Actress Nam Bo-ra announced her desire for a natural childbirth.
On the 14th, Nam Bo-ra appeared as a guest on SBS Power FM's 'Two O'Clock Escape Cultwo Show' (hereinafter 'Cultwo Show') alongside singer Kim Soo-chan. Comedian Kwak Beom served as a special DJ.
Currently pregnant, Nam Bo-ra shared that she hopes to undergo a natural childbirth without induction or epidural anesthesia.
When asked, "How can you endure without painkillers?" Nam Bo-ra calmly replied, "There were no epidurals during my mother's time."
Furthermore, when asked, "If the labor time is long, shouldn't induction be performed?" Nam Bo-ra responded, "I heard that not doing it allows for a faster delivery. In fact, I heard that receiving an epidural eliminates pain, causing one to relax and the baby not to come out."
Nam Bo-ra also clarified misconceptions regarding natural childbirth. She stated, "People often misunderstand that natural childbirth means giving birth at home. That is not the case. A doctor will still deliver the baby; it simply means avoiding induction or epidural anesthesia."
Natural childbirth is known as a method that prioritizes the safety of the mother while minimizing medical intervention, avoiding procedures such as epidural anesthesia, episiotomy, enemas, and hair removal.
Meanwhile, Nam Bo-ra married a businessperson of the same age last May and announced her pregnancy in December of the same year. She is scheduled to give birth in June.
