“I throw away old food in the refrigerator and prepare three or four side dishes as food that my family eats well. If you have a few ready-to-eat foods such as instant curry, jam, and soup, your husband can use it conveniently.”

The’Seoul Pregnancy and Childbirth Information Center (Center)’ said, “Must know!” This is the content that women at the 35th week of pregnancy should check before giving birth. The’information’ posted on the center’s website on the 5th is being known through online late, and is being criticized.
This site started with the saying that the Seoul Metropolitan Government will provide information on pregnancy and childbirth scattered on the web and mobile in 2019 and even handle civil complaints. As intended, the website introduces information on maternal and child health services and infertility, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare in Seoul. There are not a few contents that are actually helpful, such as guidance on medical institutions and postpartum helpers, as well as guidance on nursing facilities.

However, some content became a problem, and the purpose of opening the site was blurred. The above mentioned is representative.
The request to prepare meals for husband and child appears in the 35th week of’Information by Pregnancy Cycle’. In addition, the site advises full-term pregnant women to check their daily necessities and store clothes. “Check the remaining amount of toilet paper, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, detergent, etc. so that the remaining family members are not uncomfortable”, “Underwear, socks, and shirts for husband and children to change according to the hospitalization date of about 3 or 7 days. , Handkerchief, outerwear, etc., and arrange them well in the drawer,” he explained in detail, “What to do”. “Before hospitalization, you should also pay attention to consideration for your family,” he said.
This content brought strong backlash from women. In particular, as the website was shared on Twitter, “Isn’t my husband supposed to help my full-term wife prepare for childbirth?”, “It’s hard to breathe, but you have to prepare side dishes and change clothes and go to have a baby?” “Do you eat?” is inundated with criticism. Responses such as “I promise to be nonmarried once again”, “Who would want to have children,” and “Seoul City’s policy to encourage nonmarriage” are also continuing.

In addition to this, he told the pregnant woman at the 19th week of pregnancy to mop for stretching, saying, “Do not postpone the housework, and if you do at that time, it will help you manage your weight without extra exercise.” It is pointed out that the suggestion of “Hang your clothes in a visible place so that food is stimulated when you want to eat it” is also inappropriate.
