Although Margie Tsang has the potential to achieve more in the entertainment industry, she gave up a promising career all for love. She handled her love life and marriage at a very low key by keeping news about her courtship and marriage to a minimum. However, Margie cannot escape from the media now that she is having a baby. To get away from the media, Margie had no choice but to leave her newborn son at the hospital and return home first to get some rest.

After the baby was born, Margie immediately transferred to a different hospital. One of the reason was to avoid the media, and the other reason was because some womb fluid has got into the baby's lungs. The baby can be taken better care of by Margie's doctor brother at the new hospital.

Margie tells the reporter that it is better that the baby stays at the hospital because she really don't know how to take care of him yet. She wants to wait until the baby's embryological cord falls off before she takes him home (it takes an average of 10 days for a newborn's embroyical cord to fall off) because she doesn't know how to bathe him with the embroyical cord still attached. She will bring her breast milk to the hospital to feed the baby. She doesn't know how long she will breast feed, but she wants the baby to be healthly.

Margie says the first thing she has to do when she gets home is to get a good rest because her body is very tired after having a baby. As to her diet, Margie hopes she will produce more breast milk by drinking more fish broth. The reporter then asked Margie how she felt when she first breast feed the baby. After hearing the question Margie laughed and replied that she felt a little embarassed at first but the feeling was very special; she felt very, very close to her baby.

All small and large presses have been in a frantic for Margie's latest news since she gave birth to her baby son. Margie has even admitted that she cannot tolerate the media always following her, so she decided to leave the hospital to get some rest at home. She will have to part with her newborn for two days until the baby is ready to go home.

Margie's husband arrived at the hospital around 5 in the evening to pick her up. They feed and changed diapers for the baby before leaving at 7 pm. Because it was the first time for the both of them, they were all thumbs when trying to change diapers for the baby.

Margie claims that she has always been a low key person, she did not expect to be chased by the media like that just because she had a baby. She begs the media not to follow her anymore and promises that when her son reaches one month old, she will send photos all the press as well as let them take family pictures. Despite all this, 4 cars were still spotted following Margie and her husband's car when they were travelling home. When they almost reached Margie's resident, she got out of the car to ask the reporters not to follow her. She tells them she has been very cooperative already and that there is really nothing left to report. She ask the reporters not to upset her because she is a patient who is in desparate need of rest. After that, the reporters were cooperative and gave up following Margie home in the end.

Starting from the day Margie gave birth to her baby, the media is very concern about her condition and has been waiting outside Margie's hospital room the past few days. Together with her husband, Margie finally meets with the media this afternoon to talk about what it is like to be parents for the first time.

To meet with everyone, Margie took time to do her makeup and wore a black one piece dress. Although she still appears to be a little chubby after giving birth, her face was glowing with happiness. She tells everyone that for certain she is not affected by any post pregnancy depression syndrom, rather, she only suffers post pregnancy overly joyous syndrom. Thinking back to the time she spent in the delivery room, she felt that she was very brave and tough. After 10 plus hours of giving natural birth, she was drained of energy when the baby was finally born. She describes the first thought that came into her mind when the doctors showed her the baby was: 'Wow! How come the baby is so big?'

The reporters then asked Margie's husband how he will repay his wife for enduring so much pain to have his child. He said anything she wants is fine. He remembers being excited and scared at the same time when he was in the delivery room. When he saw how much pain Margie was in, he was so touched, he almost cried.

As for the baby's name, Margie said they are in no rush to naming the baby. She will just call him little cutie guy for now. Because many reporters have beening waiting outside her room the past few days, it has been very difficult for Margie to visit her baby. Before meeting with the press this afternoon, she has only gotten the chance to see her son once. From what she remembers, the baby looks more like her husband, but later Margie said the baby looks like both of them.

Margie is told about a specialist predicting that the baby will bring his parents good luck as well as possessing qualities to become an artiste when he grows up. Margie said she will let her son choose his own career, but she hopes he will not choose to be in the entertainment industry.

Prior to going into labour, Margie always brought along three items with her whenever she leaves the home. The first item is a suitcase, the second is a camcorder, and the third is a Baby's Box. A Baby's Box is for storing the embryological cord which can be kept frozen for many years. Should her child become ill later in life, the blood from the embryological cord can be used to save his life. Of course, she hopes that she will never have to use it.

Margie confirmed that she will choose to breast her baby and is not afraid that her figure will change because of that. She believe she will not have trouble losing weight since she plans to take care of the baby herself. That alone will take up alot of time and energy.

Margie's older brother, who is a doctor at Ma Lai Hospital, is often seen entering his sister's hospital room. He reassures everyone that Margie is not ill. The reason for his frequent visits is because he has to deliver food to his sister. After giving birth, Margie has a very good appetite, besides the regular hospital meals, she has to eat porridge as well as a couple of BBQ pork buns. He also said that the baby's health is improving even though some womb fluid has got into his lungs. Seeing the reporters working so hard, Margie's brother tried to convince them to go for supper and not wait outside Margie's room anymore. He said even though he's a doctor, his job is not a tiring as the reporters'.

Margie Tsang gave birth to a 8 lb baby at Yan On Hospital in Sha Tin on January 1 at 2:00 in the afternoon. Inorder to escape from the media's questioning, Margie and her newborn baby left in the middle of the night to transfer to a hospital in Hong Kong Island. Although she tried to be as discreet as possible, she was still discovered by the reporters. In the end, Margie agreed to be interviewed about how she felt being be a new mother. Her husband was by her side the whole time and even recorded the giving birth process using a camcorder.

When the reporters heard that Margie has already went into labour, they immediately rushed to Yan On Hospital. Unfortunately, they were told by the hospital staff that Margie has left the hospital. One of the reason being that she has already been found out the the reporters. Margie's older brother, a doctor at Yan On Hospital, told reporters that Margie wanted to keep a low profile and did not want to be interviewed. The reporters then remembered that Margie has another brother who is a doctor at Ma Lai Hospital in Hong Kong Island. They decided to try their luck at Ma Lai to see if they could find Margie. After some searching, the reporters found out that Margie was indeed at Ma Lai and was staying in a first class room. In order to be discreet, she refused to accept any flowers or gifts. Margie's husband, mother in law, and some friends started to arrive at one the afternoon to visit. Smiling the whole time, Margie's husband Stephen could not hide his happiness.

About 3 pm, Margie was brought to see the baby in a wheelchair. She still looked swelled up and very tired. When she saw that reporters were taking pictures, she immediately asked them not to as she is not in her best appearence. But she was cooperative by letting the reporters interview her.

Margie said that although she used local anesthesia to reduce the pain, she said the process was very painful, it hurted so much she cannot describe it. If she were to rate the pain, would be a 10. She was in labour for 10 hours before the baby was born. Margie was asked if her husband was by her side to give her support? She said that he was recording the whole process on a video camcorder, he looked very scared, and if she had grabbed on to him when she screamed, he would be in more pain than her. Because the anesthesia did not completely fade away, she felt very dizzy after giving birth. Margie said that she will breast feed the baby because people tell her it's much healthier for the baby. She has not thought about having a second child yet.

Margie gained 40 pounds before giving birth, however she does not want to tell how much she weights now. Her husband was close by with a camcorder in his hands, ready to shoot more videos of his adorable new son. When reporters suggested that the three take a family picture together, Stephen refused saying he did not want pictures of his son exposed until he reaches one month old.

Margie's brother and Stephen later explained that the reason Margie tranferred to a different hospital was because some of the fluid from the womb has got into the baby's lungs, (Ma Lai Hospital specializes in lung and heart treatments), however, the condition has gotten better and the baby is now in good health. They told reporters that Margie will hold a press conference at a later date to share her joy with the media.

[Jen: From Oriental Daily today, Margie was very unhappy that Apple had printed those pictures of her in the newspaper even though they agreed not to. Its totally understand since she had just endured 10 painful hours in the delivery room. So... we have decided not to put those pictures on the webpage since Margie is so against it. ]

It's a boy!
Congratulations! Margie gave birth to a healthy baby boy! Although Margie's due date was in late December, many well meaning friends hoped that she would have the baby on midnight of New Years Eve, so the baby could be the first to be born in the year 1999. However Margie did not considered having a C-Section to bring to baby into the world earlier. As a result, the baby arrived several days later than expected. The white and chubby 8 lb. baby was born on Jan.1 at 2:00 pm in Hong Kong. Margie was accompanied by her husband Stephen Lam early yesterday morning to go into labour. Stephen anxiously waited outside the delivery room the whole time and when he was given the good news, he immediately rushed into the delivery room. Stephen has always been a low key person and was not ready answer all the questions reporters had for him. But it was obvious he was very delighted about being a father for the first time. Because Margie gave natural birth, she was very tired after the baby was born. She hopes to recouperate first before she tells everyone how she feels about being a mother for the first time. All the reporters were very understanding and wished that Margie get a good rest before she meets with the public again.
