Calling any and all women who have given birth in Korea and don't mind sharing some of the personal details about procedures, birth positions, whether or not you used lamaze techniques and what drugs were available to you and when etc.....

I'm particularly interested in your story, Tzechuk, since you used the same clinic, but don't want to ask about it unless you give me the go ahead.

Please PM me or post here if you've personally given birth in Korea and don't mind me asking you personal questions about it via PM. I respect the expat Dads too, but I know that their experience is always quite different from what their wives experience, so I'm more interested in hearing from women this time around! Thanks in advance.

Are you going to one of those after care facilities? I heard everyone's doing it, but I'm not~ I'm not about to spend over 1 miilion won on a place that keeps the room temp at 30 degrees C and you only eat miyuk kook!!!!

Nope, my mom will probably be here then and it's weird to me to stay somewhere just because. I'd like to go home as soon as possible. Bringing my baby home is the thing I really can't wait for!

I can't offer advice about birth in Korea, but I wanted to add I am so excited for you both. I can also agree with being at home as soon as possbile is most comfortable. I was out within 24 hours. My in-laws thought I was some kind of superwoman.
