In my country, I've seen hotels that give only a bed and bathroom more expensive! This is incredible!

I’m convinced this channel is just South Korea recruiting people to move there

Here in the Netherlands, you're at home, but a lovely doula type person comes to your home every day for 8 hours. They do all the housework. They bring you tea in bed. They tell your visitors it's time to leave if you want. They weigh the baby and check it. They check the baby's bed and car seat. They teach you breast feeding. It's just like if your mum was a lovely baby nurse and came over to look after you everyday. It's the freaking best. Length depends on a lot of things but from 3-14 days and it's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT FREE!

Meanwhile my grandma bitched about me to my ex mother-in-law that I wasn’t doing the dishes and folding my laundry. The week I had my twins.I’m happy Korea is all about children and mothers.

In the US we're just like "lmao good luck, now get out"

I mean $100-$200/night isn't bad for all that included its like a new moms retreat and honestly to have that kinda support and to make moms mental health the #1 priority postpartum is truly worth every penny if you ask me! The US should implement somthing like this the Jobs alone it would create would be so beneficial and I feel like it would truly help those struggling mommas to have that kinda support so soon after child birth, especially first time moms and moms who don't have the support of a partner cause the first few weeks home are BRUTAL, this is such a smart way to combat that.. I'm curious what the postpartum depression statistics I south Korea vs. The US are... somthing tells me they're much lower in south korea!

I SO needed this after my C-section! My baby was a premie and he wouldn't latch. I was so stressed and fatigued from trying and had no help at home bc my husband tool all his allowed time off beforehand bc of my bedrest complications. I always look back on that time with sadness. The U.S. needs MAJOR REFORM and fund maternity (pre and post partum) support services instead of sending weapons of war to other countries!

Despite of this fantastic facility for postpartum care, S.Korea has the world's lowest birth rate.

Dang if Australia had that mums would stay there forever 😂 Dang thx for all the likes

In Sweden, where I’m from, you give birth them go home, basically, (unless you have a c-section or any other problems). Furthermore paid maternity and paternity leave in Sweden are very long, like 16 months per parents.

I saw a comment over the Netherlands but it isn't fully explainend. Homebirths are quite common but we are a small country in most occasions you live arround a 10min drive from a hospital if needed. We have good quilified midwifes who assist you during you're pregnancy, birth and postpartum. They do take a step back if you turn medical. But you can always call them for emotional support or questions. In the hospital you get a lot of staff change so you don't have the same trust level as with you're midwife. Even though they are skilled. You can give birth at home, in a birthing hotel or in the hospital all with you're own midwife. When there are no complications you are send home just mere hours after birth. The midwife will visit you in the first week after birth a couple times and a checkup 6 weeks postpartum in between you can always call them if needed. Also it is common to have a caregiver in the house who checks on you and you're baby, teaches how to take care of you're child, helps with breastfeeding, warns you about things like shake a babysyndroom etc, helps around in the householding stuff (laundry, changing sheets, cleaning, cooking) and just make shure mom gets enough rest. As for maturnal leave it's 16 weeks with 6 to 4 weeks prior birth and always at minumum 10 weeks after (if you gave birth past due date). The partner gets a 1 week after birth and then 6 weeks for 70% income. Then there is since august a parental leave for 9 weeks for 70% income. The Netherlands did a lot of good changes over the past 5 years for partner and parental leave. Before that the partner got just 2 days.

Im half korean half maroccain but i dont know anything about korean culture because my mom was arrested when i was young so watching her videos to learn more about my culture is so amazing to me. Thank you

And because you don't have to pay the hospital an entire years worth of rent, you can afford to go to these recovery places. Magnificent.

My mom stayed for like 12 hours after she had all her kids. She is a nurse and hates being in the hospital as a patient. We were all a month premature too and I had jaundice but that didn’t stop my parents from dipping ASAP 😅

Aside from the obvious, having a kid in the US requires taking out a second mortgage the other reason is US hospitals are concerned about antibiotic resistant infections. They want to minimize anyone staying if they can get the same care from home. Personally, I'd like this to come with more home visits by medical professionals but our health care system is a joke so that won't happen

In the US, my insurance covered 3 days after the baby was born. So it didn't matter if you labored for 2 days, those 2 days plus 3 are covered. For my first baby i did stay, but for the second I wanted to be home as soon as possible. I just like being home.

Sounds like a great way to get started on motherhood and to avoid the scary questions that you have no one to ask also may help with the postpartum depression depression absolutely love it thank you for sharing💙

Canadian here. I had a c section and I was excited when my surgeon cleared me after 26 hours. My husband got 8 weeks off paid by the government. I didn't want to stay in the hospital. I had a midwife that came to me for all the baby checks she even removed my staples. It was my second c-section so I knew how to take care of myself and my baby. It was wonderful not having to stay in the hospital longer than was necessary.

Meanwhile, in the US, your insurance carrier will call you before you leave the hospital to ask how you intend to pay the bills. 🤔🤯

We are still in the dark ages when it comes to caring for new moms in the US :( Pretty disgusting since it's the foundational for us - even dogs get more time with their newborns! - it affects the health & mental health of the mom, kid & thus the family & society. Also gyno in general is pretty abusive to women & causes MANY unnecessary C Sections, which is a major surgery!

After I had my baby I just wanted to be in my own home as soon as possible.

America would just find a way to make this an extremely expensive mandatory institution that women would be frowned upon and judged if they did not partake In.

Life in the 🇺🇸 is great if you have $$$$$$ Cheers from San Diego California

I would have given a lot to have something like this here in my country. This sounds amazing and postpartum is so exhausting and stressful including doing household chores and making food etc., you sometimes just break down and cry. On top of that your body just hurts so much after a c section you can barely move anywhere and aren't allowed to lift more than your own baby.

The culture surrounding the care of mothers after birth is so drastically different. On one side of the world you're shoved into lifelong debt, kicked out on your own and left to deal with whatever youve got going on after that then on the other side there's whole facilities to care for and support mothers reasonably priced for everything you recieve, the attitude and customs centred towards mothers is one of respect and admiration.

I wish that care for women during pregnancy and postpartum was at the same high standard throughout the world.

I’m 6 months postpartum and I truly believe that I could have avoided the unbelievably difficult PPD if I had something like this. I was alone after 3 weeks and my husband worked 2 hours away from our home. We had just moved to a new home and I had no friends or family. This would have saved me. Thankfully, I’m beginning to come out on the other side. I thought I was going to lose that fight.

That's honestly really sad that the men can't be there for their wives and newborns, instead their best option is staying apart from each other.

You’ve convinced me. Not only about how advanced Korea is and how much I’d like to live there for a bit or at least give birth there but also that adorable baby gave me such intense baby fever!!!!! Those little cheekies! The little baby! The small baby! The little baby !!! So small 😭

This is such a good idea - it prevents mums from overstretching themselves postpartum, plus they aren’t tempted to wash up/tidy up and don’t have to look after everyone else! perfect

That's so cool! The 48 hours goes by like a blur and whatever information good doctor's and nurses provide sometimes is not properly retained because we are so exhausted!

Im prone to postpartum depression, as im having depression from my pregnancy already, and i would LOVE if i had an option like that. Being in the US, paternal leave is basically nonexistent unless you get very lucky or have a lot of money, and the thought of having my husband still having to work in that first month our son is here just kills me inside. I have a muscle disorder that affects my legs and back, and being pregnant makes it much much harder to walk than it already was. I depend on him a lot, and i just dont know what ill do when i have to recover without him.

$2,000 for two weeks of care? Dang, that so cheap!

요즘 일부 시.도에는 공공 산후조리원도 생겨서 상대적으로 저렴하게 이용된다더라구요

Back in 1995 in the U.S. , they kicked me to the curb with a 16 hour old baby. I was in the hospital for 23 hrs (shortish labor and spent much of it at home). I asked to stay because I was so anxious and they denied me. Said it was a non complicated birth. My milk hadn't come in and after 5 days home I had a screaming baby that lost a pound because the advice nurse said, "he's getting enough milk". He wasn't. I felt like the worse mom AND I missed our on so much.

In US a lot of women have their mother or other relatives stay for a time to help. This kind of place would be nice for ppl who don’t have family available to help.

Here in the Netherlands, you get the first 7 to 10 days a nurse in your house, who helps with the baby while mom recovers and teaches everything about taking care of the baby. Also helps with older children if there are any. And cooks a meal for the evenings you only have to heat up. It’s amazing 😻

I love that it's an option for those that want and/or need it. Personally I would want to be in my own home, but the fact that this choice is available is so cool.

As an American I'm so very jealous of these other countries policies for post partum care.

This is so cool! I would love to experience this! Wish they had this in the US

I had my son in the US and I had an emergency c-section but they let me go home after 2 days probably because of covid and I wouldn't stop getting up and couldn't sleep there anyway. I think they noticed that I told my nurses I'd rather be home when they would do my evaluations 😅 it was less stressful on me to be home. Although I had to go to a different hospital than planned, my hospital offered all of that, even after you leave you get numbers for on-call hospital specialists like nursing specialists, pediatricians, etc. I was not about any of the yoga or classes but they had them too

Shame…so sad that societies have just neglected family so much that everything is outsourced. In China families do this for each other for 30 days.

That 2 week stay is a equivalent of a lower standard 2-3 day stay in hospital in Kenya. Taking notes. 📝

Dang i would definitely pay for at least a week in there. I could go into labor any time within the next few weeks and im really not looking forward to navigating postpartum 😭

Shows how much Murica cares for women 🙄

Maternity center and postpartum care is so so important for moms to recover! It is no secret them at they want to discourage child birth in the US.

I love this for first moms. However, I’d miss my other babies the whole time. That 2 days is the longest break I can handle.

America: Imagine supporting mothers after childbirth🤣🤣 that would be $50,000 if you leave the same day!

I was born at 5 50 pm, and my mom had to be out of the hospital by 8 the next morning. didn't get much sleep, and barely had any food or care until she was home and had my dad to help her out

I had a C-section and got out of the hospital the day after it. The hospital was too full and in the end it was way better to go back home and have support from my family than to be just my husband and I alone, since no one could visit during covid.

And if we had that in the US, the cost for one night would be the same as the 2 weeks in Korea

Most people here in the Netherlands give birth at home I think, unless there are complications. I'm not completely sure how it works but they usually get help from a midwife who helps a bit before the birth (like weeks or months) with explaining and preparing and after the birth to take some pressure off of the family and explain things like bathing and keeps an eye on everyone involved

In the Netherlands, a nurse comes to your house to help take of you and your baby (and teach you the basics). I think its better because you get to recover in your own home and the dad can actually be involved in the childcare right from the start.

Sounds like a bargain to me!!! What a way to learn from the best and supportive care takers!

I live in a place where 100 dollars would JUST cover a night in a hotel. For all the other stuff? Forget about it! That’s amazing! I would usually support a few weeks of paternity leave tho as long as it’s used for actual mom care and child bonding.

In the Netherlands we have ‘Kraamzorg’. A qualified maternity nurse or health care professional, ‘kraamverzorgster’, comes to the home in order to provide care and instruction for the newborn for the initial eight to 10 days immediately after birth. Kraamzorg care is included in standard health insurance packages in the Netherlands; though, depending on specific policy, a small contribution for each hour of care is expected. Also I’m pretty sure that if a mother experienced complications during labor, that the time a kraamverzorgster stays is longer without any extra cost. But not 100% sure about that one.

Funny she sets this up like this extra care is part of the hospital stay in SK but it’s actually an OUT OF POCKET cost that is NOT part of the hospital stay. In US, dads generally get 2-6 weeks paid time off for paternity leave depending where you work lol. In SK it’s not “socially acceptable”. She does a good job spinning this to make the US sound horrible lol.

I would love to see this series for every country! It’s so interesting !

My family has always done ours at home. With my mom, she moved in with her mom (my Gramma), who helped her tremendously! She also helped to raise us (my lil sis & me) while both my parents worked. My Gramma was born (1901) & raised on a farm. Back then, a lot of people still had their babies at home. A mid-wife or a doctor would make a house call. Older siblings were sometimes present for these births. Mother’s, Grandmothers, Sisters, Aunts & female cousins would often help a new mother. This has always been the way it is in my family. I helped to raise my sister’s two kids, & I even babysit my niece’s son! My lil sis helped my niece (her daughter) thru her first times & is still there for her even though her grandson is ten years old. My nephew has a daughter that lives with her Mother, Grandmother, & various other family members. I suppose this is what it means when they say, “It takes a village to raise a child”. I can’t imagine having it any other way.

You had me till the 'let's not men be present parents.' I like having an active part in my child life and want to be there in the beginning.

Like damn sounds like a 1400 dollar vacation ive had to deal with helping my sister with 3 babies and i would immediately jump to pay for this program

In the US sometimes if you have an easy birth and healthy baby you can go home that same day from the hospital. The faster they can get you out the door the quicker they can charge the next person's insurance to come in. Sadly the number one priority of US healthcare is profit, not health.

I had my first baby 50 years ago. Then it was common to stay in hospital 7 days after birth. This time was really important especially new mums. I left feeling fairly confident with the basics and had gotten into a good routine. Plus learning how to breast feed. Following this there were visits to maternal and child welfare clinics that helped with the next few months stages.

My mom is American and had three kids all c section, my oldest bro had the tube twisted so much he had to have a emergency c section 2 weeks early, my middle bro didn’t want to come out, so 2 weeks later, she had a c section, and me I had to be a c section in the fear of her scar ripping open during birth, 12 hours after her c section she went home

I seriously don’t know why people are obsessed with America.

After I had my baby, there was no help, and there was no recovery period. The staff even had me walk 20 minutes after giving birth and I almost fainted.

I live in the U.S. and the hospital where I had my baby was clean and organized, the staff was friendly, and I had my own room. I still hated it and couldn’t wait to leave. I was bummed when they made me stay for 2 days; I wanted to leave as soon as the 24 hours were up.

$100-200 a night for all of that? That’s how much hotels are nowadays that are maybe a 3 Star and you only get breakfast

Hey- I just need to know if I can give birth in Korea as a US citizen since it seems like Korea has significantly more infrastructure to support women and their newborns than the US does

I have really been enjoying the comparisons that you provide. And, this past year I have been enjoying K dramas. I am starting to know and appreciate Korean culture thanks to these things. Thank you for sharing 😊.

Her videos are so helpful to let my fiancé understand the amount of care I would need as a Korean woman.

yea you have lots of luxury but the bills is.... yea we dont talk about that

Meanwhile I cried the entire car ride home because I was in so much pain. I would have loved two weeks because that was the hardest part of recovery but my husband got paternity leave so that wouldn't be worth giving up.

I’m from the US and I went home 44hrs after my c-section. My husband took one week off from work (unpaid had to use his saved vacation time) to stay home with me. I had no help. I still get no help 3.5 years later. What I would do for that level of support and care directly after birth. I couldn’t imagine how much better my postpartum depression and anxiety would have been.

I'm in Canada and I had c-sections and was out and comfy in my house less than 24 hrs after my son was born. I had very short stays for both, I was grateful.

Yeah, in the US they throw you out as soon as possible

All this channel does is give me reasons to leave USA and go to live in Korea instead. And my ass lives in Bangladesh 🤡

Two weeks doing this is still cheaper than the hospital bill here in the US.

I’m sorry but that shot of the baby in the little star suit thingy was so cute 😭😭😭

Not related to the topic but somehow i am early to a video

“But south Korea” 🤓🤓🤓🤓

And in the UK we're encouraged to leave just a few hours later, a day or 2 for c-sections. Crazy! I love this idea, it makes a lot more sense having this kind of support.

In Germany you have to stay home for 8 weeks after birth (fully paid). Then you can go into paternity leave for 1 year with ~60% payment and 2 more years without payment. Your employer has to give you a Job with similar task and payment after those 3 years.

Canadian man with two boys, I prefer the 5-7 weeks of paternity leave we get, we can help mom recover early and use the rest to bond with baby a bit. I find it's better for dad to be around and a hubby to be supportive, instead of the gov supporting mom of baby. But it would be nice to have choices because not everybody is like me!

Oh my gosh! I left the hospital after four hours with all my kids! So many women would love this!!!

In Malaysia there's stay-at-home service where postpartum professional come to care for you depending on how long you want them to. Most the service mentioned in this video is included too. My friend just done with her two week postpartum care and I believe it's about RM2.5k. She said it really helped her a lot.

In the US here and was discharged 36hrs after my c-section. They're always trying to get you out ASAP

I gave birth on a Thursday, the Dr asked if I wanted to stay in the hospital until Monday, I didn't have running water at home, so I readily agreed. I was lucky to have a weekend of help.

Idk in the USA my husband took time off to help me and the mom's helped the new mom learn anything they needed. Support comes in different ways for everyone.

wow, that's such a cool service, even just teaching the basics like bathing a baby is super useful.

My family has a tradition where the new mom moves in with grandma and grandpa for a month and that way grandma and help and teach the basics of baby care and the new mom can get more rest. I loved when my sister moved in with my new nephew who happened to be born just before Christmas so it was so fun doing a baby’s first Christmas with a newborn.

What an unbelievable great resource. Helps tremendously for mental health. I would save up and splurge for this resource If available in USA

UK here. Delivered at 09:50 and was told I could go home at midday. My first baby!

Military family, i gave birth twice in Japan once in a Japanese hospital (if you're in the Sasebo/Hario/Arita area fully recommend Murakami womens clinic) and the 2nd time base hospital up in Yokosuka. Had no choice due to covid the 2nd time. I stayed in the Japanese hospital for a week, was checked out daily, loved the hospital room (my only charged expense at $100 a day) I was in, and my Doctor coordinated a special birthday meal for me since I celebrated my birthday in the hospital. Base hospital? Prime example of standard US Healthcare? Discharged after 24 hours. 72 hours after discharge? Rushed via ambulance to the ER since I was septic and actively dying. If my stay in the hospital had been longer? It would have been found and i wouldnt have then had to spend 4 days readmitted in the hospital i had just left.

In the US as high risk natural birth I was in hospital 5 days. I moved to California to get 6 months maternity leave ( only 3 months was paid) & then dads can take 6 months so baby can be home with a parent for the first year of life if you can afford it. Grandparents help a lot with childcare and financial costs. I gave birth in Illinois and they provide a doula and 6 months weekly visits for baby at no cost!

This made me cry….. I needed this so bad it Hurts.

This is definitely something new To Me!! A nice place were you can stay with your Newborn Child and bond with your baby!! It's always a little tough on New Mom's so having something like this to help is incredible!! Great Video 🔥 and Thanks for Sharing!!💯💯💯💯

Similar in Austria, but it's 1 week staying in hospital, not 2, but it's fully covered by public health insurance.

Your baby is so cute and beautiful 🥺

This really could help more here especially for new young mothers.
