said "It was hard to accept reality. At that time, I lived in a studio apartment, and I was so scared of financial problems. We cried every night for two weeks." Sagong Hye-ran also recalled the time, saying, `I cried because I was so scared on the way home from the hospital, and when I got home, my husband cried a lot.'

In particular, Sagong Hye-ran, who is 151 centimeters tall, said "I actually thought it was hard for twins, too. I didn't think I could handle it. The hospital also worried about 'Consider the selective legacy'. The fourth was also weak in the sound of the heart," he said, describing his troubled moment.

Kim Joon-young said "Actually, I didn't say much at the time. Even if I didn't say anything, I could feel what I was worried about. I cried a lot because I was scared because my wife was having a hard time no matter what choice I made," he recalled.

Even my parents-in-law recommended a selective miscarriage, but just before the decision, the two were consulted by Professor Jeon Jong-kwan, the top expert on multiple births.

Sagong Hye-ran "I prepared a selective legacy and looked at the professor, and (the professor) 'I can do it all even if my mother is small. If the mother doesn't believe in the babies, who can. When I heard that one word, I thought I should trust the baby." Kim Joon-young also said "Think of it as a seller". From then on, I'm going to save the kids'. "Let's watch" he said.

Afterwards, Sagong Hye-ran decided to hold all five children. But the pregnancy process was not smooth. By the fifth month of pregnancy, the stomach had swollen like full term, vomited three to four times a day at 18 weeks, and suffered severe indigestion from the 20th week. It was hard to even walk after 23 weeks.

Sagong Hye-ran said "The speed of getting full was so fast that when I woke up, my stomach was out. The five of us grew up at once, so we threw up when we ate it. I couldn't even walk beyond a couple of weeks."

Eventually, he aimed for 27 weeks, but he couldn't fill the day and went into early surgery 26 weeks later. "My hands and feet were swollen and my lungs were filled with water, so I couldn't stop coughing."," he said.

Recalling the time of childbirth, Sagong Hye-ran said "I started the surgery under anesthesia, but when I heard my first son crying, I cried with relief that he was alive." Seeing the children for the first time two days after giving birth, he said "I cried the moment I saw them because they were so small," Kim Jun-young said "There are more than 20 diseases that premature babies can suffer from." Since there are five people, there are 10 to 20 consent forms each." he said, explaining the urgent situation at the time.

All five children even needed surgery. Sagong Hye-ran "I would have grown up comfortably and well in my stomach, but I'm sorry and feel guilty that I made her suffer as soon as she was born because she came out without growing enough and struggled to survive on her own. I was sorry because a large needle was stuck in a body that was too small. He was born so small that he became emotional.

In the end, it wasn't until six months after birth that seven families gathered in one place for the first time. Since then, the two have expressed their feelings that although they are struggling with real problems, not only difficult parenting but also economic problems, "I feel like I'm filled with a barn in my heart."

In particular, the two people who are currently working as educational officials quickly became low-income families as they went from a two-person household to a seven-person household. Parenting continues with the help of state vouchers and various companies" he said.

Finally, when asked how they want their children to grow up, the couple said, "I just want them to grow up healthy."," he said, echoing deeply.
