      @Wendy Regis I think that's narrow-minded and needlessly pessimistic. If the South Korean government didn't care for mentally ill mothers, then why would they offer mental health treatment? Additionally, many causes of mental illness stem from a lack of support (financial or otherwise), which this system seems to have handled in spades. I'm sure their government isn't perfect, but we as foreigners can't assume things about it if we haven't personally experienced it or heard from someone who has.

      It also depends on the state and your job. I'm a flight attendant based out of NY so my entire pregnancy and appointments was 6k. It could have been 3k but i signed up for medicaid late. I had a few extra test because im older and i had a ambulance ride and emergency c section. I got a lot of free stuff from my insurance company. I also got leave from 6 months pregnant until my baby was a year old. All paid for. Now that is completely unusual here but this is why I would only have a baby in NY or Boston.

    When living in Japan I had a “Help Mark” tag to get a seat for my internal disability on the train. I had very similar experiences that unless I had my crutch or was visibility falling some people often wouldn’t offer their seat. Ironically the elderly were the most likely to offer their seats, while young people avoided eye contact until I asked for them to stand. Rarely would someone say no and it usually didn’t go well for them. Elderly passengers would scold them in front of everyone, which honestly was a tad satisfying. Overall most people were very kind. Especially the grandmas and grandpas.

    Dang! I'd heard that the birth giving experience was great in Japan (from some UA-camrs and the mother of my adorable godson) but I'd never heard anything about Korea! This great info for ppl looking to have babies in Korea!
    Also its so interesting that they separate the old ppl and pregger lady seats! In Japan they just have a section for old/preggers/physically disabled/help tag. But ppl sit there with no regard for human life- but that's a comment for another day lol

    The produce thing I haven’t heard of before! We live in Daejeon and the benefits differ by area. Some places like Sejong give new parents a higher amount of money than some areas in Daejeon, etc. because I think the city also allocates funds towards encouraging people to have kids. I really loved having a baby in Korea and free daycare and free meals at daycare is amazing! In the US, daycare is so expensive and on top of that you have to send lunch with them every day!

    We get something called Kindergeld(literally child money) here in Germany for every child that is born.
    Of course the delivery and all doctors visits are covered by insurance as well and stuff like daycare is heavily subsidised and gets cheaper with every child you have.
    I personally don't want children but I think it's a good thing to support families.

    OK so as someone who works customer service at a power company, the fact that you get a discount on your electricity is actually really cool and makes perfect sense.
    When I take a high bill call, if it is not heating (it's almost always heating, I'm in Canada), the number of people and the general age of them (elderly, teen, baby) is the next thing that we ask. Everyone's power usage is very individualized, but there are some general trends that we expect to see.
    - People tend to fuss more about making sure the temperature is perfect for babies and the elderly, more so that if they were living alone, using more power to heat/cool/humidify/dehumidify.
    - With the addition of another human in general, let alone a baby, there is all the extra laundry, especially if you are using hot water.
    - As far as teens, the reason we ask that is that teens tend to take long showers. Using kWh, because that is universal, but if 1 person takes a 10 minute shower every day for 30 days, that alone would be around 120kWh on your power bill, so if your teen is taking 20 minute showers, expect that to double. With our rates 120kWh is just under 15$, so if you have 2 teens who like long showers and 2 adults in the house, that is 90$ before tax just in showers alone.
    The things that we look are temperature control (Including pools and hot tubs), hot water use (including are their any leaking taps, if it is dripping hot water, hour water heater is turning on continuously to keep the water in the tank hot) & major appliances (fridges, freezers, ovens especially, AKA the ones that heat and cool... ). Yes turning off your lights helps, but a single 800 Lumens LED bulb that is on 24 hours a day for 30 days uses around 10 kWh.

      Same in Germany, both of my siblings have two kids each and that cost them nothing. Of course the care still does but doctors visits are free and all others kinds of treatments are too until they are 18. Even then it's very affordable or even free if you are chronically ill.
      My nephew has ASD and ADHD and had a whole bunch of other stuff going on like a stutter so he really got the most out of his free coverage as a child. 😂

      It doesnt have to be though 🥺
      More woman should have been taught about the golden hour.
      I did it and it works!
      Babies come out with an instinct just for feeding but if we dont know how to allow the process to happen as soon as they are born.. its almost like a dream you forget when you wake it.
      If you dont allow the baby to recall the instinct immediately, often it gets lost. Thats when the classes are great.. cause then its like you both are learning this foreign action but all along it was instinctual!
      So thankful that classes are a thing.
      Happy learning and sharing 🙂

    wow that is so awesome that Korea is so good to their mothers to be it's so refreshing because here in the US as you know it's not good. Very expensive and insurance companies will only pay for one overnight stay after giving birth unless you have a C-section. I kept taking my prenatal vitamins for at least 6 to 10 months after I had my daughter because I breastfed and my doctor said the vitamins were very beneficial for breastfeeding and I breastfed for almost 2 years. I breastfed for almost 2 years because my doctor said if you breastfeed for two years it gives the baby extra health benefits. Although some women have problems breastfeeding and getting the baby to latch or have pain in the beginning. I personally had no problems. My daughter latched on no problem, never really had pain. She did refuse the bottle though but she was just preferred nursing, she was kinda crazy for it I say that jokingly of course LOL. It was difficult for me to get her to stop nursing even though she was eating food but when she started asking for it by name I said okay we got to stop. She's 21 years old now and I'm so glad I breastfed her and was able to with no problems as I think it really helped with her health as we have allergy asthma autoimmune diseases that run in the family. I thought I'd share my experience because not all women who breastfeed have problems it was wonderful in my opinion. Not to mention it helps you lose weight fast even after having a c-section and not being able to exercise.
