Actress CHERYL WEE recently gave birth to a baby boy. And the little bundle of joy wasn’t the only miracle that happened during labour.
If you’re one of Cheryl Wee’s 75.7K IG followers, you would have seen the actress-slash-Jean Yip-heiress detailing her (sometimes bumpy) journey to motherhood. It all started when she announced her pregnancy via a cute and creative Christmas video showing Cheryl and her architect husband, Roy Fong, tearing open their X’mas presents before revealing a card with the words “#weefongababy. Coming 2018” printed on it. Well, after 40 weeks, false labour pains, week-long contractions, and many, many #weefongababy social media updates later, Cheryl and Roy welcomed their 3kg bundle of joy into this world. Although, according to the new mum, she experienced more shock than joy when she first set eyes on her son.
8 DAYS: It’s been about a week since you gave birth, so what has motherhood been like for you?
CHERYL WEE: I don’t really know what it means to be a mother yet ’cos I’m still so new to parenthood. But I love my baby very much and want the best for him. Like, when I contracted a postpartum urinary tract infection (UTI), the doctor said it’s okay to still feed my baby even if I’m taking antibiotics. But I just didn’t feel comfortable doing so. So to be safe, I’d take the medicine early in the morning and only breastfeed him in the afternoon.
They say being a mum makes one selfless.
