Ms. Nguyen Thi Phung Nhi's family (Gia Lai province) just welcomed their first son into the world with mixed happiness and excitement. According to Mr. Nguyen Binh An Hung, Ms. Phung Nhi's husband, his wife's due date is December 30th. However, by the end of the day, there were still no clear signs, so the couple decided to be hospitalized on the morning of December 31st when she started to have abdominal pain.
“Day la con dau nen toi rat lo, chi mong hai me con duoc binh an,” anh Hung noi. Ca sinh dien ra nhanh, chi khoang nua tieng, nhung voi anh do la quang thoi gian day cang thang. Khi nghe tieng con cat khoc, moi lo lang moi thuc su duoc trut bo.
This is the first child, so I am very worried, just hoping that the mother and child will be safe," Mr. Hung said. The birth took place quickly, only about half an hour, but for him it was a stressful time. When he heard his child cry, all worries were truly relieved.
Gia dinh du dinh dat ten be la Nguyen Phuc Thinh, voi mong muon con lon len khoe manh, hanh phuc va co tuong lai tot dep.
The family plans to name the baby Nguyen Phuc Thinh, with the desire that the child grows up healthy, happy and has a bright future.

Also one of the first young citizens of Ho Chi Minh City, in the sacred atmosphere of New Year's Eve, the baby girl cried to be born earlier than expected, bringing unexpected happiness to the family. According to Ms. Le Thi Quynh Nhu (32 years old, Dong Hung Thuan ward, Ho Chi Minh City), the doctor planned her birth on the 8th, which is almost a week before the expected date. On the same morning, when Ms. Nhu showed signs of labor, the family quickly took her to the hospital at about 10 am.
Anh Huynh Giang Khai (chong chi Quynh Nhu) vui mung chia se: “Luc dau toi nghi chac phai mot, hai ngay nua vo moi sinh, khong ngo con lai chao doi dung thoi khac giao thua“. Khoanh khac dong ho diem 0 gio, khi nghe tieng khoc dau tien cua con, moi lo lang duong nhu tan bien.
Mr. Huynh Giang Khai (Ms. Quynh Nhu's husband) happily shared: "At first, I thought my wife would be born in a day or two, unexpectedly my child was born right at the moment of New Year's Eve". At the moment the clock ticked at 0 o'clock, when I heard my child's first cry, all worries seemed to disappear.

BS.CKII Nguyen Ngoc Yen Oanh, Deputy Head of the Obstetrics Department, Tu Du Hospital, said that during Tet, the number of births at the hospital was still maintained at a stable level, even at times increasing compared to normal days. Specifically today, the department has received and supported births for dozens of pregnant women, including many cases of prolonged labor, elderly pregnant women or babies requiring intervention support.
Theo BS Yen Oanh, dac thu nhung ngay Tet la tam ly san phu va gia dinh thuong cang thang hon, lo lang ve thoi diem sinh roi vao giao thua hoac mung dau nam. “Co nhung san phu rat mong con chao doi dung thoi khac dac biet, nen du met van co gang rat nhieu. Dieu nay doi hoi e-kip y te phai theo doi sat, danh gia dung thoi diem de can thiep, dam bao an toan cho ca me va be,” bac si chia se.
According to Dr. Yen Oanh, the characteristic of Tet days is that the psychology of pregnant women and families is often more stressful, worried about the time of birth falling on New Year's Eve or the beginning of the year. "There are pregnant women who really want their children to be born at a special moment, so even though they are tired, they still try very hard. This requires the medical team to closely monitor and assess the right time to intervene, ensuring safety for both mother and baby," the doctor shared.
