All countries should have this ๐ญ This could greatly lessen postpartum depression and psychosis, and physical healing. As well as allowing mothers to navigate having a newborn in a safe environment that doesnโt force strenuous activities/expectations on them โค๏ธ

Agree, especially for new mothers, single mothers and those that doesnโt have any support at all from their families.

@@annaqtjoey when I came home after giving birth to my first child, the first thing my husband said as we came through the door was "what's for supper?" I burst into tears, and then he went out to bring home McDonalds ๐...I wish they had something like this in the US, because I believe this happens more often than we'd like to think.

I wish. We had zero support from anyone. My in laws came over, played pass the baby, asked me incredibly rude invasive questions and I was so tired that I answered but I felt like a non person. and they critiqued everything we did without helping us at all. and the kicker was they came at lunch time, did not bring us food, took up all our time so we couldn't eat, and then left. so they could cook my husbands brother food. he is single and an adult man living on his own. No one brought us food. No one helped us with anything. We were exhausted and trying to survive and had no clue what we were doing.

โ@kfwilliams5773 What??? that's awful! I can't imagine how sexist and unsympathetic you have to be to expect someone who just gave birth to cook for you like if anything HE should have been cooking.

The concept is similar but I believe it has evolved to this modern facility/service in South Korea due to convenience. In other Asian countries, postpartum care is often translated as 'confinement'. Traditionally the same taboos are applied and care are provided by the other women of the household (or in-laws). In modern times, this has brought about the hiring of a 'confinement lady', a skilled woman who would live in and assist the new mother; there are even tiers of 'packages' offered. I remember seeing a documentary about how France had a postpartum service where medical personnel would routinely make house calls to check up on new mothers, but I'm not sure if this is still a thing.
As a British mother this kind of service would have been a god send if it was available here. Korean culture does so much for the mother and child. Hope you both are doing well and your nausea has subsided Gabie and thank you for this very informative video. ๐

unfortunately, the reality of the "Sanhujoriwon or postnatal centre" is not so nice at it seems. There are different reasons why those services are not implemented in any European country. This is a paragraph from the article "Effects of a maternal role adjustment program for first time mothers who use postpartum care centers (Sanhujoriwon) in South Korea: a quasi-experimental study" : "...it appears that Sanhujoriwon have some significant problems in maternity care management, particularly related to breastfeeding success, family-infant bonding and overall infant care ability. Although childbirth and parenthood is a family-centered phenomenon and family centered care is widely recognized as the global standard of care during the postpartum period [7,8,9], rooming-in is not currently the norm within Sanhujoriwon [6, 10]. Not surprisingly, this environment is associated with decreased breastfeeding success and increased parental stress after discharge from Sanhujoriwon [10, 11]. According to a national survey in 2018 regarding Sanhujoriwon use, only 3% of postpartum women using Sanhujoriwon โroomed inโ with their infants for 24โh and the average daily time spent with infants was only 4.2โh.

โ@nicolad8822 social issues. Like job pressures and increasing likehood that you will have to look after your elderly relatives is a big reason for the low birth rate.

As someone who had three babies in the United States, I so wish this was a thing here. Postpartum I was exhausted and swollen and uncomfortable. I would have loved a supportive team to help with the baby while I recovered as their dad had to go right back to work so it was just me.
I imagine they are equipped to spot postpartum depression or bonding issues. What a beautiful support.

from the article "Effects of a maternal role adjustment program for first time mothers who use postpartum care centers (Sanhujoriwon) in South Korea: a quasi-experimental study: "Mother-infant interaction and social support are important influencing factors on maternal role adjustment for the first time mother [11, 12]. So lessening these opportunities within the Sanhujoriwon may have a negative impact on infant care ability and breastfeeding success of first time mothers. Previous studies to explore the effect of Sanhujoriwon use reported that parenting stress and postpartum depression were higher in mothers who used Sanhujoriwon than mothers who did not use it after discharge from Sanhujoriwon [11, 13]. A qualitative study on experiences of Sanhujoriwon use also showed that first time mothers who stayed in Sanhujoriwon had more difficulty breastfeeding and providing infant care after discharge"

A real measure of any nation is how it cares for its most vulnerable. Beautiful video--thanks from Texas.
They say it takes a village to raise a baby but I truly believe it takes a village to support a mom to raise that baby. We have this culture in Malaysia too but unfortunately, I feel like I REALLY missed out having a baby in Switzerland. So much so that IF I have another one, I am considering going back to have the baby eventhough child birth is free in Switzerland. A new mom needs ALL the support she can get. For me, breastfeeding was painful, recovery was slow, my husband didn't really grasps how hard things could be even though, I did talk about it prior to birth..so..it was hard. It's nice that Josh is so hands on invested from the start. It will make a huge difference. So happy for you both, a beautiful journey from the start.โค Oh! And you're going to be amazing parents! I know it! Don't worry Gabie! You can do it! ๐
I hope things go well during birth and post natal for you Gabie! Us Chinese have a 1 month confinement post natal care centres as well! Itโs interesting to see all the similarities and differences in the Korean post natal care centres! Thank you for sharing ๐
I had my beautiful son at 32 weeks, as my waters broke at 31 I didn't go into to spontius labour, had to be induced. Unfortunately I had an infection due to not having any water. My son was born with out a heart beat. On the 3rd try to get it restarted it worked. He was the in intensive care and was fed though a nasal tude. He has never looked back, he is a miracle turning 11 soon. The hardest part for me was leaving hospital without my baby. I was OK to leave but he was too poorly. The best advice given to me was a lovely midwife who said a happy mum=a happy baby. Its OK to say your finding it hard. I couldn't hold my son for 12 hours, skin to skin with him out side the incubator was amazing. โค but I was alone, ๐ข I didn't even get to the end of my prenatal lessons lol ๐

This was amazing. I'm so glad you were able to experience it!
To Josh and Gabie: Due to bringing Korean culture to the United Kingdom through foods and entertainment and giving both of your parents a grandchild, both of you deserved more than just an unexpected date by the Joriwon. Both of you deserved the best of everything that can be provided to both of you!
these post-partum services are available in Malaysia and China too. I'm sure some other Asian countries have these services as well, as Asians deeply believe that new mothers need special care for a month in order to recover from giving birth. You literally made a human being! The food served are carefully curated to replenish loss nutrients & revitalizes the body.

There are people in the UK called Postnatal Doulas that you can hire and they can either live with you or visit and stay all day. They help with feeding support, all baby needs, cooking, cleaning etc. Definitely worth having a look x

we have care too in our country for mothers after birth. This person will come to your house help during labour and take care of you and the baby and your other children during the day. In the afternoon they go and leave you and the father will take care after work. This person (kraamhulp) will stay for a week during the day.
