Canadian actress Linda Chung has been happily married to chiropractor Jeremy Leung since 2015, and the couple share three children – Kelly, eight, Jared, six, and Anika, two.
In a recent interview on Hong Kong actress Carol Cheng’s online programme, Chung said marriage and family had always been part of her dream since she was younger.
“But after entering the entertainment industry, that dream kept getting pushed back. At one point, I even thought I might never get married,” the 41-year-old said.
Chung, who’s based in Hong Kong, then recounted her first pregnancy, revealing that the biggest struggle was dealing with the hormonal changes in her body.
“Although I looked slim, some parts of my body became swollen and painful,” the former TVB star said.
The actress went on to explain why she chose a natural delivery over a caesarean section.
“I wanted to experience what my mum went through when she gave birth to me,” she shared.
Chung revealed that the recovery was grueling as she had torn badly, adding: “I struggled to walk afterwards.”
Still, enduring the physical pain of a natural delivery made her realise just how strong she was.
For her second and third child, Chung took an even bolder step, opting for home births.
Inspired after speaking with other parents, she thoroughly researched the process and adjusted her diet to prepare.
Her efforts paid off in the end.
“No stitches were needed then. I could walk right away, and the wound healed well,” she said.
