YAAAASS

[@AlishaArlene]

I feel like even if America did offer something akin to this, it would be so outrageously expensive that only the rich could ever go. It's quite sad because I think this is brilliant. Korea is definitely doing things right! Mothers deserve to be cared for this way after giving birth. Especially after a c-section! Pregnancy is very hard on the body, and if you had have surgery, that much more so. Man, really does make me sad to think these types of places will probably never be available to the general public here in the USA. 😞

[@ballstomper6756]

I feel like a lot of people would still use it by skimping on things like their wedding to prioritize something like this, though! Of course, it SHOULD be affordable but if it was just offered, at the very least, people could save money on the side to make their recovery better. I mean a lot of people do similar things to afford surrogates.

[@JessieBanana]

TBF income inequality is a big problem in Korea to the point where many people aren’t even having babies, so this probably not as wide spread as it may seem. Folks who can afford to get married and have babies are a little bit privileged in and of itself, and Megan is relatively successful.

[@PumpkinMozie]

It’s expensive in Korea too…

[@SouthernIowaLady]

I think some American midwives might offer to come after birth. But if that's not available the tradition used to be a female relative (or close friend) come after birth and help care a 2 weeks after birth.

[@jellyrolly]

ehhh even in korea some places are super pricy. the cheap ones offer shittier services and have old facilities, so...i guess in a way, it's already like that in korea too.

[@calamityjenn]

When I was postpartum with my last child, I had issues breastfeeding. I had a nurse shrug her shoulders at me and say, "Just give her a bottle." No support whatsoever. I'm happy to see our Mrs. Moon and her babies being cared for so professionally. We most definitely could learn a thing or two (or a dozen) from this level of care.

Omg, I'm so mad for you right now!

[@lillyrose4686]

That happened to me as well! I had issues breastfeeding and they just kept trying to force me even though I kept telling them I was having problems doing so and instead of getting help/support from them to help me find a way to breastfeed they just had me give my daughter formula.

[@jj-if6it]

@@lillyrose4686 that's crazy

[@calamityjenn]

It was awful. I cried my eyes out because I felt I had failed and my tears did nothing to move anyone who were supposed to be responsible for my care. No compassion whatsoever. Whenever I see new moms being treated properly, like our lovely Megan, it makes me so happy for them. As it should be!

[@shawol373]

I didn't get postpartum care at all 😭🤣 left the night I gave birth. Had one meal and some sleep.

[@scook1269]

This care seems like what mothers, grandmothers, and aunts provide to new mothers in India. The tradition was / is that after birth you return home to your mom for up to six months so that they care for you and the baby. I think this translates to very low postpartum depression stats. I like the idea of this type of facility and would be useful to all mothers especially if they don’t have a family support network.

[@janin4real]

Same in Nigeria

[@rosebonnie7444]

I think it was done more of that way traditionally in Korea. My grandma and aunties did pretty much the same stuff for my mom in the US after she gave birth. As stated in this video, they don't have these types of centers in the US and my grandma comes from a much more rural area and older time in Korea. So in the modern day the old school tradition morphed into this new system

[@winxred12]

Nowadays with mom and grandparents having to go to work even in Korea it makes it more difficult. In the states specially

[@lcn706]

That’s so amazing. Most moms in the US are back to work at 6-8 weeks. 😔

[@GardensOfChina]

That's great but it also means very little involvement from the fathers (if there are any). In some Western countries it's really important that the partner is involved because they live far from family and often both partners work. Also emotionally it makes a lot of sense - the sooner someone cares for a child the stronger their emotional bond.

[@Petronole]

Money well spent! We have a good health care system in France. But this is another level. I'm not a mother (for now) and I have never taken care of a baby. I think this is good for transition and healing for the mum.

I don't know about any facilities but you do have a midwife come visit youfor the first few weeks and a pediatrician comes to visit the baby until u are able to go to the office. Any extra treatment like spas and massages etc arent included but aren't super expensive here. They even offered plastic surgery for free as postpartum care. I'd say i was more than satisfied tho it wasnt as luxurious as those facilities.

[@esmiq7771]

I was pregnant one time. I was on morphine the first 2 days after my c section 😂 I went home on the 3rd day. Would have been nice to do something like this. I was the oldest of 5 kids so I already knew what I had to do. My mom bathed my kid the first month, I was to scared hahaha. But eventually I did. Dont miss changing diapers haha. I miss her being small tho.

[@중후-i2j]

The cost of postpartum care in Korea depends on the length of stay and grade. 2018 currently, 75.1% of Korean mothers use postpartum care centers, with an average period of 13.2 days and an average cost of 2207,000 won(about$1,800). The statistics are based on 2018 and currently have higher utilization rates and The average cost is around $2,400

[@LucielStarz123]

Congrats Megan and Mr Moon! I have had 4 kids in America. My oldest is 15 and let me tell you, something like this would help with postpartum depression. The transition from being pregnant to within 24 hours ( natural birth) being at home with a newborn is the most difficult transition no one talks about enough

[@kareny5438]

I would be terrified. This really isn't something anyone should do without lots of help at the beginning.

[@ASmith-jn7kf]

Who says that they are supposed to be raised in a community? In reality, that community is your family it was never just strangers. So if people don't have children and only have one child and then the parents don't foster those relationships and those people have children then there is no village for you. No different than any other period in history. Strangers didn't force themselves around you to be your village.

[@ashipper8223]

I did natural child birth also and was home with my daughter the same day I had her. It was a lot to deal with physical recovery and taking care of a newborn at the same time. They provided some follow up support but nothing at my house.

[@MELLMAO]

@@ASmith-jn7kf for most of human history, people lived in community and raised children in a community. Parents were primary care-givers, but their parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts or just neighbours would jump in and help as much as possible and be an active participant in child's life. Some countries still have this, some more or some less. Extreme individualism and nuclear family model isn't good for new parents and isn't too good on mental health. Good balance and lots of socialization is proven to be the best thing for raising children

[@celinebellon5259]

Yes this would have been great here. It's true within 24 hours in hospital. I had an emergency c section and back home the next night. They were like see you later and good luck. I had to go out and find a nurse that offered help with people that had a hard time breast feeding and even that wasn't in the most comfortable area or that much help.then 9months in my son was diagnosed with hydrocephalus...let me tell you the work never ends when you are doing most of it on your own and trying to figure out wtf is going on.

Meanwhile I had c-sections and could barely hold the babies let alone do everything for them. This would have been amazing. I hope this concept catches on here.

[@VRonWrites]

I would love to see stats on how these facilities help with post-partum depression, abuse towards infants, and over time, long term success of being a parent with healthy, successful and emotionally well-balanced children. So many new mothers don’t know how to be a mother or maybe had a less than perfect mother. This could help set a good foundation of good parenting skills.

[@isabellrc]

Very well and necessary comments

[@darkale658]

This is true but at the same time I think the pressure on mothers to be perfect is even greater in South Korea than in many Western countries. In many respects things the social aspects of motherhood are still extremely conservative.

[@SSHEX]

Or those who don’t have support at all and have to do it all alone. It really takes a community to help raise a child

[@Myaccount923]

These facilities are for post partial care…not to take care of your responsibilities for you. If you have post-partum depression, seek a therapist. The long term success and wellbeing of your child is your responsibility

THIS is how you improve a country's birthrate. I think alot of women hold back having kids, or choose not to because it's intimidating and people don't feel like they're ready for it/don't think they can afford it/are afraid they'd make poor parents. Having this would make it alot less scary. In Canada, parents get financial help per child, so it's more "affordable", its just the other two reasons holding me back atm, since I've had 0 experience with kids. (youngest sibling life lol)

[@mariarodriguez7842]

This is the correct approach to increase birth rates. Hope the US takes notes and takes this approach instead of restricting access to abortions which does nothing to fix the long term issues that come with low birth rates.

[@sunshineyrainbows13]

Better and more affordable healthcare is the better alternative to abortions. Abortions end life, better maternal healthcare improves life. If care like this were cheap to free for all expecting mothers, abortions wouldn't be necessary at all. Even if the mother then chooses to put her baby up for adoption, she should still receive Korea's level of care and financial assistance.

[@bleudiamondbleu]

Abortions are completely illegal in Korea....

[@AlcideIzMine]

@@sunshineyrainbows13 abortion is sometimes not due to the costs, but the fact that some people physically or mentally can't be a parent. Pregnancy is difficult. Not everyone wants to take on the health risks. It's so rough on the body. Affordable birth control and funding research for safer birth control would help decrease the need for abortion.

[@bashlea]

No abortions restriction laws were enacted for birth rate control. Sex is the only way to cause pregnancy outside of medical intervention. Don’t want to raise a child? Give it up. Worried about the life it will live in adoption? Better than death. Postpartum and pregnancy care are not related to abortion at all. Obamacare also covers all costs related to the pregnancy and 6 weeks afterwards. There are programs to pay for baby food, car seats, diapers, clothes for mom and baby, education, free childcare, housing, transportation assistance, and so much more to help those who need it. I know because I’ve used it all. Abortion is not necessary. Having said that, America can definitely improve in this area. If we can finance other countries we can afford to improve our own citizens lives.

[@Ishyona]

Man that place sounds like a dream. I live in New Zealand, and I had an emergency c-section after three days of labour. I was transferred between hospitals, and hospital rooms every few hours, and then after a day, kicked out of the hospital all together because they didn't have enough beds. I couldn't even walk yet, my c-section wound was infected, and my baby was starving because I couldn't reach them, because all the nurses too busy... so going home after a day ended up being a blessing in disguise. I had my mum come stay with me, and she helped me. I am horrified to think what other mums without family care have to go through. Also because they botched the epidural three times, I ended up with nerve damage, and couldn't walk for 7 months afterwards.

In korea they care so much about the mothers Heath, and that of the baby. I just had a baby here in the United States and it was terrible. They brought me extremely small portions of food, that was not fresh or healthy. I also was still wearing the same bloody gown they had given me before I had my baby, till the day I left the hospital. Yes, blood all over it. I was not given anything to clean myself down there until the day I left. I had been asking for a lactation consultant the whole time and they never provided me with one. They also tried numerous times to force me to give my baby formula instead of promoting breastfeeding. The externally small room with no window and an old painful bed from the 80s was extremely uncomfortable. The doctor did something to my spine during the epidural procedure and when I complained of a complication I was having and asked for a doctor to come look at it, they refused to let me see the doctor. They let the trash line up the whole time I was there and they never came to change it. They also never changed my bloody sheets. The food they gave me was full of preservatives and was heavy and not healthy. Previous frozen, heated in a microwave I think. They do not care about anyone’s health or well being here. From the care, to the room, to the food, to the hygiene. They also never let me or my baby leave the room the whole four days I was there!!!!! Not once!!!!!

We used to have this standard of post-partum care, with 24/7 well baby nurseries in hospitals and hiring a "night nurse" to give the new parents time to rest at night was a possible gift to give. We got rid of it due to a complicated interplay of insurance wanting to kick people out of the hospital as fast as possible and the breastfeeding lobby pushing hospitals to adopt the "Baby Friendly" certification to force people to breastfeed and never give them an option to take a break from their baby, even when recovering from labor or major surgery (which a C-section is).

WOW! These facilities look AMAZING! This is a wonderful option for those people that don't have family to assist or for us Black Americans in the US that don't know about customs/assistance for mothers from family or friends after delivery (such as omugwo in the Igbo culture of Nigeria). As a Therapist, I believe use of these facilities would possibly reduce instances of postpartum depression especially among Black mothers.

[@YolandaEzeagwu]

Omugwo is AMAZING and a blessing! My mother lovingly took care of both me and my babies for months. I'm so grateful for that and I look forward to doing that for my daughter

[@biellaspointofview2054]

Well, they paid close to $10K maybe based on how she described it so we aren't sure what the $2K price range service is like which could maybe be similar to postpartum care in the US where you get your own private room with your spouse and baby and nurses/lactation person show up.

[@firelakie]

Thanks to Megan for giving us a tour. This is a thing in America, same as a ‘confinement auntie’ who stays and takes care of the mom and baby for a month post birth. It’s supposedly common for those who can afford and are utilizing traditional(Asian) services. I hope I’m explaining it clearly. We don’t have this as a universal part of our culture here in the States. Income disparities and lack of federal care protocols for mothers plays into why it’s not common. Other major countries have provisions, while in America we make parents choose between being there for the first years and losing salary or continuing work and having someone else care for your children if you can afford it. Truly, the system and our attitude towards motherhood needs an overhaul or the population rate will continue to decrease.

[@neekyboo77]

Oh my gosh. I wish we had these services in America. We felt so overwhelmed when we brought our daughter home. I had c sections with both of my children and was taking care of my elderly father in law too. I cried every day. I'm so glad you have so much help! It's needed!

[@Jacklynofalltrades]

It's a wonderful service to have. I had a c-section and I didn't have any additional help except for the first week that my husband stayed with me. My parents lived in Canada. I must say for me, the c-section was great. I had no pain whatsoever from it and it wasn't hard for me to recover. I had severe toxemia, my blood pressure was 190 over 120 and the doctor delivered the baby at 36 weeks. I felt my head was going to split from the high blood pressure. I was full of liquid, and I think I lost 30 pounds in the first month. My kidneys didn't quite stop spilling protein until a year later.

[@JLC2404]

I am blown away by these facilities. I live in the UK and literally just googled to see if anywhere in my city offers this care but NOWHERE does. This would have helped me so much when i became a new momma and honestly think it would have helped prevent baby blues. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy. You look absolutely beautiful cannot believe you have just given birth. I literally looked like shrek for a good year or so after giving birth lol. Yah bless you and your gorgeous family.

[@akiko7298]

When my mom had me, after she was sent home from the hospital she was 100% on her own. Her MIL had already passed and her own mother didn't help at all in taking care of her firstborn and her mom basically just told her "well you'll just know how to do it". Stressed her out so much, especially since dad had to go back to work so she would've LOVED a place like this! How I made it through babyhood I don't know haha.

It’s amazing how different the culture differences are between the west and east. I’m from south east asia, and post partum care facilities are very common! I’m sure it must be in other Asian countries too. I myself went to a post partum care facility and it was the best decision I made.

If only I had this experience after I had my twins, because lack of sleep and after birth pains is an understatement. Megan you are looking great.

[@ShaiMyst]

I love this so much. This kind of facility I think is especially useful after c-sections, for persons who are away from close family and may need that additional help, and as you mentioned- those who are first time parents and don't have experience with newborns at all. That extra help in the first days is important and I think in the case of persons who have had c-sections having the medical personnel is an added bonus to family help.

[@kerrividler6571]

Oh wow, Australia needs these places. That would make things like post-natal depression not so common. Gosh I would have been so much better if I had one of these places to go to - especially first baby

Seems like everyone is looked after well. And being able to see your babies at any time must have been comforting, too. Hope you're recovering well back at home, and I'm sure Mr Moon and the nanny are a great help to you (with the nanny helping you both!). All the best to you! 💕🙏

[@Missmurder8905]

Research homebirth and birth centers! To me it’s even better than this. All my appointments were done at home (well most of them) as things like ultrasounds are often optional. And being able to birth in the comfort of my own home surrounded by people I picked… was amazing. And being able o just roll over in my own bed, with baby by my side. And they don’t ditch you either. They leave a couple hours after birth.. and come back every day for 3 days. Then a week later, then a month later and usually at the 6-8 week (done healing mark).

[@pattycake5842]

@@Missmurder8905 The healing mark isn't a good healing time frame. It took me two months over for m body to even feel normal again. Home birth comes with risks also and some mom's ultimately end up in the hospital anyways. Also, some moms need more support than periodical check ups. Some mom's don't have the luxury of family or excessive amounts of money to pay for expensive services. The birth centers are expensive and make you leave a few hours after birth most of the time. There also been issues with sanitation at birthing centers which are usually just houses with some medical equipment as well as a midwife over the facility.

There is a facility for postpartum in Koreatown, Los Angeles, owned and operated by Koreans. I did get a tour of the facility and it was not as luxury and nice as the place that Megan went to but the price was reasonable for what you’re getting I thought.

I had an emergency c section, still kind of trigger PTSD from it twelve years later. These post partum centres should be a model of good practice globally.

You made a rough thing look pretty damn glamourous, and the babies are beautiful.

We have mom and baby care facility here in Malaysia too. But it's expensive. Only the rich could afford. I think this is sort of Asian thing. We have some period after giving birth where there's protocols for mom to follow, such as a different diet etc. There's thing moms are not supposed to do. Basically there's lots of traditional do's and don't's in our culture for women after giving birth. So it's better taken care of in this kind of facility. U can do it at home too if ur mother is still around. Otherwise it's a bit hard with all the cooking of the special diet. Unless the husband is an angel and would prepare everything.
