#44 | Cindy's Remarkable Pain Free Birth in South Korea!

Welcome back to the Pain Free Birth Podcast. Today, I’m interviewing Cindy Park-Jun about her birth story of delivering two babies in South Korea. Cindy is a Korean American mom who lives in South Korea with her husband.  And after navigating IVF pregnancy, she decided to birth in South Korea where they were living at the time in a completely different culture with a language she didn't fully know. She shares how God guided her to a natural birth in a country with one of the highest cesarean and intervention rates in the world.  Get 10% off the Pain Free Birth E-course  https://painfreebirth.thrivecart.com/pain-free-birth/ Grab the Healing Birth Trauma Course  https://painfreebirth.com/healing-birth-trauma/ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Cindy's Journey to Motherhood in South Korea06:05 Cultural Differences in Birth Practices12:06 The State of Women's Health in South Korea18:50 Cindy's Birth Experience: A Personal Account22:11 Natural Birth Experience in South Korea24:20 Labor and Supportive Partners27:11 Tools and Techniques for Labor30:44 The Fast-Paced Nature of Labor33:05 Decisions During Pushing36:30 Postpartum Care Practices39:05 Breastfeeding Challenges and Advocacy42:11 Advocating for Better Maternity Care44:46 The Journey of Natural Birth48:09 Cultural Perspectives on Birth Choices50:00 Embracing the Birth Experience56:53 The Power of Support in Birth01:00:06 Encouragement for Expecting MothersCONNECT WITH KAREN:Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@painfreebirthwithkarenwelton Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/painfreebirth Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/painfreebirth/ Spotify Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/5zEiKMIHFewZeVdzfBSEMS Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/pain-free-birth/id1696179731Website - https://painfreebirth.com/ Email List https://pain-free-birth.mykajabi.com/website-opt-inCONNECT WITH CINDYInstagram - instagram.com/cindyparkjun
