A Hong Kong Christian actress shared her experience of having her third child to ease the fears of many mothers.
Linda Chung Ka Yan is a singer and actress in Hong Kong. On October 27, 2022, she announced the birth of her third child, Anika. She gave birth while sitting in her bathtub at home instead of going to the hospital.
Linda, who was born and now lives in Canada, posted an article on March 9 (March 8 in Canada), sharing her experience to reduce the fears of many mothers.
The following is her post:
I grew up surrounded by movies and ideas about how dangerous, scary, and unbearable it was to have a baby. There have been more negative views on fertility than positive ones in my heart.
Before having a child of my own, I thought that to give birth to a child, a woman must be in a cold and white hospital, surrounded by equipment, tubes, and machines. We, women, can’t move, only waiting to be told what to do. We have to wait and will experience a lot of pain. What’s more, some interventions may also need to be made before the baby comes out. However, it was not so scary when I experienced it by myself. It’s natural for women to give birth to babies.
I find today’s modern world a place where technology, marketing, and personal income have dominated. We lost connection with our own bodies as well as ourselves, and we have adapted to rely on things to relax and help us. However, I want to remind mothers not to lose the power God has given us.
This experience of giving birth to a child strengthened me a lot, took me back to my nature, and made me believe in myself and God’s creation.
No matter where you choose to give birth, in a hospital, at home, or wherever possible, I pray that all mothers believe in themselves, let go of all fears, and let their bodies do their jobs. Cherish this journey, which will be one of the most meaningful events in their lives. There may be ups and downs, but that’s okay.

一香港基督徒艺人分享了自己生三胎的经历，来减轻其他很多母亲的恐惧。
2022年10月27日，香港女演员及歌手钟嘉欣官宣三胎出生，女儿英文名Anika。这次生产，钟嘉欣并没有去医院，而是坐在自家的浴缸里诞下三胎的。
钟嘉欣现居住在加拿大，在3月9日（加拿大当地时间3月8日）发文分享了自己生三胎的经历，来减轻其他很多母亲的恐惧。以下为第一人称讲述。
在成长过程中,我一直被许多电影和想法包围着,说生孩子是危险、可怕和难以忍受的。我发现对生育的负面看法比积极看法更多。
在有我自己的孩子之前,我想生孩子必须在一家冷白的医院里,周围有很多设备、管子和机器。 我们不能移动,被告知该怎么做。 我们等待,经历了很多痛苦,在宝宝出生前可能进行一些干预。 但是, 从我的经验来看, 这并不必是可怕的。 这是自然的，女人是为了怀孩子而生的。
我发现在这个现代世界，技术、营销和个人收益已经接管。 我们与我们的身体和我们自己失去了联系。 我们已经适应了依靠东西来放松我们和帮助我们。但我想提醒每个人永远不要失去上帝给我们的能力。
孩子的出生经历对我来说是如此赋予力量。它让我回到我的本性,相信我,相信上帝创造的东西。
无论你选择什么出生环境,医院,家,或任何可能的地方。我祈祷所有的母亲相信你自己,放下所有的恐惧,让你的身体完成它的工作。 拥抱这段旅程， 这是你生命中最有意义的事件之一。可能是起起落落,没关系。
