Influencer Ottomom Announces Pregnancy Amidst Challenges

Influencer Ottomom, 37, has captured attention with the announcement of her pregnancy.

On the 9th, Ottomom shared on her social media, "It seems many of you have already guessed. Yes, I'm expecting a baby this year," along with several photos documenting her pregnancy journey. The images included a moment in a photo booth where she shared the news with her husband.

In other photos, Ottomom candidly discussed the difficulties of her pregnancy. She mentioned, "I barely look in the mirror. I don't have the energy to dress up, and even going to the bathroom is tough, making washing my face and applying skincare a big task," accompanied by a selfie.

She further explained, "It wasn't just simple morning sickness. I experienced nausea, vomiting, hunger pangs, sensitivity to smells, air, outings, and even brushing my teeth, along with dizziness and a lack of appetite all at once. One day, I even coughed up blood. I felt a constant nausea for 24 hours, with my stomach feeling like it was burning and tearing apart every day."

Ottomom continued, "Lying down all day led to a 6kg weight loss and muscle depletion. It was two months of enduring daily vomiting and tears." Despite these challenges, she expressed immense gratitude and happiness for her pregnancy.

Ottomom, a graduate of the Korea National University of Arts, is an influencer with approximately 1.25 million followers. She announced her remarriage to her boyfriend 'Timo' in May last year.

Previously, in 2019, Ottomom was involved in a controversy when broadcaster Jang Sung-kyu followed her on social media.
