Postpartum doulas in the U.S. are less common and considerably more costly.
Laundry, bottle sanitizing, and other cleaningWhile new moms in the U.S. continue to fight tooth and nail for any bit of help after delivery, Korea seems to understand — and meet — the needs of new moms on a whole different level. Even their postpartum hospital stays are longer: Korean moms who experience uncomplicated vaginal births still stay at the hospital with extra help for three to five days. As a reminder, in the U.S., you would only stay 24-48 hours.
around the country where moms and babies go for 1-2 weeks after their hospital stay to receive additional care and help. These stays cost between 1.2 million won to 38 million won for a 14-day stay, depending on the area you live in.Postpartum doulas can cost anywhere from $25-50 an hour. Meaning that, even if your doula only stays for an 8-hour shift to help with daytime duties, you could spend nearly $3000 for a third of the help you’d receive at a care center in Korea. That’s a financial burden many families just can’t swallow postpartum, especially given that paid maternity leave is practically nonexistent in the U.S.
The lesson here? It’s worth your time to see if there are any Korean postpartum care services near you. Either that... or consider a move to Korea for your next birth!
