Hot news: Diva Thanh Lam almost lost her mother when she was born
A mother's intuition helped Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong avoid having her baby swapped by the woman in her room when she gave birth to Thanh Lam 47 years ago.
In recent days, public opinion has been concerned about cases of adopting and raising the wrong child for many years. The story of Mrs. Nguyen Mai Hanh, who for more than 40 years quietly cared for and kept secret the truth about her daughter who was mistaken for her at birth, has moved and sympathized the public.
In the art world, a similar case once happened to diva Thanh Lam herself. If it weren’t for a mother’s intuition, Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong would not have recognized the right child.
Thanh Lam’s biological mother recalled that she gave birth to her daughter in 1969. A woman in the same room also gave birth to a daughter at the same time as her. When receiving the baby from the doctor, Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong felt a mixture of happiness and nervousness. However, when she held the baby in her arms, she had a feeling that it was not her child.
"Giving birth back then was very different from now. A mother had to wait 24 hours after giving birth to hold her baby. Doctors would put a necklace around each newborn's neck to mark it. This could lead to confusion," Ms. Huong recalled.

At that time, this event caused a stir in the hospital. The zither artist insisted on "not recognizing the child", making the doctors and nurses uncomfortable. "You have never seen your child, how dare you say that it is not your child" - she recalled the doctor's doubts.
"At that time, I was young and naive. Everyone kept talking about a female artist who refused to accept her newborn child. However, a mother's intuition is never wrong. A mother's senses are very important, she can feel the love for the child she gave birth to" - Meritorious Artist said.
Having to wait another day (nearly 48 hours), Mrs. Huong was able to hold Thanh Lam, her real daughter. As fate would have it, the doctor in charge of the delivery that day confirmed. Thanh Lam was born naturally so there were no dents on her head like the child given to his wife.musician Thuan Yenat first
Doctors who directly delivered Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong confirmed that the woman who shared the delivery room before Ms. Huong had switched babies. Ms. Huong said: “The newborn babies were all cared for in the same room. The necklace was the only thing that marked whose child they were. The woman who shared the hospital room with me had switched the necklaces of my child and her child.”
According to the story of diva Thanh Lam's mother, this woman has given birth to her third child, all of which are girls. Besides, because her biological child was breastfed, she was afraid that she would become mentally ill and her husband would abandon her. Even though she had to wait a long time to hold her child, Mrs. Huong did not blame or want to make a big deal out of it. On the contrary, she sympathized and felt sorry for that woman.

Ms. Huong shared: "It seems that after my mistaken child incident, the hospital started to make changes in the way it performs deliveries. Instead of having to wait 24 hours, mothers can receive their children immediately after birth. People also do not wear necklaces but have other forms of identification."
Diva Thanh Lam's mother also shared more about the cases of mistaken children that the media has reported in recent days. "Mothers, especially those who have just given birth, have a sixth sense. They can feel their real child. Thinking about the cases of mistaken children that the press has mentioned in recent times, I feel sorry and a bit confused. Why can't they feel the child they gave birth to?"
Thinking back to the story of the child swap that happened 50 years ago still makes Mrs. Huong emotional. She feels lucky and happy to have raised Thanh Lam, who became one of the famous singers of Vietnamese pop music. "If she had mistakenly recognized her child, there would not be the diva Thanh Lam who is loved by the audience like now."
She added that the special instinct of a mother seems to have been "inherited" to Thanh Lam. Now Meritorious Artist Thanh Huong is the grandmother of two grandchildren, Thien Thanh and Dang Quang. "Thanh Lam is a thoughtful mother and very good at taking care of her children. Despite her hot temper, Lam also pampers and guides her children carefully and meticulously" - the diva's mother affectionately said about her first child.
