今回は、日本の出産にまつわる驚きの実態について 紹介すっぞ

So i'm back with another video, this one a little bit different than what we usually do on this channel

今回の動画は、このチャンネルで 普段紹介してるのとはちょっと違うぞ

But as a lot of you know, I recently had a baby boy

知ってる人も多いと思うけど、 オラ、最近息子が生まれたんだ

So I wanted to share this

みんなにオラの経験をシェアする いい機会だと思ってさ

Experience with you because it totally had me surprised about all the different things that I do here in Japan

日本で出産でするいろんなことに、 オラはすごく驚かされたから

Especially me coming from a western country the U.S., but in order for me to do that, I need to bring in some special guests.

特にオラはアメリカ出身だから

Hey

この話をするために、スペシャルゲストを 迎えねぇとな

Say hello to everyone

ウルフィー、「こんにちは」は？

Konnichiwa

ハローって挨拶すんだ

What's that? it's mic, oh, he's really into the mic right now

あれ何だろうね？ あれはマイクだよ

If you guys actually want to see what we're doing on the daily, if you guys want to see you know

今、マイクに釘付けになってる

What's happening in our regular lives either check out our Instagram account Tokyo Zebra or check out our YouTube channel. Right Wolfie?

オラ達の日常生活はTokyo.zebraのインスタグラムか

Yeah, yeah, give me a hug before you go.

ユーチューブチャンネルをのぞいてみてくれ

He's a lip syrup today

ウルフィー、そうだろ？

All right

行く前にハグしようぜ

How is he good? Yeah

なんかいつもよりこの子唇分厚くない？

Oh also before we start if you guys want to see what we're doing on the daily check out our Instagram accounts

あいつは大丈夫か？

And if you want to help support the channel check out the Japan merch finally if you guys have any questions

もう、会えなくて寂しいもんね

Check out the discord community right there. So the first thing uh, that was really surprising about Japan

始める前に、、

Is painless birth and the fact is like in the U.S. they actually don't even call it painless part. They call it epidurals

オラ達個人の日常はインスタでチェックしてくれ

Oh, okay. Yeah, but in Japan they call it painless painless birth. We call it: Mutsu Bunben

チャンネルサポートはグッズ購入からお願いな

in Japan. I was surprised that it's not very common here in Japan. I think from like statistics

日本について質問があるなら、 オラのDISCORDコミュニティにアクセスするんだぞ

It's about 5.3 % of all women giving birth in Japan use it

まず最初に驚いたことと言えば

So it's very very low. I can count the girls who had a Mutsu Bun Ben, Yeah.

無痛分娩に関して

Most the girls use regular natural work a lot of the the doctors in the community say that childbirth and like

アメリカでは、無痛分娩って言わねぇんだ

experiencing the pain is kind of like a natural part of becoming a mother so that they

英語ではepidurals（角膜外の）って言うんだ

want to like have the woman experience that also a lot of like doctors think that childbirth is not actually a

そうなのね

Like medical operation and they don't think that you should use medicine in order to give birth. It should be something natural

日本だと「無痛」だろ

So that's why they don't have this painless birth. People in Japan,

オラが驚いたのは、日本では一般的ではないってこと

Basically believe that having a pain will make you a mother and it's interesting because like since it's not really practiced here in Japan

統計によると、日本では5.3%しか無痛分娩を行っていないんだ

There's not a lot of like a lot of the hospitals you go to won't even offer it so I think in Tokyo alone

だからすごく少ねぇ

There's only about 56 hospitals or clinics that offer painless childbirth, right?

私の友達で無痛分娩をした子は数えれるもんね

So it's like very very difficult and for us living like in the center of Tokyo. There was only about like five places

ほとんどの子が自然分娩したかな

That we could go to like that. It was like in commuting distance. Yeah, like even like though all those five they don't all offer

日本の医師やコミュニティは

24-hour service. Yeah for the Mutsu Bun Ben because there's like a limited number of doctor who does the "Masui"

出産に伴う痛みは母親になるために 発生する自然な痛みだって言ってる

Anesthesiologist. Yeah

だから、女性達に体験した方がいいと思ってる

Yes, they have a limited number of them

それに、出産は医療手術ではないと言ってる 医師も多いんだ

So they don't offer that at night or on weekend. If you have contractions

だから、出産するのに麻酔はいらないって言ってる

Yeah on either of those times. You're pretty much, you know screwed so

自然なことだから

I had to choose the one that over 24 hours, which was just two for me. Oh, okay. Yeah since the hospital so those

だから、無痛分娩が多くねぇんだ

Mutsu Bun Ben that are limited. Um, the beds are limited, right so you have to book it right when you find out that you're pregnant

日本では、出産の痛みが母親にさせるって 信じてる人も多いの

So when we were like when was that like five weeks like right when you found out that you were pregnant?

日本ではまだそこまで一般的にしていない 医療施術だから

Yeah, I was pregnant and I had this like letter that says I'm pregnant. I had to make a phone call. I'm only five weeks

麻酔自体を一切しない産院のが多いんだ

To book the bed. I felt like it was like you applying to college or something where you're like

東京だけで見ると、５６箇所の病院で 無痛分娩ができるらしい

Well, I give are we gonna get in? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

特に、オラ達は東京のど真ん中に住んでるから

Yeah, and then like I actually get rejected it's really really really competitive. Yeah

たった５つの産院しかなかったんだよな

Okay, so that's the first thing that was surprising another thing

通えるところにあったのが

That's surprising. I think a lot of people were surprised also that are watching our vlog

しかも、その５つの産院の全てで24時間無痛分娩が できるわけじゃなかったんだよね

You know on our Tokyo Zebra channel is that the stay is actually quite long

麻酔医師の数が限られてるから

It's actually like about five to seven days on average here in Japan

anaesthesiologist

Yeah, in my case. It was four days after giving birth one day before because it was the plan delivery

それそれ

So you said six days five nights six days five nights

その人達の数が限られてるから

Yeah, so I was actually quite surprised with like the total length

夜間と週末には無痛分娩ができない産院が多いの

But then I was actually also kind of surprised at how much it really cost here in Japan. In the States,

もし陣痛がその時に来ちゃったらさ

It's actually quite expensive in some other western countries, but from what I hear like in other european countries, it's actually free.

最悪だよね

Yeah, I think Canada is also free here in Japan

だから私は24時間毎日 無痛分娩ができる病院を選んだの

You actually end up paying about 500 000 to about a little over a million yen

私の場合、２つの産院からしか選べなかった

Yep, but you also do get some government assistance, but that really depends on which wards you live in right?

それから、無痛分娩ができる参院の数に 限りがあるから

Well, some wards offers like additional support like Shibuyaku and Minatoko as far as I know. Yeah, they offered

ベッドの数も限られるでしょ

Jumanonijuman, so that's like a little bit extra

だから、妊娠が発覚したらすぐに ベッドを予約しなきゃいけないの

But like that's a rare case. I think in our case we ended up spending about childbirth itself... It was about

私の場合、あれ５週くらいだっけ？

1.1 million yen, and then we had about

妊娠ってわかって本当すぐだったよな

520 000 yen, from the government

妊娠がわかって、妊娠してますって言う 証明書みたいなのをもらうのね

So roughly paid around 600 000 yen, which is like roughly around 5000 dollars to give childbirth

で、すぐに電話しなきゃいけなかったの たったの５週でだよ

So for the six days, that's actually pretty good like they took care of you

ベッドを確保するためにね

and some of the things that were kind of interesting is like it's not actually your regular stay which also kind of

大学への進学申請する時みてぇだよな

Blew me away. Um, you also actually had a welcome pack, right? Oh, yeah

「オラ、合格したのか？」って

Yeah

そうそうそう

When you book the stay or the bed, I got this little piece of paper

しかも、断られた産院もあったし

Basically tells you like so this is what we offer you like a gift bag and this is what you need to bring

すごくすごく競争率が高いの 東京はね

So the things they offered are fast bassett hair dryer

それが最初に驚かされたことだな

breastfeeding pillow bath towels baby clothes diapers and wipes

もう一つは、

basically what you need to take care of the baby and just like live normally. It almost sounds like you're checking into a Hotel

TOKYO ZEBRAチャンネルの視聴者のみんなも 結構驚いてたことなんだけど

yeah, yeah, basically, yeah. Yeah, you actually don't really need to bring anything. In my case

入院期間の長さだな

Yeah, but our hospital was like kind of like a smaller like personal clinic and if you go to a bigger like giant hospitals

日本では、出産時に平均５〜7日間入院するんだ

Yeah, they offer less stuff. So you actually have to bring a lot of stuff before I continue

私の場合はね

I wanted to give a quick shout out to our sponsor Square Space

Or slash Paolo from Tokyo and get 10 off your first domain or website and something that's pretty comforting when

でも、政府からいくらかサポートが出るんだ

going and like staying there is they actually

でもいくら払われるかはどの区に住んでるかで 結構変わってくる

Give the mothers, classes or they provide or offer these classes to them

そうだね

So you go in not only just to give birth, but you actually learn like how to take care of your baby

一部の区では、追加で補助金が出るの

I think that hospital's stay actually is the time to learn like that's what hospital like, you know prepares for the mothers

私が知ってる限り、渋谷区と港区はそうだね

Yeah, so they have really good classes with other mothers like breastfeeding

１０万か２０万プラスでもらえるのよね

how to put the baby in the bath and what you should be worrying about after the hospital's stay

でも、これは珍しいケースだと思う

It's like all of the mothers that are having babies at the same time will get together

オラ達の場合はと言うと

You know at certain times during the day with the nurses and then they'll like teach you

出産費用が110万

All the different things that you need to do and if you have any questions, for example, you know

区からの補助金が５２万

What color should the poop be? How much are you supposed to be breastfeeding?

だから合計大体６０万くらい払うことになった

How do I change diapers like how to cut nails like all the questions like mothers would have?

5000ドルクレェかな

They have all of them in one group so that they can ask the questions together and you know learn all at the same time

６日間でそれなら悪くねぇのかな

Unfortunately because of the quarantine, um the classes

ちゃんとケアしてもらってたし

Yeah, she couldn't it's cancelled. They she couldn't yeah, it got cancelled

他にも興味深いことがあった

Yeah, unfortunately, but they did give you like at least one class, right? It wasn't much of a class, but it was like a lecture

ウェルカムパックがあったんだ そうだろ？

Yeah, just for the um the bath, baby

まぁ、そうかな

Yeah, um the nurse just showed me how to bathe the baby, but I also got this little booklet

ベッドを確保する時にね

This was the um material for the um classes that I was supposed to take. It actually has this like how to bath a baby

この冊子をもらったの

And what you should prepare for the bath and also..

これにはギフトバッグに何が用意されてて

All about babies health so you have like an instruction manual

家から何を持っていけばいいかが書かれてるの

For how to raise your baby. Since I couldn't get the class

用意されてたのは

Uh, the nurse actually came to my room and like she actually went over everything. Yeah. Yeah, so that was actually nice

産褥パッド、バスセット、ドライヤー、授乳クッション、バスタオル、ベビー服、おむつ、お尻ふき、

Yeah, so it's like instead of having, you know, like a group class. You got like a private class

赤ちゃんをケアするのに必要なものと、 私が生活するのに最低限必要なものがそろってた

And then there was some stuff that was kind of specific to our clinic that were also pretty surprising

ホテルにチェックインするみてぇだな

I've heard some stories about like how hard it is right after pregnancy here in Japan and like also in the States

ま、そんな感じか

How hard it is but like this specific hospital like really focused on recovery

正直何も持っていかなくてもよかったかも

Right. Um, they really wanted to make sure that the mother was properly taken care of. So for example,

私の場合はだけど

If she got tired like at night or wanted to get some sleep

私が出産したクリニックは割と小さめの プライベートクリニックだったから

They would actually take our baby and take care of him. And so that she can get some sleep

巨大な病院で産むとなると 用意されてるものが少ないから

Yeah, right after giving birth you are

たくさん用意していかないといけないの

Exhausted if you have experience, you probably know your butt hurts your like body hurts and everything hurts and you're sleepy

ここで、スポンサーSquarespaceの宣伝をさせてくれ

Yeah, so it actually helped a lot. So in any hospitals in japan, they're either

オラにとって、ベビーが生まれたり、色んなことが世界で起こっててクレイジーな年なんだ

Focused on like mother's body recovery like my hospital or focus on breastfeeding

Squrespaceのサポートにオラ達家族支えてもらってる

So if your hospital is focused on the breastfeeding they're going to be focusing on like getting your breast milk work

Squarespaceはウェブサイトの制作管理をするのに スッゲー便利なサービスを提供してるんだ

Working or working before your mother's body recovery. So basically it's hard to get asleep

ユニークなテンプレートがたくさんあるから 誰でも簡単にウェブサイトが始められる

That's why I chose the one that's focused on mother's body recovery

しかも、便利なツールのおかげで 簡単に操作できるようになってる

Yeah, but like unfortunately since you know, they don't really teach you much about breastfeeding

例えば、ポートフォリオやギャラリー

Yeah, my breasts wasn't working until like when I was leaving the hospital

これでプロジェクトが全部掲示できる

There are merits and the merits of these ones so pretty much in. Japan

ブログツールもなかなかいいぞ

You get to choose whether you want to focus on breastfeeding and like getting your breasts to work

ストーリーを綴ったり、写真や動画を投稿できる

Right away and like you want to focus on that or if you want to have some time to recover

オラみたいな分析オタクには嬉しい分析機能付き

which is that's pretty nice you get to actually choose and then another thing that just completely

ビジット、ユニークビジター、ページビュー、トレンド などが確認できるぞ

blew me away and

これで、ウェブサイトを常に改良できる

I wish I was actually there because the food looked amazing

squarespace.comにアクセスして まずは無料トライアル

I really wanted you to be there. Yeah, because I wanted to share with you. Yeah

正式に開設する準備が整ったら squarespace.com/paolofromtokyoにアクセス

But I mean, first of all look at some of this food that she got this was right after she gave birth

最初のドメインかウェブサイトが１０％オフになるぞ

This is "Iwaizen" which means like celebration meal. Uh, you get like a really nice meal after the delivery

入院中にありがたいことと言えば

It's like, uh, we did it

母親がうけるクラスがあるんだ

This is what I got. Yeah, I got a steak and some kind of fish meal fried scallop. Wait. No, is that a blueberry?

入院してただ出産するだけじゃなくて

It's a blueberry cheesecake

ベビーのケアの仕方を教えてもらえるんだ

And some kind of soup. Oh and look at that. You even got some wine. Yes

入院期間ってさ

That's like your first wine and you know, what like a year. I wasn't even sure if I was able to drink wine

学ぶ期間でもあるのよ

yeah, I mean I was supposed to be breastfeeding but I guess it's like a little bit like I can drink it in like a

病院は入院する母親のために そう言う準備をしてくれてるの

Second but still they gave you still yes. That was yeah. That was great

他の母親と一緒に受けるクラスがあるんだけど

Like let me know if that happens in your country or in fact

授乳や沐浴の仕方、それに退院してからについて

Let us know that if there's anything that you guys do that's different or that just shocked you as well

同時期に出産した母親と一日のどこかで 集まって、助産婦さんに教わるんだな

何をすべきなのかを教えてもらえる

This is the lunch. I got the next day the second day. I got the chicken steak. Lots of veggies. Oh

I love chicken steaks. It was really good. And then I got fish, you know, like this place is really focused on meal very nutritious

例えば、ウンチの色は？とか

おむつの変え方、爪の切り方

Yeah, but it's nice that you get to you know

母親なら誰でも疑問に思うこと

グループで一緒に質問とかができるようになってる

A lot of Japanese like hospitals. If you don't go to this one. They do also have pretty good food like pretty decent food

で、一緒に学べるんだ

It's not like terrible. I hear some horrible stories from other countries

コロナのせいで、、

But you know in general Japan has pretty good food

私受けられなかったの

I think this place especially was shocking like I mean look at that food. This is the second dinner
