Pihla Penttinen will soon celebrate her firstborn’s first birthday.
Actor Pihla Penttinen has returned to work after maternity leave.
Among others, Penttinen, 43, who is familiar from Putius and the Sunday lunch comedy series, and his actress Santtu Karvonen, 42, had their firstborn children at last year’s Midsummer.
The road to parenting was not easy. The desired child of nine years was eventually obtained through a gift cell. He will soon turn a year.
Pihla Penttinen’s long-term desire for motherhood came true. Jenni Gästgivar
– It’s been absurd, in every sense of the word. Really expected, lovely and happy. It is incomprehensible how a baby is suddenly a small child who makes contact and fuss about everything, says Penttinen from her first year as a mother.
– Sometimes there has been fatigue and unreasonably heavy. I’ve learned to take time for myself too, but it’s not easy.
According to the moment
Motherhood has taught Pentti to live in the moment and trust her own instincts. There are an endless number of tips and tricks for new parents, but you can’t fully cling to them.
– There are huge instructions on how to make a child eat, sleep and otherwise function perfectly. I have found that it is more important to just be for your child and act for a moment.
Penttinen has also shared his thoughts on infertility on his Instagram account. Both my own close circle and Some have become a lot of support for this painful topic.

– Our close circle has always supported us and been really encouraging. In Some, I have received peer support from people who have contacted me. It’s been really important, he says.
When Penttis is asked what he would like to say to others who have had infertility, he ponders for a moment.
– It’s such a big deal that it can’t be summed up in one sentence. But there are a lot of us here and hopefully we can act as a light for each other, he notes.

The film, which arrives in theaters in the fall, is an actor Kari Ketosen first control. Penttinen praises working with Ketonen.
