頻度を表す副詞

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

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

この話をするために、スペシャルゲストを 迎えねぇとな

ウルフィー、「こんにちは」は？

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

ユーチューブチャンネルをのぞいてみてくれ

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

だから、女性達に体験した方がいいと思ってる

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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？

妊娠ってわかって本当すぐだったよな

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

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

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

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

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

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

日本の場合、平均５０万から１００万+

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

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

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

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

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?

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
