If you're considering having a doula, get in touch with one as soon as possible! There's only very few in Korea, and we get booked fast :)
Arrange an interview, whether via video call or face-to-face, and take it from there. But don't wait! There's nothing we hate more than saying "Sorry, I'm booked up" :(

We may feel the stigma against people of size is especially bad in Korea, but truth is, it's bad everywhere. If you're a larger person preparing to give birth, you will probably find obstacles in your care, and your preparedness matters even more.

Holding baby in your arms after giving birth is not just a reward for all the hard work of pregnancy and birth: it has undeniable health benefits!

In many Korean hospitals, baby is taken away almost immediately after birth for weighing and measuring, but that can wait! Skin-to-skin is also more effective than a warming bed to regulate baby's temperature, and if baby needs to receive oxygen, this can be easily done at bedside (especially if the cord hasn't been cut yet).

Talk to your provider about having skin-to-skin contact with your baby after birth, at least until after the first feed -- most babies will be ready to nurse in the labor and delivery room. If you are unable to have skin contact immediately after birth, for example in case of a c-section, you can advocate for the possibility to hold your baby as soon as you are able, and be supported in initiated breastfeeding.

The study linked below found an especially evident impact on children with a high genetic risk of developing asthma—a protective effect. How fascinating is human milk!

New first-of-its-kind research provides insights into an important health-boosting ingredient of human breast milk. A team led by Dr. Qingling Duan, Queen's University’s National Scholar in Bioinformatics, partnered on the groundbreaking research in CHILD Cohort Study (CHILD). The major, multi-yea...
