U know am kinda upset about being broke most of the time when the skincare routines come out 😭I swear I'll get a whole set this year. By the way your hair is on point
The Sitz bath is also for c-section mommas. It helps with cleaning the blood from your coochie. 🤣🤣🤣 you still bleed even after a c-section. I know I did.
Long-time subscriber and I would LOVE to support it. Unfortunately, I looked and it looks like both packages are citrus-based and I’m super allergic. Is there any plan to expand the line to have more allergy friendly options, or is there a way to customize the package/products that I can order?
I love this facility. If we had one here in America I would definitely sign up. I had three c-sections and this would have been the best place to go after being discharged
I know of retreats women could go to while pregnant and I did spa days but never thought of a place like this and of course if planned for it is affordable. Maybe not by all.
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. 😞
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
I'm literally in tears watching this. the first few weeks post partum were so hard, I was burnt out, physically and mentally exhausted and cried every day. A facility like this would be incredible and honestly so worth the cost.
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
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.
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.
@@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
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. One thing I have to say is never sleep on your extincts..if you feel that something is up please don't ignore it.
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.
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.
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!
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
Which is why center like this would be even pricier, I don’t think Ms. moon is fully transparent about the fact that she’s very wealthy compared to the average Korean women.
@@LucielStarz123 i think it's implied isn't it? Mr Moon makes clothes for celebrities and she has social media, a skin care brand and maybe other streams of revenue. They obviously more wealthy probably as the average American too
I feel like when I had my babies in 2014 and 2016, the nurses were extremely judgey that I would send my babies to the nursery. They kept going on and on about bonding. 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.
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.
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.
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)
@@bleudiamondbleu we don't want free everything. This would be $10-$20 thousand a week in the USA. that is ridiculous for standard health care and rehabilitation.
I needed something like this after I had my baby. It was a horrible after birth experience. My husband and I literally did not sleep for days and my body was a wreck. Everything hurt. It was so eye opening to know that no one in the US gives a crap about women's health or new families or babies. Rant over.
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@sunshineyrainbows13 Adoption is an alternative to parenting, not pregnancy. You do not get to force someone to be pregnant and susceptible to the risks that entails, that's called slavery.
I cried watching this video. I wish I had these resources in the USA. Postpartum recovery and Postpartum depression were so hard on me. I'm so happy you're doing well and keeping it real with us.
Same here. Our country is horrible with supporting mothers. I had to go back to work full time at 3mos pp. Trying to pump every 3-4hrs, keep up my calories/water in a high stress job while on anti anxiety meds. Needless to say, my last day is next week. I just can’t do it anymore. Which sucks bc I do love my job. I just need more time to adjust. 😔
It’s there, you just have to know where to look… most people don’t know what a doula is (maternal support person)… they can support you in so many different ways. And even homebirth… it’s not as scary as they’ll have you believe, they just don’t want to lose money. My first baby, it was SOOO freaking hard… physically, mentally and postpartum… but I wanted that to change with the second, I went with a midwife and had a home birth.
It was amazing.. they were always checking in… they came every day for 3 days after the baby was born, then a week after, then a month after… but they were always on “tap”, if needed. Literally 95% of my appointments were/are (as I’m pregnant with #3) IN MY HOUSE. She comes to me. And to be able to birth in the comfort of my own home, around people I WANT there supporting me… was awesome. Even my oldest daughter was able to watch her sister be born.
@@lcn706 Three months is still so early. It really is hard for the first six months after giving birth. Then people expect you to have all this time outside of the baby.
@@bleudiamondbleu Yeah I get that lol. Package deal as in you can have this after your pregnancy if YOU WANT TO. Yes I realize this is expensive and not everyone would do this maybe. So those who want to "correct me" can save your posts. Thank you.
@@laura_F_ the place Princess Kate had her first baby at wasn't too badly priced, considering it also handled the delivery. I saw they interviewed another patient that had stayed at the same facility and she said it was about 3k pounds out-of-pocket for her stay. Here in the US an uncomplicated delivery with insurance can cost 12-14k USD out-of-pocket & that's without a hospital stay. So I was surprised how "affordable" a facility like that cost in the UK. There's a midwife facility attached to a hospital by me in my city. And it's cheaper than the hospital/OB pricing. About 5-6k USD out-of-pocket with insurance. I see ads for it a lot. You don't stay long tho, but it looks more like a hotel than a hospital.
This is absolutely wonderful! I delivered vaginally with all 4 of mine, so I was booted out of the hospital within 24-36 hrs after delivery. I struggled with new motherhood with my first, and could have really used a place like this. Every mother in the world should have this! Side Note: My breasts were touched a lot as well, with learning to breastfeed. You get used to it pretty quickly😄
I live in Canada. I delivered vaginally and I was discharged from the hospital and told to go home after only four hours after the delivery. Not 24 hours, just four. It would have been great to have some support and care.
It is health care for all but you still need to pay monthly and pay hospitals for visits. everything is normalized in prices so hospital can't just charge whatever the amount they want. It is still fair and people visit hospitals a lot more so it makes up for the lower price. free whole body work from the government which is nice too.
Congrats to you and Mr. Moon! I wish we had these in America 😭 Korea definitely does it right when it comes to birthing. Motherhood is so special! Enjoy those babies! 💕
That place is amazing. Moon is so sweet. He lets you do all the talking & is so caring to you. Can’t wait to meet the babies!!! Wishing you a swift recovery Megan!
America wouldn't never have something this awesome. Our health care is messed up already. But im glad Korea has stuff like this for pregnant women and their recovery process. 🙏💜 congrats megan cant wait to see more videos of your journey as a mommy now 🥰
This service is so nice! I bet it really helps prevent post-pardom depression which can be really dangerous for women after giving birth. Side note: I’ve used red light therapy for my feet because I have plater fasciitis and it’s really surprising how much that helps, so I’m glad it’s helping Megan in her recovery.
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!!!!! And I was not given any care as far as pampering. They did not offer to take photos of my baby or me and my baby. I will never ever ever ever go back to national park medical center in hot springs, Arkansas. Ever ever ever !!
Welome to American hospitals, I work in one and on our end it is horrible too. They treat workers as bad as the patients. The healthcare system needs to change in America.
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.
This is kind of like in nigerian culture where the woman's mom helps them for the first few months but having a facility devoted to this seems nice. This was one of the things I thought was great about Korea
Omg! This would've been great when I had my twins 11 years ago. I was so overwhelmed with caring for twins all on my own practically. Now a days some companies offer paternity leave but man my husband needed to go straight to work the next day after I gave birth and there after. Then he was allowed to take a week off but it came out of his PTO. I was so overwhelmed that I missed on taking photos or videos of twins milestones many times. No one taught me how too breastfeed , I barely ate because of how tired I was I would prefer sleeping. I lost the baby weight so fast that I was not even trying to lose it. But that my story, don't mind. Congratulations to you both, enjoy and cherish every moment. 🙂
My sister had twins and omg her and her husband were worn out. Me and our mom would take turns cleaning their house and We would each take a baby. It was actually fun for us because we got to love on the babies and help them at the same time lol.
This is completely astonishing. That post-partum care is so good that I'm feeling sad about being infertile for like the first time ever. O_O Totally amazing... I wish this could be the standard of care everywhere!
Keep trying if that’s what you really want. My cousin is giving birth this summer, for the first time ever at age 41! She always wanted to be a Mom, and tried for many years. Sending you loads of baby dust and hugs 🤗
Wow this is so amazing. Post partum is very important. Some women get into physiological issues, like stress, crying etc. Thanks for showing us more beautiful things about Korea. Hope one day I can go there and fulfil my dream. Bless you, your family and the beautiful babies.
@@sunshineyrainbows13 I’m not even American. I’ve only lived here 4 years. Idk why using logical thinking automatically makes you think “staunch patriot”.... kinda sad really.
@@bleudiamondbleu She implied they paid $10k for the whole deal, not per night. And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the US charged over $10k per night for something like this considering the cost of literally just riding in an ambulance XD
@@RenPowers whether it’s 10K overall or per night it’s still 10K which is not for the everyday person or working class which was the whole point of this whole comment conversation.
The post partum home nurse is a great help. She is there to take care of the babies and teach the babies parents to care for the babies while the babies mom recuperates from her c section. Wonderful.
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).
This is amazing. When I had my C-Section I felt rushed out the hospital and the transition home was not easy. Seeing this, makes me happy! I hope the US understands this is truly a great route to go.
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.
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
Mr. Moon said he don't like walking around naked Megan. Girl, don't be like Jada, telling all of your husband's business! 😂😂 I'm soo happy and proud of you, I just don't have words! I love y'all and will continue to pray for God's protection and favor over your beautiful new family! 😘🥰
Wow, they know how to treat new moms in S Korea....amazing! I've had 3 c sections and THIS would've been amazing. The nurses in my hospital wouldn't even take the baby for my last child at night to give me a break....
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.
@@bleudiamondbleu holy crap you have no life. How many comments are you gonna make?...10k for two weeks is the price of an upscale hotel...sorry you're broke
It goes to show how good God is because you were told you could not have babies and you were blessed with not one but two Little miracles!! I'm so happy for you guys ❤️ and your new bundles of joy
This would be heavenly in the US. When I had my babies I would’ve been so grateful for help especially while breastfeeding and such. I’m so glad that you are there and able to have that wonderful care and transition into motherhood with multiples. 💕
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.
The food, nurses, and facilities look really nice, and seems like it took a lot of stress off the first few days of being a new mom and dad. So cool, and thank you for sharing!!!
What an amazing facility, they've thought of absolutely everything. It's so important to be able to get as much help and care as possible after giving birth. I wish this was available to all women around the world. So glad you're getting to recover from your c-section in this way. Enjoy your little blessings ♥👨👩👧👦♥
This is amazing. I don’t want to have kids, but Korea sure makes being a mommy sound bearable if one can afford it. But even the other free benefits are wonderful… This place is really nice!
I’m currently six months pregnant with our first child. Absolutely wish there was something like this here as it looks so calming and helpful. If only😩
Megan, I'm so happy for you!! I've been following your journey for years and years now and it's always really rewarding to see you meeting your goals. Hope you, the babies, and Moon are happy and health 😊
i love how you are always being yourself Megan ❤️ throughout the years you never lost your spontaneity and authenticity and you truly seem like a sweet sweet lady 🙏 congratulations to you and mr Moon for your babies 👨👩👧👦 long time fan here, love you girl ❤️
The US does not do enough for postpartum care or education. Most women are walking around target a week after, working out and cutting calories too soon like we've got something to prove.
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.
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!
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).
@@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.
😆Love how you say "I ain't pregnant no mo" Glad they're facilities like this in Korea and Post Partum helper afterwards. It would be nice if Post Partum Care was talked about and taught equally along side pre-natal care in the USA.
Oh, my.......the babies so precious, the tiny yawns and those dark eyes. I'm way too excited that all of you are safe and easing into this new stage of life. So, another great video. The amenities and support structures are fantastic. It's so funny because I have a very different life from you, but from the time I started watching - years ago - I realized that you'll always explain things in a way that is interesting and entertaining to me. Again, so much love, best wishes, and congratulations to you guys, 💜!
Megan, I don't know if you realize how amazing and extremely helpful your pregnancy diary has been for me personally. Thank you for being so consistent inspite of how tough pregnancy can be. Sending you, Moon, baby Ping and baby Pong immense hugs. Also excited for the skin care. Because of you my skin has been glowing!!!! 💕
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.
I’m glad you two love birds had such a great experience at the facility. I hope they bring these types of facilities to Canada. Also the twins are growing so well. May your family continue to flourish in love and Prosperity
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.
It's great that you were able to go to this facility! Looks like it's really worth the cost, as they put so much care and consideration towards providing the support new mums would need. 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! 💕🙏
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.
Being in the hospital for 2 days to deliver my child cost be $5600 in the US. That was back in 2008 too. The US needs to get their medical system together.
When I was doing research on Korean expats in America, I found a study involving mothers who'd given birth in America and almost all of them said they wished these facilities were available here (either at all or just near them, I don't remember). After seeing this, I couldn't agree more!!
I like that because of this facility you were all able to finally go home together as I imagine having to go home without the twins in the first instance would have been a strange homecoming. It gives you the chance to heal properly and rest so that you can sort of ease into to the baby evolution about to commence. Mr & Mrs Moon looking complete and content, so nice 👍🏽
In the Netherlands everyone gets a post partum care assistant/specialist for a week and its free. Its part of our healthcare system. I think we are the only country in world.
Yes I have experienced this in the Netherlands with my 2 girls, it is indeed a great help, especially if your a mom for the first time. I appreciated this a great deal. I am a witness to this!!
Girl!! I am past baby making but would love to be at this facility. The services for pregnancy and post party care are wonderful. Moms need this in every country. In US we should do this. It is a very gentle way to incorporate major change that is parenting into one's life. You look good Mamma!!! Glad you are blessed with your darlings!!
Congratulations 🎉 y’all i wish I had received care such as this especially having a cervical cerclage with both of my last two babies and then having postpartum preeclampsia
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.
I hoping to have another baby, I think maybe I should move to South Korea. I needed that after birth facility when my son was born… wahh. I’m glad to see you guys doing well. God bless your family🙏🏼🥰
When I had my son, my Korean mother in law came to stay with us and she made me a seaweed soup that was supposed to be good for new moms. I have never been so spoiled because I love Korean food, yum!
Congratulations to you and Mr. Moon! I'm so happy for the both of you. Thank you for giving us this enlightening video. I just hope that one day America could offer this for our mother's. I can't believe that the center has a hyperbaric chamber! I'm a RN and I used to work in wound care, our patients had phenomenal healing when this treatment was ordered but it was very expensive. Just seeing that it's ordered for post partum mom's makes me so happy, Korea really cares for its mothers❤❤
This is amazing, you both are so relaxed, I was lonely, exhausted and sad when I gave birth to my twins. It’s a whole story on its own, but this would have been a godsend.
Why di u feel like we are over here living in the dark ages with American health care!!! This is awesome and I would not know about this if not for you. Good video!
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. Congratulations! and well done to you birth is no small task and neither is parenthood. On the bright side of a c section, (and there aren't many) but the one upside is you won't be peeing when you laugh, so there's that. Lol. You made a rough thing look pretty damn glamourous, and the babies are beautiful.
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
My Korean skincare routine is back on sale until June 19th~ don’t miss out. bit.ly/3OLyPq9
U know am kinda upset about being broke most of the time when the skincare routines come out 😭I swear I'll get a whole set this year. By the way your hair is on point
girllll! i just got me 2 and i am going to try it out :) much love
The Sitz bath is also for c-section mommas. It helps with cleaning the blood from your coochie. 🤣🤣🤣 you still bleed even after a c-section. I know I did.
Long-time subscriber and I would LOVE to support it. Unfortunately, I looked and it looks like both packages are citrus-based and I’m super allergic. Is there any plan to expand the line to have more allergy friendly options, or is there a way to customize the package/products that I can order?
oh how i love you and your family . I have already got my skincare and i love it . Bless you
I love this facility. If we had one here in America I would definitely sign up. I had three c-sections and this would have been the best place to go after being discharged
america doesnt care about women bruh
Of course, there are facilities like this in the US however there are for the RICH and extremely are EXCLUSIVE and EXPENSIVE.
@@michellej7734 Megan literally said she paid 10K for this facility… it’s the same thing. It’s an added luxury experience for rich people.
I know of retreats women could go to while pregnant and I did spa days but never thought of a place like this and of course if planned for it is affordable. Maybe not by all.
@@bleudiamondbleu this would NOT cost just 10 k in the us. Not even close
The fact that you can log into an app, share the code, and you and your family can see your babies is SO cool!
The baby most definitely could feel that he was being watched. Cute kiddo looked aware, lol!
We have hospitals where I'm at that also offer that :)
YAAAASS
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. 😞
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.
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.
It’s expensive in Korea too…
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.
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.
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.
Same in Nigeria
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
Nowadays with mom and grandparents having to go to work even in Korea it makes it more difficult. In the states specially
That’s so amazing. Most moms in the US are back to work at 6-8 weeks. 😔
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.
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.
Imagine if we had this France the dream
Definite
I would love to live in Paris I need to think about that
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.
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.
I'm literally in tears watching this. the first few weeks post partum were so hard, I was burnt out, physically and mentally exhausted and cried every day. A facility like this would be incredible and honestly so worth the cost.
I’m sorry your having a hard time 😢❤
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
I would be terrified. This really isn't something anyone should do without lots of help at the beginning.
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.
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.
@@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
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. One thing I have to say is never sleep on your extincts..if you feel that something is up please don't ignore it.
I feel like starting a business like this in US would be so good
Definitely💚
Please do 🥺
It would be interesting to see what the licensing requirements would be for Korea vs the States for something like this and how wages would compare.
Be the change you want to see in the world. if you start it ill sign up
Do it
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!
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.
@@lillyrose4686 that's crazy
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!
I didn't get postpartum care at all 😭🤣 left the night I gave birth. Had one meal and some sleep.
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
Which is why center like this would be even pricier, I don’t think Ms. moon is fully transparent about the fact that she’s very wealthy compared to the average Korean women.
Is that per day?
@@LucielStarz123 i think it's implied isn't it? Mr Moon makes clothes for celebrities and she has social media, a skin care brand and maybe other streams of revenue. They obviously more wealthy probably as the average American too
@@MsDragontooth The average facility usually costs about 2500 dollars for two weeks. Of course, there are many more expensive places
@@중후-i2j thank you . That's actually more affordable than I thought
Chile I am not even pregnant or have children and I want to go to this facility! This is fabulous! America need to adopt this concept. Tfs
Lol! Same
Right
Me too😅
I feel like when I had my babies in 2014 and 2016, the nurses were extremely judgey that I would send my babies to the nursery. They kept going on and on about bonding. 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.
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.
Very well and necessary comments
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.
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
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
@@Myaccount923 🤔
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)
The United States needs something like this!!
we do.
Americans would just complain they’re not free.
@@bleudiamondbleu we don't want free everything. This would be $10-$20 thousand a week in the USA. that is ridiculous for standard health care and rehabilitation.
@@joybarber2430 shush 🤐
They do but it’s for the rich 😅
I needed something like this after I had my baby. It was a horrible after birth experience. My husband and I literally did not sleep for days and my body was a wreck. Everything hurt. It was so eye opening to know that no one in the US gives a crap about women's health or new families or babies. Rant over.
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.
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.
Abortions are completely illegal in Korea....
@@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.
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.
@@sunshineyrainbows13 Adoption is an alternative to parenting, not pregnancy. You do not get to force someone to be pregnant and susceptible to the risks that entails, that's called slavery.
I cried watching this video. I wish I had these resources in the USA. Postpartum recovery and Postpartum depression were so hard on me. I'm so happy you're doing well and keeping it real with us.
Same here. Our country is horrible with supporting mothers. I had to go back to work full time at 3mos pp. Trying to pump every 3-4hrs, keep up my calories/water in a high stress job while on anti anxiety meds. Needless to say, my last day is next week. I just can’t do it anymore. Which sucks bc I do love my job. I just need more time to adjust. 😔
It’s there, you just have to know where to look… most people don’t know what a doula is (maternal support person)… they can support you in so many different ways. And even homebirth… it’s not as scary as they’ll have you believe, they just don’t want to lose money. My first baby, it was SOOO freaking hard… physically, mentally and postpartum… but I wanted that to change with the second, I went with a midwife and had a home birth.
It was amazing.. they were always checking in… they came every day for 3 days after the baby was born, then a week after, then a month after… but they were always on “tap”, if needed. Literally 95% of my appointments were/are (as I’m pregnant with #3) IN MY HOUSE. She comes to me. And to be able to birth in the comfort of my own home, around people I WANT there supporting me… was awesome. Even my oldest daughter was able to watch her sister be born.
@@lcn706 Three months is still so early. It really is hard for the first six months after giving birth. Then people expect you to have all this time outside of the baby.
@@Missmurder8905 Doulas are expensive and most insurance doesn't cover them. The resources are limited in the US.
I wish they had all this in Canada. This package deal after birth sounds amazing.
It’s not a package deal. It’s not free and an added expense.
I hope they bring it here as well
@@laura_F_ really .
@@bleudiamondbleu Yeah I get that lol. Package deal as in you can have this after your pregnancy if YOU WANT TO.
Yes I realize this is expensive and not everyone would do this maybe.
So those who want to "correct me" can save your posts. Thank you.
@@laura_F_ the place Princess Kate had her first baby at wasn't too badly priced, considering it also handled the delivery. I saw they interviewed another patient that had stayed at the same facility and she said it was about 3k pounds out-of-pocket for her stay. Here in the US an uncomplicated delivery with insurance can cost 12-14k USD out-of-pocket & that's without a hospital stay. So I was surprised how "affordable" a facility like that cost in the UK.
There's a midwife facility attached to a hospital by me in my city. And it's cheaper than the hospital/OB pricing. About 5-6k USD out-of-pocket with insurance. I see ads for it a lot. You don't stay long tho, but it looks more like a hotel than a hospital.
This is absolutely wonderful! I delivered vaginally with all 4 of mine, so I was booted out of the hospital within 24-36 hrs after delivery. I struggled with new motherhood with my first, and could have really used a place like this. Every mother in the world should have this!
Side Note: My breasts were touched a lot as well, with learning to breastfeed. You get used to it pretty quickly😄
Me too!!! America needs to step it up!!
I live in Canada. I delivered vaginally and I was discharged from the hospital and told to go home after only four hours after the delivery. Not 24 hours, just four. It would have been great to have some support and care.
Wow…Korea just gets it. Korean women are so blessed to have this option. ❤️
I don’t know if I would call it an option for Korean women. she just said the facility ranges from 2K to 20 K
poor working class women couldn't afford this tbh... but i'm sure the generic version is better than anything we have in the west anyway
They get treated better. (Shocking)
@@bleudiamondbleu ok, it’s still an option for those who can afford it. That’s all I meant.
@@songbird501 mainly the rich :/
So impressed with the healthcare system in S. Korea. Pretty amazing. Glad that you have had such a wonderful experience.
It is health care for all but you still need to pay monthly and pay hospitals for visits. everything is normalized in prices so hospital can't just charge whatever the amount they want. It is still fair and people visit hospitals a lot more so it makes up for the lower price. free whole body work from the government which is nice too.
Congrats to you and Mr. Moon! I wish we had these in America 😭 Korea definitely does it right when it comes to birthing. Motherhood is so special! Enjoy those babies! 💕
How special!!! I love this facility. They didn't forget about the mother. She still needs care after the birth of baby. Love it.
That place is amazing. Moon is so sweet. He lets you do all the talking & is so caring to you. Can’t wait to meet the babies!!! Wishing you a swift recovery Megan!
He is so attentive
America wouldn't never have something this awesome. Our health care is messed up already. But im glad Korea has stuff like this for pregnant women and their recovery process. 🙏💜 congrats megan cant wait to see more videos of your journey as a mommy now 🥰
There's a place called Boram in NYC that's a post-partum recovery centre. Private of course
This service is so nice! I bet it really helps prevent post-pardom depression which can be really dangerous for women after giving birth. Side note: I’ve used red light therapy for my feet because I have plater fasciitis and it’s really surprising how much that helps, so I’m glad it’s helping Megan in her recovery.
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!!!!! And I was not given any care as far as pampering. They did not offer to take photos of my baby or me and my baby. I will never ever ever ever go back to national park medical center in hot springs, Arkansas. Ever ever ever !!
Welome to American hospitals, I work in one and on our end it is horrible too. They treat workers as bad as the patients. The healthcare system needs to change in America.
Oh my goodness! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the bill? Its stories like this that made me want a homebirth!
Jesus. Ew. Definitely leaving this country when it’s time to start a family. That’s crazy but all too familiar. Smh.
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.
Oh dear. That's horrible, I'm so sorry you experienced that. It should be a crime to mistreat new mothers and their babies.
omg sounds horrific. I'm surprised that happens in NZ
My goodness that sounds like nightmare 🥺 glad that you recovered well 🙏
Wow, that sounds like a nightmare! Glad you had your mum for support.
This is kind of like in nigerian culture where the woman's mom helps them for the first few months but having a facility devoted to this seems nice. This was one of the things I thought was great about Korea
Omg! This would've been great when I had my twins 11 years ago. I was so overwhelmed with caring for twins all on my own practically. Now a days some companies offer paternity leave but man my husband needed to go straight to work the next day after I gave birth and there after. Then he was allowed to take a week off but it came out of his PTO. I was so overwhelmed that I missed on taking photos or videos of twins milestones many times. No one taught me how too breastfeed , I barely ate because of how tired I was I would prefer sleeping. I lost the baby weight so fast that I was not even trying to lose it. But that my story, don't mind. Congratulations to you both, enjoy and cherish every moment. 🙂
I hear you.Triplets with a 6 y.o. already.We did it ourselves. Walking zombie for 6 years!😁
My sister had twins and omg her and her husband were worn out. Me and our mom would take turns cleaning their house and
We would each take a baby. It was actually fun for us because we got to love on the babies and help them at the same time lol.
I hate that this is our expected experiences in the us. Trauma
I hear you mom! It is traumatizing and leaves us moms with a nongrateful experience
@@winxred12 trauma... this is correct.
This is completely astonishing. That post-partum care is so good that I'm feeling sad about being infertile for like the first time ever. O_O Totally amazing... I wish this could be the standard of care everywhere!
Keep trying if that’s what you really want. My cousin is giving birth this summer, for the first time ever at age 41! She always wanted to be a Mom, and tried for many years. Sending you loads of baby dust and hugs 🤗
If Canada had this I wouldn't be nearly as iffy about having a kid at first. Megan you look great!
We have these facilities in the west too. They’re just insanely expensive. They’re very expensive in Asia too- just not as much as US/Canada.
I think thats why they have them in korea. Since not as many people are giving birth this is to help them be not as iffy
@@CheerUp2 They have them everywhere, not just in Korea.

Agreed
@@amethystgayle5166 Lanetta is such a pretty name!

Bless you, your family and the beautiful babies.
That's so cool! I wish we had stuff like that here in the US but let's be real. They'd probably charge $10,000 per night for the basic, shared room.

Idk why using logical thinking automatically makes you think “staunch patriot”.... kinda sad really.
@@bleudiamondbleu She implied they paid $10k for the whole deal, not per night. And frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the US charged over $10k per night for something like this considering the cost of literally just riding in an ambulance XD
@@RenPowers whether it’s 10K overall or per night it’s still 10K which is not for the everyday person or working class which was the whole point of this whole comment conversation.
The post partum home nurse is a great help. She is there to take care of the babies and teach the babies parents to care for the babies while the babies mom recuperates from her c section. Wonderful.
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).
insurance companies greedy as hell. What country are you from?
This is amazing. When I had my C-Section I felt rushed out the hospital and the transition home was not easy. Seeing this, makes me happy! I hope the US understands this is truly a great route to go.
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.
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
I would love that for us!💗💗💗
Mr. Moon said he don't like walking around naked Megan. Girl, don't be like Jada, telling all of your husband's business! 😂😂
I'm soo happy and proud of you, I just don't have words! I love y'all and will continue to pray for God's protection and favor over your beautiful new family! 😘🥰
Wow, they know how to treat new moms in S Korea....amazing! I've had 3 c sections and THIS would've been amazing. The nurses in my hospital wouldn't even take the baby for my last child at night to give me a break....
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.
You didn’t listen. This ISNT a part of the hospital experience. This is an added luxury. Megan said she paid 10K for this.
@@bleudiamondbleu holy crap you have no life. How many comments are you gonna make?...10k for two weeks is the price of an upscale hotel...sorry you're broke

This would be heavenly in the US. When I had my babies I would’ve been so grateful for help especially while breastfeeding and such. I’m so glad that you are there and able to have that wonderful care and transition into motherhood with multiples. 💕
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.
The food, nurses, and facilities look really nice, and seems like it took a lot of stress off the first few days of being a new mom and dad. So cool, and thank you for sharing!!!
What an amazing facility, they've thought of absolutely everything. It's so important to be able to get as much help and care as possible after giving birth. I wish this was available to all women around the world. So glad you're getting to recover from your c-section in this way. Enjoy your little blessings ♥👨👩👧👦♥
This is amazing. I don’t want to have kids, but Korea sure makes being a mommy sound bearable if one can afford it. But even the other free benefits are wonderful… This place is really nice!
I’m currently six months pregnant with our first child. Absolutely wish there was something like this here as it looks so calming and helpful. If only😩
Run!! Go have the baby in Korea or Germany where you will be taken care of!!
Megan, I'm so happy for you!! I've been following your journey for years and years now and it's always really rewarding to see you meeting your goals. Hope you, the babies, and Moon are happy and health 😊
i love how you are always being yourself Megan ❤️ throughout the years you never lost your spontaneity and authenticity and you truly seem like a sweet sweet lady 🙏 congratulations to you and mr Moon for your babies 👨👩👧👦
long time fan here, love you girl ❤️
You’re totally spoiled in Korea after having a baby. They thought of everything! Glad you get pampered.
The US does not do enough for postpartum care or education. Most women are walking around target a week after, working out and cutting calories too soon like we've got something to prove.
When Mr.Moon opened your cookies for you I thought that was so sweet. The babies are so lucky to have great parents.
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.
😭
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!
I’m seriously considering moving to South Korea when I’m older and this is at the top of my list for reasons why
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).
@@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.
😆Love how you say "I ain't pregnant no mo" Glad they're facilities like this in Korea and Post Partum helper afterwards. It would be nice if Post Partum Care was talked about and taught equally along side pre-natal care in the USA.
wow! i wish we had this in Canada. when i had my C-section, they threw me out exactly 28 hours after the surgery! up you go lady, go home now!
That’s surprising, they kept me for 4 days after a c-section, and I had no complications. With my vaginal births I left right after the 24 hour mark.
😳
Im a korean & she's so cute when she says I'm an American in her intro!!
Congrats!! So happy u were spoiled korean mama style ❤
Oh, my.......the babies so precious, the tiny yawns and those dark eyes. I'm way too excited that all of you are safe and easing into this new stage of life.
So, another great video. The amenities and support structures are fantastic. It's so funny because I have a very different life from you, but from the time I started watching - years ago - I realized that you'll always explain things in a way that is interesting and entertaining to me.
Again, so much love, best wishes, and congratulations to you guys, 💜!
Megan, I don't know if you realize how amazing and extremely helpful your pregnancy diary has been for me personally. Thank you for being so consistent inspite of how tough pregnancy can be. Sending you, Moon, baby Ping and baby Pong immense hugs.
Also excited for the skin care. Because of you my skin has been glowing!!!! 💕
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.
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.
I’m glad you two love birds had such a great experience at the facility. I hope they bring these types of facilities to Canada. Also the twins are growing so well. May your family continue to flourish in love and Prosperity
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.
Glad to see she's being taken care of like a queen, she deserves it all. A C-section is horrifying and intense. America needs this!
It's great that you were able to go to this facility! Looks like it's really worth the cost, as they put so much care and consideration towards providing the support new mums would need. 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! 💕🙏
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.
Being in the hospital for 2 days to deliver my child cost be $5600 in the US. That was back in 2008 too. The US needs to get their medical system together.
When I was doing research on Korean expats in America, I found a study involving mothers who'd given birth in America and almost all of them said they wished these facilities were available here (either at all or just near them, I don't remember). After seeing this, I couldn't agree more!!
I like that because of this facility you were all able to finally go home together as I imagine having to go home without the twins in the first instance would have been a strange homecoming. It gives you the chance to heal properly and rest so that you can sort of ease into to the baby evolution about to commence. Mr & Mrs Moon looking complete and content, so nice 👍🏽
We need here in 🇺🇸 this is excellent for mothers at home. Helping mother heal because it is trauma to the body giving birth. Great ideal!!
I love the little things Mr. Moon does to help you like hold your phone or open your snacks for you. Its really cute
I gave birth in Germany and thought it was awesome. This is next level. Congratulations 🎉
Every country should have a facility like this. I'm so glad that you are making the most of it and having the good care and relaxation you deserve 🧡
Literally luxury 🥺 I’m only 23 but if i have a baby I’m doing it in Korea
In the Netherlands everyone gets a post partum care assistant/specialist for a week and its free.
Its part of our healthcare system. I think we are the only country in world.
That's so nice. 🥺✋
Yes I have experienced this in the Netherlands with my 2 girls, it is indeed a great help, especially if your a mom for the first time. I appreciated this a great deal. I am a witness to this!!
Girl!! I am past baby making but would love to be at this facility. The services for pregnancy and post party care are wonderful. Moms need this in every country. In US we should do this. It is a very gentle way to incorporate major change that is parenting into one's life. You look good Mamma!!! Glad you are blessed with your darlings!!
Congratulations 🎉 y’all i wish I had received care such as this especially having a cervical cerclage with both of my last two babies and then having postpartum preeclampsia
I only know about them because I watched a KDrama set in them lol always thought they'd be great after giving birth
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.
12:07 the way Moon is always on deck to help and serve is the sweetest thing!! Watching this channel has made me fall in love with Korean culture 💚
I hoping to have another baby, I think maybe I should move to South Korea. I needed that after birth facility when my son was born… wahh. I’m glad to see you guys doing well. God bless your family🙏🏼🥰
When I had my son, my Korean mother in law came to stay with us and she made me a seaweed soup that was supposed to be good for new moms. I have never been so spoiled because I love Korean food, yum!
Awww, i'm just soo happy to see u and everybody else doing well. Have a good speedy recovery Megan!
Congratulations to you and Mr. Moon! I'm so happy for the both of you. Thank you for giving us this enlightening video. I just hope that one day America could offer this for our mother's. I can't believe that the center has a hyperbaric chamber! I'm a RN and I used to work in wound care, our patients had phenomenal healing when this treatment was ordered but it was very expensive. Just seeing that it's ordered for post partum mom's makes me so happy, Korea really cares for its mothers❤❤
This is amazing, you both are so relaxed, I was lonely, exhausted and sad when I gave birth to my twins. It’s a whole story on its own, but this would have been a godsend.
This would be a big stress relief for first time moms and Postpartum Women in general! We need thisssss!
Why di u feel like we are over here living in the dark ages with American health care!!! This is awesome and I would not know about this if not for you. Good video!
It really does feel like that. A facility like this would be soo beneficial 😭❤️😭❤️
@@DearStephanieX in the US a device like this and the at home after care would be so expensive that only mega rich people could afford it!
Because in America everything is about money and pharmaceuticals making money off of people's pain and suffering
@@wtmb1863 I know it’s actually disgusting when you think about it
I love how Mr. Moon just held you hand during the whole explanation. Silent but supportive 😂
Yes we do!!! I’ve had two c sections.. was given some ibuprofen and some pads and shoved out the door within 48 hours 😠
A facility like this actually recently opened up in Japan. We need more of these around the world for sure.
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. Congratulations! and well done to you birth is no small task and neither is parenthood. On the bright side of a c section, (and there aren't many) but the one upside is you won't be peeing when you laugh, so there's that. Lol. You made a rough thing look pretty damn glamourous, and the babies are beautiful.
I love how Mr. Moon has embraced the whole video thing, it warms my heart to see it!
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
So true,we have NOTHING like this hey
I didn't know a lot of Koreans weren't used to taking care of kids. That's wonderful they have people there to teach them!!
breastfeeding support is so damn important. glad you're accessing a great healthcare service. even happier that all of you are safely back home!
