Announcer Lim Hyeon-joo, who is five months pregnant, opened up about her experiences over the past few months.

Announcer Lim Hyun-joo left a long message on her account on the 3rd. Announcer Lim said, "I am writing this after five months of pregnancy. During the first few months of pregnancy, I experienced changes that I had never experienced before in my life. I couldn't do anything after work because of the nausea, so I stayed in bed all the time and kept falling asleep, wondering if this was possible. “I ended up sleeping 10 hours a day. It was a limit to my physical condition and physical strength that I couldn’t have imagined before,” he said.

He continued, "Of course, my efficiency in using my time wisely and my ability to concentrate are not even half what they used to be. If I eat, it's hard because I feel sick, and if I don't eat, it's hard because I feel anxious. My appetite has completely changed. I haven't been able to drink a cup of soy milk latte or black tea since then. Foods that were supposed to be sweet and delicious ended up being so bitter or greasy that I couldn't eat them. The joy of eating was so great! I thought morning sickness would end with a few 'woo-woo-woo' symptoms like in a drama, but I felt like I was seasick the whole time. “There are times when I feel sad and bring tears to my eyes,” he said, expressing his suffering due to morning sickness.

He also said, "As I was losing weight, my stomach began to slowly reveal itself. As the symptoms subsided, I finally had time to think about the time I was going through." “It wasn’t just that it was hard. There were projects I had to give up on, but thanks to that, I was able to spend time without being chased by anything for the first time in my life. I was thankful that Ilwol gave me a rest that was like a gift. I’m sensitive to eating. As the sun set, I began to look for healthy food and instinctively avoided artificial scents and perfumes. And the most surprising thing was the strength and determination I felt within myself. While broadcasting and giving lectures, the sense of composure and serenity became a great strength." He said.

Announcer Lim said, "On the other hand, I wondered if I would have felt the same way if it were not 'now'. If it was a time when I had a passionate desire to work, I would have become anxious or depressed. As I wrote in my last book, I was immersed in work. “As time passed, there came a time when I wanted to find a balance of opposites, so I thought I could accept this moment as a happy change. Pregnancy can be a true blessing for a mother when she is prepared and at the right time,” she confessed.

She continued, "If there had been no help and support from those around me! This was also a very important condition. The system and consideration, such as short work hours, started when I announced the news of my pregnancy to the company. Sometimes, when I feel sorry for the helplessness of being bedridden, my husband says, 'My wife Lim Hyeon-joo, a wonderful human being. “I said ‘Lim Hyun-joo’ and showed support,” she said, talking about the consideration of her husband and those around her.

In addition, "Even though I have heard many stories from friends who have experienced childbirth, it seems that there were parts that I did not think deeply about because it is a process that many people in the human race go through and ultimately ten months pass by. However, parents who are pregnant and raising children do not feel guilty in society or at work. “I think I now understand why structure and consideration that prevent children from feeling negative are important. I will learn more through the future process and raising children. This is how I am learning,” he said.

Lim Hyeon-joo worked at JTBC in 2011 and joined MBC as a public recruitment announcer in 2013. Daniel Tudor worked as a Korean correspondent for the British business weekly 'The Economist' for three years from 2010, and wrote books such as 'A country that achieved miracles, a country that lost joy', 'Familiar death and inconvenient hope', and 'A lonely stranger's walk'. did. The two got married last February. Announcer Lim recently revealed that she found out she was pregnant 10 days before her wedding.
