Hi I’m 34 weeks and in Mapo Gu
Hello, 7 weeks pregnant in Korea
Hello future moms and new moms, I recently found out that we’re going to have a little bundle of joy in our lives. I live in Korea, but I’m not Korean. I don’t have many friends here, and I haven’t found any friends who are going to become parents anytime soon. I’m looking forward to bonding with moms-to-be who are around the same stage as me, so we can share our experiences and learn from each other. If you’re a few months ahead of me, you’re still very welcome—I’d love to make a few mom friends either way. All moms-to-be are welcome, but especially those living in Seoul or Suwon.

Hello, Congratulations! I'm six weeks pregnant with twins. I live in the Suwon area. Is it your first baby? It's my first time going through this journey, and I'm pretty nervous, haha. How is it going for you?
Hello! Congratulations to you and your family~! I live out in the Hwasun/Gwangju, Jeollanam-do area. It can be isolating when you don’t have other friends who aren’t going through the same phase of life as you, so good on you for reaching out and finding your support group! I gave birth to my second Dec 2025. I’m lacking in sleep and sometimes sanity (I also have a 2 year old daughter😅), but we are surviving! Congrats again to you, and hope your pregnancy and birth are a smooth one!!😻
I think I have a lot to learn from your experience. What would you say was the most difficult part about becoming a mom the first time?
I read a lot of pregnancy books (ie What to Expect When You’re Expecting), took an infant CPR class with my husband, and I even spoke with a doula online that was based in Korea, but all of that knowledge I gathered went out the window once my daughter came, husband went back to work immediately, and I was on my own most of the day. My Korean mother-in-law really stepped up and helped me, but I was experiencing mom guilt because I thought I had to do everything perfectly, and if I made a mistake or forgot to do something, I was a horrible mom. The language barrier, and being so far away from my own family didn’t help at all either, but I learned that not everything my MIL suggests I do means that I’m obligated to do it - that I can just listen, and then choose not to do it haha! And my parents flew out here to visit, and I got to go home to visit, so I adapted and felt better with time. Everything is a learning process the first time, so remember to give yourself some grace, and always check in with yourself physically and mentally! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask~🥰
