50 in vitro procedures, 4 miscarriage high-risk mothers give birth to health after 18 years

Oct 02, 2025

Cheonan Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Moon-soo) affiliated with Soonchunhyang University has recently delivered the story of a high-risk mother who gave birth to a healthy baby for the first time in 18 years on the occasion of Pregnant Women's Day (October 10).

The main character of the story is the family of Chal Tteok-soon (Taemyeong, female) who was born to Yoo Kyung-hee (44, female) and Shin Dong-seok (52, male). The birth name 'Chalddeoksoon' was given by adding 'Chalddeok' in the mother's birth dream and 'soon' symbolizing her daughter.

Baby Chalksoon was born at 8:05 a.m. on September 25 at Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital with a loud cry of 2.2kg.




Yoo Kyung-hee's previous process, which delivered her first baby, was very difficult. She married in 2007 and succeeded in getting pregnant after nine years, but has suffered more than 50 in vitro procedures and four miscarriages so far, including the pain of sending her to heaven after three months.

Another miracle came earlier this year when Yoo Kyung-hee's family did not give up their earnest desire to hold the baby in their arms. However, as a pregnant woman, she suffered from a considerable age, uterine myoma, S protein deficiency, and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, which prevented the supply of blood flow and nutrients to the fetus.

The desperate efforts of mothers and their families to protect the baby and the dedication of hospital medical staff finally enabled them to give birth to their first baby, which they had dreamed of so healthy.




Chalksoon's mother Yoo Kyung-hee said, "I've had such a hard and desperate time to build a wall with the world, but now every day feels like a dream"I want to give hope to my family who are having a hard time due to difficulties, and above all, I am so grateful to the medical staff at Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital for always doing my best with kindness."

Professor Kim Yun-sook of the obstetrics and gynecology department said, `I am grateful to have the opportunity to accompany Chal Tteok-soon on her birth, and I am happy to help her create a happy family.'," he said.
