  1. Congratulations! I had a baby too right around the same time you did here in Japan! (?? Someone said February??) And me and my non-Japanese husband had to navigate it all on our own too. I can't believe you took an hour taxi tho!! My hospital basically told me I either had to have a planned delivery (induce) or stay nearby a few weeks before my due date because my home was an hour and a half away. (I really wanted that epidural without inducing, lol)

  2. Most of my female friends don't think it's necessary to stay in the hospital for a week when having a baby. And one of the services is an ice bath?! I am not sure I heard this correctly. But cold showers and cold baths are just not for me. An ice bath would be even worse. ❄❄❄🛁❄❄❄

  3. Wow..I have 5 children in Michigan and I had my own room and my babies with me by choice. The food was great. No $300 refund but lots of free stuff including a car seat, formula, breast pump, diapers, etc😂 it was awesome. No one from high school or college would I thought I would give birth 5x. I laugh at the thought and believe that’s why my pregnancy and deliveries of 4 hours or less with an epidural every time! He must have wanted me have 5 bc I surprised myself. Definitely, to God belongs the glory ❤

  4. That sounds like an amazing experience.
    When I had my daughter here in the states, I had a really nice staff of nurses and doctors that helped me BUT I could not wait to get out of the hospital!
    I’m a little envious of your experience! Lol. 😊

  5. Congrats on the baby again, Loretta p, Boomer and Lily!!! God’s blessings for you guys raising little Shacho, and oh my she’s such a cutie little kid it’s adorable and beautiful to see just how much you all love her and excited to have her around and being tired part of your beautiful family 😊

  6. Loretta, I started watching you in middle school when I started learning Japanese, I now just turned 24! I am so excited for you 😊! I wish you and your family good health, happiness, and many many more years to come 😊❤️

  7. First video of your channel I've seen. You share some wonderful info. Have lived overseas but delivered my children in the U.S. One was a hospital birth and the other was a home birth. Have heard of some variations of options with home birth and and birthing clinics. Birthing clinics weren't an option in our previous area.

  8. Sister, it's actually 牛乳 (ぎゅうにゅう). Cow milk.
    I studied Japanese in Japan over 20 years ago but I still remember this word.
    Life is much safer in Japan and they have a great social system (I'm European). When I lived there, one of my neighbours was an American woman who delivered 2 babies in Japan. She was a single mother so the government granted her money to allow her to comfortably raise her children without having to work. I think she was receiving about the equivalent of over USD 2,000 per month plus free things such as diapers, it was in the late 1990s, probably 1998 and 1999. I used to be a student there so my health insurance was only USD 50 a month but it offered full health care. In Europe, most services are run by the government and are accessible to all. In the hospital we sometimes have to pay a little amount of money as admission fee but everything is free for those who do not have money. Work taxation, on the other hand, is very expensive (over 50% of your income), however I had surgery three times in Italy and did not have to pay any money. We also get special discounts, even up to 80% or free if you are poor, for prescribed medication only. Housing, though difficult to obtain due to the high demand, is also offered at very low monthly rent for those in need. Only the US seem to be a country which value money over human needs.

  9. When I lived in Japan from 1995 to 2000, I used to be the patient of a highly skilled acupuncturist. He showed me how, with acupuncture, they could turn a baby who was about to be born, to prepare her/him for the delivery thus avoiding a cesarean cut to the mother. He also showed me acupuncture used instead of anesthesia where a person remains completely conscious during surgery without feeling any pain. However, I had to pay for the so called alternative medicine though it's the most ancient medicine in the world (Traditional Chinese Medicine).

  10. This is so annoying. The US is supposed to be the richest country in the world-American mothers should be getting massages and fancy food but no! All we get is a big bill. The US should cut the welfare and treat those who work the way they deserve to be treated. The US’s growing underclass brings everything down.

  11. Just came across your video and love it.
    I gave birth to my daughter over 21 years ago in Taiwan and had a great experience. I stayed in the hospital for five days, had paid time off, and was cared for wonderfully.
    Mothers are really cared for after giving birth. Such a preferable way.

  12. So brave. Definitely as a black woman would have had baby at home! Never would have dreamed of using the hospital in Japan! So happy you are both in good health!
