Lee Gyeong-sil Recalls 20-Hour Labor

Comedian Lee Gyeong-sil recalled her terrifying experience of undergoing a C-section after 20 hours of labor during childbirth.

On the channel 'Rolling Thunder,' released on the 24th, Lee Gyeong-sil revealed during a conversation about childbirth with her colleagues that despite 20 hours of labor, her cervix did not dilate, leading to a C-section. She shared that after the surgery, she learned the baby had the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck twice and was in a breech position, recounting the dangerous situation at the time.

During the broadcast, Jo Hye-ryeon's experience attempting a 'swing birth' was also mentioned again. Jo Hye-ryeon honestly stated that she tried to give birth by swinging on a swing at the suggestion of Jeon Yu-seong, but ultimately gave up as her labor pains intensified. She conveyed the emotion and happiness of finally holding her child after overcoming various difficulties.

Junior comedian Park Se-mi revealed her ovarian age of 24 and expressed her desire for marriage and childbirth, while Lee Gyeong-sil shared her life as a working mom who returned to work just four weeks after giving birth. Jo Hye-ryeon offered advice, saying, "​It's important not to miss the right time for your body."

Netizens expressed sympathy for Lee Gyeong-sil's hardship, with comments such as "It must have been incredibly difficult to have surgery after 20 hours of labor" and "​It could have been really dangerous with the baby in breech position and the cord wrapped around its neck." Regarding Jo Hye-ryeon's swing birth, some also commented, "​It's still shocking and funny to hear now."
