##### July 12th, 1998

<p style="text-indent:2em">Margie Tsang was invited to be the MC for a campaign for fighting asthma. This is the first time Margie met with the public since news of her pregnancy broke out.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Maybe because she was wearing a black dress and because she has always been slim, Margie's stomach is only slightly bigger even though she is 4 months pregnant.

She claims that her appetite has decreased alot, she use to eat 2-3 bowls of rice each meal before she was pregnant. Margie said that she doesn't feel pregnant because her stomach is not yet very big and that she doesn't get morning sickness.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">The reason Margie agreed to be MC is because her brother is the consulting doctor for the asthma campaign. Although her brother is a doctor, Margie does not want him to deliver her baby because she feels that having a baby is a very personal thing and it would be better if she asked another doctor to deliver the baby.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Because she haven't taken up the job of MC for a period of time, Margie's performance that day was not as good as before but the citizens still likes her and asked for her autograph.

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

##### January 3rd, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">[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. ]</p>

##### January 4th, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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?'</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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'.</p>

##### January 5th, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

##### January 9th, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">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.</p>

##### February 1st, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">Last night was Margie's son ªL ¯E ½å one month old birthday. To celebrate, Margie and husband Stephen Lam held a birthday party for their little darling at the Golden Harbour Yacht Club. Attendants were mainly close family and friends including Anita Mui, James Wong, Yammie Lam, Chu Wai San, and Sandra Ng.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Thought Margie wanted it to be a quiet celebration, many reporters heard the scoop and showed up at the party. Unable to avoid the media, Margie fulfilled the reporters wishes and agreed to an interview during the dinner party.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Margie said that since leaving the hospital she has been taking care of the baby everyday, she doesn't even have time to do exercise to lose weight. She says that she really feels a strong sense of motherly love towards her son, even her husband could not believe that she can handle taking care of the baby all by herself. She would not even let the maids give her any help.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Reporter: So has your husband given you any help? Margie: Not in terms of actual physical help, but I am already very touched by his emotional support. Actually I have babysit for my sister before, so I'm quite good at caring for babies. Reporter: You've been working so hard lately, how much weight have you lost so far? Margie: I've been so busy, I don't even have time to weigh myself. Although taking care of the baby is alot of hard work, it is worth it everytime I see my baby smile at me. I just forget about any tireness I feel!</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Anita brought two gifts last night, one was a baby blanket and the other was jewelery for the baby. She hopes Ho Yin will grow up to be kind and considerate to his parents.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">On Margie's son ªL ¯E ½å (Lam Ho Yin) month old birthday, Mr. and Mrs. Lam threw a birthday bash for their darling and invited friends and family to celebrate.

Holding the baby in her arms, Yammie says it feels like holding a little puppy. Because she had to take care of the baby, Margie has not been able to sleep well at night in the past month. She has not even started to diet and already she is losing weight. She says that caring for the baby is alot of work, she hopes that he will not be bad when he grows up. Margie's husband is greatful for his wife and promises to work harder to earn more money.</p>

##### February 15th, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">After a month of rest, Margie took many beautiful pictures of her son and family photos to share with everyone. Ho Yin is a well behaved baby, he was breast feed the day he was born but it is very tiring so Margie switched to baby formulas after 2 weeks of breast feeding. ‘Ho Yin, he looks exactly like his father! Only his chin resembles a bit of me.' Although the baby looks more like her husband, Margie is not the least bit jealous. Though ultrasound, Margie knew she was carrying a baby boy before Ho Yin was born. ‘I am not very concern whether my first child is a boy or girl because I plan on having another baby next year.' In having children, Margie feels no pressure at all, in fact she is loved and spoiled by her husband and family. ‘My brother and I are very close in age, so we have always been close. When I was pregnant, he was very excited and concerned for me.' Actually, Margie grew up in a family of doctors, beside her brothers, her father is also doctor who practice Western medicine. Margie being pregnant was indeed big news for the Tsang family, they held meetings discussing the methods of giving birth and which would be the most comfortable way. ‘My brother's girlfriend is a gynecologist, so she is very knowledgeable about what pregnant women goes through in labor. I have chosen to give natural birth because I‘m afraid of surgery. I went in for a minor surgery last year to have my appendix removed and the wound was very sharp after the anesthetic went away. Another reason is I want to be conscious when my baby is born, I do not want to miss the opportunity in seeing his birth. Ho Yin was very comfortable in his mother's womb, and thus arrived a few days later than his Dec. 29 th due date. ‘I was told by many people that I should have my baby on the 1st of January because it would be very glorious to give birth to the year's first baby. It did not mattered to me when the baby was born as long as he is healthy.' However, the soon to be aunts and uncles were getting very impatient. ‘On Dec. 31th, my brothers and sisters all came over to my place to have a fondue party. They said they want to make a lot of noise so the baby would come out because he is too comfortable in there.' That night, the baby was indeed awaken by all the noise and Margie was brought to the hospital at 3 in the morning. Margie gave birth in the most loving and comfortable surrounding. ‘My brother's girlfriend went into the delivery room with me and my husband recorded the process on a camcorder. However, he only recorded my facial expressions and not the most important moment. I think it's better this way, at least it is easier on him. He later told me that he was actually very scared.' Once the baby was born Margie forgot about all the pain she went through. ‘It's like I'm in a dream. Ho Yin has been born a month already and I still cannot accept the fact that I gave birth to a child. It's all very magical, how come I became pregnant with a baby.... he is produced by my husband and I.... he is my child.....' The birth of the baby has changed Margie's lifestyle. She know understands the greatest of parent hood. ‘The baby became hungry very quickly when he was fed breast milk. Despite all the reporters in the hospital, I had to make many trips to the infant ward each day to feed him. It is a lie if I say its not bothersome. Although everyone was very nice to me at the hospital, I did not want to disturb other patients, that's why I opted to leave the hospital early.' Ho Yin's arrival not only brought happiness to the family, is also changed Margie's personality. ‘Before I was a person who would not tolerate bothersome matters, now I am sensitive to Ho Yin's very moment.' Even Ho Yin's dad does not have the same kind of authority. ‘Although I have always put in my best effort, I was never ambitious enough towards my career. Now that Ho Yin is here, I cannot leave him behind even more.' When Ho Yin sleeps, Margie also takes the opportunity to rest. ‘My close friends have been wanting to visit me, but I am very honest by turning them down. I tell them they do not have to be polite since we have know each other for so long, let me get some more rest and there would be many opportunities to meet.' Therefore, this is the first time Ho Yin officially meets with everyone.</p>

##### March, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">Already a full-time housewife, Margie appeared at yesterday's press conference supporting originality out of gratitude to James Wong. She said: 喰ow can I turn down uncle James's invitation? I will make appearance even if I'm fat as a pig.' Of course, Margie did not look like a pig. Although Margie has gained some weight after giving birth, she has already successfully lost more than 20 lbs through diet and exercise. She is now only 5 lbs. away from her ideal weight of 115 lbs.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Many couples are hoping to produce a new millennium baby in the coming year, has Margie decided to join the crowd and give birth to another baby next year? She admits to wanting a baby girl, but will let nature take its course on when this will happen. There is no need to intentionally make plans since her son is only 3 months old, she should give him more time and love. After becoming a mother Margie said that she has matured considerably. Before she would go out everyday, but after having a baby she could stay home all day and even feel guilty if she leaves for a few hours to go out for dinner.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Although she has changed occupation (from actress to housewife), Margie stressed that she has never said to retire because ultimately she is a modern women who do not want to waste her youth doing nothing. So if the timing is right and the work is appropriate, she will definitely consider accepting new assignments.</p>

##### April, 1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">Margie is happier than ever since becoming a mother. She frequently goes shopping to buy new clothes for her son, buying more than 10 outfits each time. Since babies grow so fast, he may not be able to wear all them all. But Margie cannot account for that now, she will buy first and worry later! Although taking care of her son is very tiring, sometimes even more tiring than acting. But there is joy coming out of the tiriness of being a mother, that is how Margie look so radiant all the time. Margie also recieved some unexpected surprise after having a baby, that is her chest size increased by one inch. She jokingly said that at this rate she can lose her previous nickname of "airplane runway" after one or two more babies.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Margie took the opportunity to stock up on a lot of new clothes for her son while she attended the grand opening of a boutique yesterday.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">She reveals that she hopes to have another baby by the end of next year because next year is the year of the dragon, she hopes to produce a baby dragon girl or boy. After that she will have one more baby, she wishes to have a total of 3 children.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">She is not worried about ruining her figure because she has almost loss all the weight she gained from having her first baby. She is currently only 5 pounds heavier than before. However, she is still quite disgusted by her round belly and flabbly upper arms.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Margie stressed that she did not intentionally try to lose weight. Her weight loss is mainly the result of taking care of her son and quitting rice and fatty foods. Margie loves eating rice, she could eat 2-3 bowls a meal, so it was quite difficult at first. But for the sake of beauty, she had to resist from eating rice. She then said that this is a very frustrating matter since she used to be the type who could not get fat even if she were drenched in oil. She never had to worry about dieting and could not believe that this is now happening to her. As to wheather her husband prefer her to be chubbier to skinnier, Margie said that he has never expressed his preference. But there was a period of time when she only weighed ninety some pounds and he complained that she was too skinny.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Her figure aside, Margie said that raising a child brings her lots of joy. She tells about the time her son had a "boo boo" right in the middle of his bath. Though she could not believe how he could have done this, she thought it was very amusing and took a picture of the incident. Afterwards she showed it to some friends and they scolded her for such insane behavior. If it were someone else's kid, she would have thought it was sickening too, but its different when its your own. Margie claims every mother is like that!</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Margie and Chu Wai San jokingly claimed that they voluntary agreed to be the guest hosts for the 1999 Mr. Hong Kong Pagent because it is fun to work with a bunch of guys. After a long period of rest, Margie appeared at the Mr. Hong Kong promotional activities put on by ATV yesterday. While interviewing contestant No. 9 Margie praised that he is handsome and he in return he tried to dazzle her with his eyes. As she didn't expect this, Margie's face turned red. Seeing this, the reporters teased Margie about being embarassed by the contestant's flirting. Of course Margie tried to deny it saying that: "I am now a mother, there is nothing I haven't seen, there is nothing to be embarassed about!"</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">For that night's show, Margie has especially bought a custom made evening gown with a hand painted design on it. She said that since is receiving a paycheck for the show she will return the favour by wearing a nice dress. While she is satified with the salary she is getting, Margie feels that the important thing is she is having fun working on this pageant with her good friend Chu Wai San. Both Margie and Chu Wai San feels that No. 6, 8, and 1 have a good chance at winning the title Mr. Hong Kong</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Aloe vera products is becoming quite a trend in Hong Kong, not only is it found in comestic products and health foods, but now even in diapers. Margie is one of the consumer of this newly launched product. Margie's son has been using Pampers brand diapers since he was born. Now that Pampers introduced this new line of diapers and is sponsoring her son's supply of Pampers, Margie has switched to using this new product.</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">Every mother wants the best for her child, just like Margie, who would call home several times a day to ask the maid if the baby is alright. Because she does not want her children to have a big age gap, Margie is hoping to having another baby very soon. Margie wants to have another child since she is still young, or even three children in total! She said that way the children will not feel lonely and if two gets into a fight, the third child can be the referee. Many people are hoping to have a baby in the new millenium year; Margie's view on this is there is possibility that she will have a millenium baby.</p>

##### 曾華倩誕八磅男嬰老公最高興，難掩喜悅 -- OrientalNews（Jan。2）

<p style="text-indent:2em">恭喜！恭喜！曾華倩昨日在香港誕下麟兒，成為九九年娛樂圈第一宗喜事，在此祝華倩個BB快高長大，精叻過人。華倩預產期原是十二月底，身邊好友事前都希望華倩的BB可以在元旦零時搶閘出世，做香港九九年第一個BB，但華倩只想順其自然，沒有計畫擇時剖腹產子。終於BB要在媽咪肚內橫跨兩年，比預產期遲了數日，於昨日元旦下午二時出世，重八磅多，肥肥白白。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">華倩昨晨由丈夫林肇基陪同下到醫院待產，林肇基一直在產房外等候，當接到BB出世的消息後，即緊張的衝入產房。由於林肇基一向低調，對記者之發問未肯多作回應，但仍難掩初為人父之喜悅，步出產房時開心的告訴記者：「母子平安！」記者立即向他道賀。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">至於剛剛生完BB之華倩，因順產關係用了太多氣力，感覺好疲倦，表示希望養足精神才談及初為人母之心情，記者亦予以體諒，不想對華倩造成任何騷擾，希望華倩盡快充電，跟她第一個BB仔出來跟大家見見面。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">曾華倩曾是電視台青春花旦，眾人偶像。周師傅指BB命格是「傷官透出」，有藝術天分，如果唔做專業人士，可選擇從事演藝事業，在二十五至卅歲左右走紅，銀色生命可長達十年之久。</p>

##### 曾華倩愛子胎水入肺轉院 -- OrientalNews（Jan。3）

<p style="text-indent:2em">昨日被本報率先披露誕下麟兒的曾華倩，由於兒子出世時胎水入肺引致咳嗽，所以要轉到瑪麗醫院接受治療。由於華倩秘密轉院，令到不少專程探華倩的傳媒撲空。記者昨日繼續跟進這位媽咪之最新狀況，華倩兩位好友吳君如、朱慧珊在昨午就獲知地點，所以即時前往探這位元旦媽咪。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">由於初時尚未接觸到華倩及其丈夫，惟有轉問君如有關華倩母子情況，君如好興奮謂：「華倩精神幾好，名就未改｛……不過佢老公話BB『度』好大，我自己就仲未見到BB呀！」嘩……BB咁細已經咁「偉大」，長大一定出人頭地做偉人咯！</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">由於華倩新搬進的醫院，BB房是在隔籬一座，昨早這位媽咪一早便跑往見BB，豈料當她返回產房時，即發生不愉快事件；事關華倩埋怨某報未有守諾言，偷拍了她產後樣子，令她大動肝火。事緣本報前日採訪剛生完BB的華倩時，為應華倩要求，整個採訪過程都不拍照，惟某報昨早見華倩一出產房，欲舉機拍攝時被華倩及時阻止，事後亦答應不拍照，可是當華倩探完BB返產房時，甫出電梯便被人「不守諾言」地偷拍，令她相當不滿。</p>

##### 曾華倩為兒就範接受產後訪問 -- OrientalNews（Jan。4）

<p style="text-indent:2em">何Ｂ仔特別大？</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">因為BB未改名，華倩暫用「靚仔」這個暱稱來叫兒子，問華倩BB係咪契君如？華倩謂：「我自己篤信觀音，所以準備將BB過契俾觀音，相信君如唔會詐型……（聽講BB『何B仔』好大喎？）……呢咁尷尬又私人問題……點答呀，哈哈……係比平常大啦，講笑！（BB似邊個？）似老竇多，唉……應該係我混合體！」記者轉頭問華倩老公點報答老婆為他咁辛苦生個仔？他說：「要乜都俾啦！」華倩搭嘴話：「咁問佢會話遲送番個女俾我（咁你想唔想湊個『好』字？）唔……遲先啦！」</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">華倩陣痛十多小時誕下麟兒，嗌到聲都變埋，華倩老公感動到想喊，華倩又話到虛脫，見到BB第一個反應：「點解咁大隻！」華倩又極力推介一種新科技，俗稱「寶寶盒」，她表示：「當生完BB，抽出臍帶血保存在『寶寶盒』內，如果BB或親人有事，可以有個保障，不過TouchWood先！」</p>

##### 曾華倩食完粥又要叉燒包 -- OrientalNews（Jan。4）

##### 暫留兒子在醫院曾華倩先回家休息 -- OrientalNews（Jan。5）

<p style="text-indent:2em">剛於元旦誕下男嬰的曾華倩，於昨晚七時左右出院，由於覺得BB留在醫院會較為方便照顧，故昨晚由丈夫林肇基接她一人出院。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">林先生約於下午五時許到達醫院，先與華倩同往探望兒子及餵奶，約兩小時之後再折回病房執拾東西，其向記者表示BB健康，只是於餵奶前幫BB換片時，小生命竟然將一堆「禮物」送給雙親，加上兩人均是首次為BB換片，導致出現雞手鴨腳的情況，到餵完奶後，BB又將「禮物」送給兩位，令兩人狼狽不堪。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">問到華倩為何不與BB一同出院時，她表示，連日來被傳媒追訪，令致未有好好休息，本來其好友吳君如昨日亦打算探望，亦因太疲倦而拒絕，遂決定先出院回家，相信家中才是最佳的休息地方。而BB暫留在院中，估計數天內便會出院。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">華倩更表示，現時並不太急為BB改名，因尚有一個月的時間，故暫時仍會以靚仔來稱呼兒子。華倩更透露，現正與丈夫考慮是否擺滿月酒，因自己向來低調，二來又怕會請漏客人。但她答應待BB滿月後將會讓記者照個「全家福」。</p>

##### 君如華倩放下心頭石 -- OrientalNews（April）

<p style="text-indent:2em">曾華倩﹑吳君如昨日一起前往探望相識十多年的老友藍潔瑛﹐因為兩人見到某些報章形容到藍潔瑛病況十分嚴重﹐所以甚為擔心﹐特地相約探望﹐希望能為其解心結。不過﹐昨日探望完後﹐君如說﹕「（藍潔瑛）真的冇事﹐精神好好﹐一直嚷著要出院﹐所以該些傳言應是搞錯了。藍潔瑛說只是因感心口不適心跳快才會報警﹐希望入院休息。」但因何會入住精神科﹐她們就不清楚﹐而繼續留院只是醫生建議作全身檢查﹐腦掃描很平常﹐希望外界別有太多幻想。原本是小事卻變成大件事﹐令到身邊朋友﹑家人都好緊張。現在見過對方可放下心頭大石。她表示﹐對方現時不知幾正常﹐相比之下她與華倩更有問題。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">君如﹑華倩均認為外間常指藍潔瑛舉止失常或言行古怪﹐其實對方從小到大性格都是大情大性﹐而藝人又有幾個不是情緒化﹖說其說話倔﹐根本她們三個人都屬同一種性格﹐她們一直都了解﹐不覺有何異樣。對方也不是傷心憔悴或瘦﹐只要化一個靚妝就回復美艷。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">華倩透露﹐最近見藍潔瑛是一月三十一日其子滿月那日﹐對方都非常開心。日前才通過電話﹐閒話家常。至於君如則曾邀對方到其節目﹐不過時間配合不到仍未成事而已。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">記者問二人有否帶來一些物品給對方﹐以鼓勵其更振作﹖如譚詠麟則帶「淨化空間」之ＣＤ給藍潔瑛聽﹐君如笑言﹕「阿倫送心經佛歌就得﹐幾驚他是送自己的ＣＤ﹐不如上我節目打歌啦﹗」她們均稱朋友之關心﹐已令藍潔瑛夠開心。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">？從曾華倩生仔之後，心情不知幾愉快，成日行街街買靚衫畀仔仔，一掃就十幾套衫仔，仔仔咁快高長大，都唔知唔得晒，不過，華倩唔理咁多，買先算。華倩話，雖然湊仔好辛苦，有時搞到無覺好，仲辛苦過拍戲，但做媽咪有做媽咪樂趣，幾辛苦都會容光煥發，況且華倩仲因為生仔之後有意外收穫，梗開心啦！「呢個收穫係我上圍大一吋，哈哈，如果再生多一、兩個，我就可以擺脫以前『飛機華』花名！」</p>

##### 險被港男電倒曾華倩面紅耳赤 NewsfromMingPao（June1999）影視 一九九九年六月二十五日星期五

<p style="text-indent:2em">原來不只在女性﹐在林祖輝眼中也同樣看好以上三位﹐雖然是第一次見面﹐祖輝已感覺到有港男比較扮嘢﹐他認為選港男最重要是內涵﹐做回自己已很足夠了。</p>

<p style="text-indent:2em">雖然沒有指名道姓﹐但據他的形容﹐９杜挺豪最大機會是祖輝所指的扮嘢港男﹐不過對於扮嘢﹐杜挺豪並不認同﹐強調只是做回自己。問到華倩也被他的一雙電眼電倒﹖杜挺豪說﹐他從來沒有刻意電人﹐望着對方講話是禮貌﹐也從來沒有人說過他有一對電眼﹐所以對此感到莫名其妙。文﹕賈如</p>

##### 曾華倩個仔特別矜貴用蘆薈尿片PatPat滑滑 -- NewsJuly1999

<p style="text-indent:2em">一般初生BB最易患上尿疹，所以父母在呵護BB屁股仔時要注意清潔之餘，更搜刮新產品，最近就有不少藝人紛紛採用一種首創蘆薈紙尿片。</p>
