Underwent surgery to remove womb fibroids

Previously, Sim told CNA Lifestyle that she had discovered fibroids in her womb in the process of trying to conceive.

The actress underwent surgery to remove the fibroids in August 2019, and successfully conceived within half a year.

In the posts leading up to her delivery, Sim thanked her husband for putting in his 100 per cent in taking care of her.

"With you by my side, it's really blissful. I'm very grateful that I married you in this lifetime," she wrote in Chinese.
