Sharing with the media at the event on the evening of June 10, Ngo Thanh Van admitted that being a mother brought her more lessons than she had ever imagined. The actress said that the biggest change in herself is learning to be patient and accept that not everything can happen according to plan.
The biggest change is that I have to learn to be very patient. It feels like I learned everything from the beginning. This is my first time being a mother, so everything is new.
Previously, I thought I would build a process for the baby to follow. But then I realized that the process is actually more for parents. If you want to teach your child something, first of all, parents must learn and practice it," she said.
According to Ngo Thanh Van, the first months after giving birth are the most challenging period. Not only facing major changes in life, she also experienced psychological changes due to the effects of postpartum hormones.
The actress said that she once fell into a state of being easily emotional, losing emotional control even though she was previously a strong and perfectionist person in work.
Postpartum hormone changes are something I cannot foresee. In the first month, my job was almost just focusing on breastfeeding. But many times hormone changes caused my mood to drop very quickly.
There were times when the baby couldn't sleep, the baby cried, and I also cried along. I remember crying a few times just because of constant insomnia. It came very suddenly, like some switch was turned on, I also didn't understand why," she recounted.
According to Ngo Thanh Van, in the first three months after giving birth, Huy Tran's husband almost spent all his time taking care of the small family. He supports his wife from taking care of the child, bathing the child to daily tasks so that she has time to recover her health.
Huy almost spends all his time so that I can recover my health. He takes care of the children, bathes them, does everything. There are even things he does better than me," she shared.
However, what Ngo Thanh Van cherishes most is not only work support but also spiritual companionship. Huy Tran's words of encouragement help her overcome feelings of inferiority, pressure and negative thoughts that often appear after giving birth.
Ngo Thanh Van said that she and her husband also spent a lot of time learning about nutrition for their child. The actress revealed that baby Gao was almost exclusively breastfed for more than 10 months of life. When it was necessary to supplement a new source of nutrition, both carefully considered before making a choice.
Ngo Thanh Van and Huy Tran got married in May 2022 after about two years of dating. In many years of living together, the couple often accompanied each other in both work and life, receiving the love of the audience for their attached, simple and discreet image.
In May 2025, the two shared the good news of welcoming their first child and in August 2025 officially welcoming their first daughter, baby Gao. Having gone through a challenging journey to find her child, Ngo Thanh Van has repeatedly said that she always receives encouragement and care from her husband.
Huy Tran also regularly accompanies his wife throughout pregnancy, helping their small family become more united and happy.
