actress Oh Cho-hee Announces Twin Pregnancy, Confronts Age-Related Prejudice
Seoul, South Korea - Actress Oh Cho-hee, 40, publicly announced her pregnancy with twins last September, sparking an outpouring of support alongside disheartening displays of age-related prejudice. The actress addressed the unsolicited concern surrounding her pregnancy, urging fans to offer encouragement rather than worry.
Oh Cho-hee previously revealed a heartbreaking experience with a spontaneous miscarriage at seven weeks last year, a loss she navigated through continued treatment, dedicated exercise, and fervent prayer. ”But I couldn’t give up,” she shared, adding she purposefully remained busy to cope with the pain. Her recent announcement resonated deeply with many, highlighting the increasing number of women choosing to start or expand their families later in life.
The actress’s story arrives at a time when societal norms surrounding maternal age are being actively challenged.While 40 is often labeled as “older” in the context of pregnancy,advancements in reproductive healthcare and a growing trend of delayed parenthood mean more women are successfully carrying and delivering healthy babies at this age and beyond. Oh Cho-hee’s openness about her journey aims to foster understanding and support for those facing similar circumstances.
“Although many people define the age of 40 as ’older,’ many mothers, including oh Cho-hee, are doing their best to give birth to a healthy child and are receiving support from those around them,” the actress conveyed through her announcement. The news has touched the hearts of fans, who are celebrating her resilience and upcoming arrival of her twins.
