I hope the first child resembles my husband.

Baek, who shared her pregnancy news in June after a three-year struggle with infertility, expressed both excitement and a touch of apprehension about her first child. "I'm scared of that," she joked when Kim Ji-yu commented on how strong and bright the baby would be if it inherited Baek's traits. "I hope the first child resembles my husband."

Many people tell me to get help from postpartum care centers, but I think I'll give birth smoothly, so I don't plan to do it.

Scheduled to give birth in December, Baek stated her intention to skip postpartum care services, a common practice for many new mothers. "Many people tell me to get help from postpartum care centers, but I think I'll give birth smoothly, so I don't plan to do it," she explained. She also expressed surprise at the UK's typical postpartum practices, noting, "In the UK, you eat crackers the morning after giving birth and are discharged right away."

Reflecting on her pregnancy, Baek emphasized her focus on the baby's well-being. "I desperately want the baby to be healthy. At first, I thought, 'The baby will come out of my belly well,' but now I'm careful about everything I eat and everything I do," she shared, highlighting the profound shift in her priorities.
