Actress Nam Bo-ra has discussed the physical and emotional changes she is going through during her pregnancy. She has also given a candid look at her daily life as she enters her second trimester.
In a new YouTube video, the actress talked about how her feelings change, how her body changes, and how excited she gets as she gets ready to be a mom.
Nam said in a video she posted to her YouTube channel, "Nambora's Life Theater," on January 7 that she is 14 weeks pregnant. The video, which OSEN later reported on, showed her daily life while dealing with morning sickness and increased sensitivity.
Nam said, "I'm now in my 14th week of pregnancy," as she talked about her current state. A mother's hormones are all over the place at this time. She went into more detail about the effects by saying, "That's why, if you look closely, my face is flushed and I'm incredibly sensitive. But what's even more frustrating is that I can't go to a dermatologist."

The actress also showed how she deals with these changes at home. She said that to calm herself down, she used a collagen pack and lightly rode an indoor bike for exercise. She showed off her slightly bulging belly and said, "My belly has protruded a little now, but just a little?" She was amazed by the changes.
"You can see it now, even with your eyes. She said, "My belly only sticks out like this here." What? Even if I try hard, it won't go back in." She went on to say, "It's so amazing. There's a new life here," showing how excited she was.
Nam thought about how her habits have changed since she got pregnant while she was sorting through ultrasound pictures during the video. She said that she has become more sentimental and then said, "I'm not the type to keep a diary, but it's different now that I have a baby. Looking at the ultrasound photos, I can see that the baby has grown up.
She also talked about a personal belief, saying, "They say that firstborns resemble their fathers, so I think my firstborn will probably resemble Chan-woo."
The Chosun Daily says that Nam talked more about the emotional highs and lows she has been going through. She said, "On the one hand, I wish it would come out sooner, but pregnancy isn't always as easy as I thought. Hormones are a constant mess, and I suddenly feel sad, happy, and depressed."
She went on, "I'm also a bit scared of how my body is changing, and sometimes I feel like I'm slowly losing myself. Sometimes I get a little depressed, but what can I do? Time will pass anyway, and the baby will be born."
The video also showed Nam making tteok mandu-guk, eating with her husband, and then decorating a Christmas tree together.
Nam Bo-ra, the oldest of 13 siblings, made her first appearance on MBC's "Sunday Sunday Night – Angels' Choir" and KBS's "Human Theater." In May of last year, she married a businessman who was the same age as her. In December, she made her pregnancy public.
