Kayly Loh has become a mum.<\/p>\n
In an Instagram post today (July 28), the 38-year-old local actress announced the good news: “He’s home. We’ve spent months preparing our home for him, thinking we still had a little more time.<\/p>\n
“But he had other plans and decided he was ready to meet us a little earlier. The funny thing is… even if he had waited until his due date, I don’t think I would’ve ever felt ready.<\/p>\n
“Because nothing can truly prepare you for the moment you walk through your front door carrying your child for the very first time.”<\/p>\n
She added in her Instagram Story that her baby boy, known as Baby G, had arrived about two weeks earlier than expected.<\/p>\n
Kayly’s celebrity friends were ecstatic, with radio DJ Hazelle Teo tagging actresses Tay Ying and Denise Camillia Tan, writing: “Your aunties cannot wait to see you already.”<\/p>\n

Kayly, who married commercial director Jonathan Chong in 2021, announced her pregnancy in March<\/a>, sharing that their baby was conceived through in vitro fertilisation (IVF).<\/p>\n
In April, she recounted her IVF journey<\/a>, revealing she was “terrified of the injections”. However, after years of trying to have a child naturally, it was their only option.<\/p>\n
She also revealed other challenges she faced, including developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and bloating, which made it hard for her to fit into her outfits.<\/p>\n

Kayly and Chong recently had their babymoon in western Sichuan, China, where she revealed they “forgot” they were expecting a child<\/a> and drove up a mountain for six hours to stay in a hotel with serene views, only to be advised by the manager that they shouldn’t be there in her condition.<\/p>\n
The hotel sat at a 3,800-metre altitude, and while Kayly felt fine, she said the risk of altitude sickness during pregnancy wasn’t worth taking.<\/p>\n
In the end, they drove six hours back down, settled in a hotel in Mount Emei and still had a good time: “Not the babymoon we planned but probably the babymoon we needed.”<\/p>\n
