YouTuber Goo Ga-bi confessed to experiencing trauma while sharing her postpartum experiences in the United Kingdom.

Recently, Goo Ga-bi uploaded a video titled "Korean Parenting vs. British Parenting: What I Felt Raising My Child in the UK" on her YouTube channel.

In the video, Goo Ga-bi compared childbirth processes and parenting styles between Korea and the UK, sharing various stories. During the discussion, she stated, "The childbirth process, postpartum period, and postnatal care are truly different."

She recalled the time of her delivery, saying, "I had a C-section to give birth to my daughter, but in the UK, (the doctor) kept trying to persuade me against having a C-section. However, since my daughter was in a breech position, I had no choice but to undergo a C-section. That process was actually very good. It wasn't painful."

She continued, "My experience at the hospital after giving birth and my postnatal care were extreme. It was really bad. Even now, thinking back to that time brings tears to my eyes because I was so deeply hurt. To be honest, it can be considered a trauma," she revealed, evoking sympathy.

Goo Ga-bi added, "Hearing stories from friends who gave birth in Korea, I learned that many experts helped them. The stress they experienced during their postpartum recovery period was incomparably less than mine. That made me envious."

She also shared, "I was discharged just 48 hours after my C-section. I have four friends who went through pregnancy, and all of them had natural deliveries without epidurals. Those friends found the process difficult but recovered quickly. I didn't feel the pain of childbirth, but I felt lonely because I didn't have a friend with whom I could empathize about the recovery."

She added, "I didn't even know if my wound was healing properly, and I wondered if this was normal, which made me feel difficult and lonely. It was disappointing that there was no professional support."

Meanwhile, Goo Ga-bi married YouTuber 'British Guy' Josh in 2016 and has one daughter.
