It really was genuinely sweet that Ben thanks her aunt, who cooked delicious meals for the couple, in Korean. Even if he isn't fluent it was touching to see him thank her in her language.
One of the many things I love about my husband! x
Is it her aunt or a hired doula?
@@ajaiakaoaosnaiansjaoanskak i don't think she is a doula necessarily but her role is similar to that of a doula but mainly focusing on postpartum care
@@ajaiakaoaosnaiansjaoanskak I didn't know they had this service available in the US, but in Korea there are post partum clinics that many moms go to for recovery. Traditionally the other female family members pitched in with the food preparation and aftercare for the new mother. I can remember my grandma and aunties coming over all the time with miyukkuk and other korean dishes for my mom after she had my younger siblings. Also language-wise older female figures are often called, "imo/이모" (pronounced ee-mo) which means Auntie. Even if you aren't related. Older ladies in the service industry are also called imo.

I’ve never wanted to eat with someone so much in my life 😭 everything looks great! Postpartum care is huge in so many cultures thank you for sharing thisss
which meal looked best to you? :)
언니~~I love your korean 💕💕💛💜 eemo 맛있어요~~So polite and lovely😆💓 I hope you make a video in korean someday!!
Except American culture lol. Ps I’m American
@@KT-pw1cq Thank you for your support
I love when my favs interact 😍🥰
I loved how Ben ran to get your pillow, now that’s love
Seriouslyyyy! T__T
I was looking for this comment, like he just made himself comfy and all, sat down properly and didnt even take a second to get up, aww thats pure love
I was literally looking for this comment. That was so lovely 🤍
It's the bare minimum....
Don't get me wrong, Ben seems to be great but I find it sad when "loving husband" is celebrated so much as if this shouldn't be the standard :/
@@tondaniraluswinga2590 Thank you
*me typing this as I have tears rolling down my face when you broke down seeing the birthday surprise*
All the meals look so delicious!! Also, Ben killed it with the tea party!! Everything looks amazing.
Omgggg I cried too. It was so so so sweet.
Awww thank you, Weylie! I miss you so much! x
I cried ugly 😂😂
Also cried at this moment! So lovely xx
not me crying as well
Instant tears when you just stood there and broke down after seeing the surprise tea party Ben did for your birthday 🥺😭
Such a beautiful wholesome relationship & now family you’ve built and what an honor to be able to watch this journey of yours unfold. The love radiates through the screen & you deserve every ounce of it.
Awww thanks Sasha! T__T x
shes got a GEM for a husband!
Second that Sasha 💯🤍
@@sosefinat81 🙏
@@Thefitty Thank you
I love how there's a culture of caring for the new mom's health postpartum. There's not enough emphasis on caring for mom in American culture.
Couldn’t agree more. I knew it’d be hard but I was not prepared for how rough postpartum was. At all.
Yes asian culture really care about mom's healthy during postpartum. Mom must eat healthy foods and herbs to regain energy that we lose during birth.
@@CocoCherryZ also in the Hispanic culture we do the same , our mothers take postpartum care super serious and they will care for us for 40 days .
Same with African culture, we take it very seriously
same with indian culture, first 40 days after postpartum are taken very seriously. Hot nutritious meals are made for the mum. Regular warm oil massages and special herb baths are given to mum and the baby
Mum doesn't do any household chores like cooking, cleaning etc.
Honestly it breaks my heart looking at how American policies treat new mothers :(
This is sooo sweet, every mom should have this type of care after giving birth💕
Thank you, Maria! I truly wish every mother could be taken care of like this during the fourth trimester.
Yeah it's super essential for making breast milk too!
I’m not Korean, but I would die to have all this amazing postpartum Korean food 😭
Ben is literally the sweetest person ever. The way he ran when you told him to get you the hemorrhoid pillow, the surprise he made and how he hugged you when you started crying, so wholesome🥺🥺🥺 plus it's so beautiful that he speaks a bit of Korean and thanks your auntie in Korean. It's so sweet when sb learns your language, it's a very important sign of love🥺❤❤
Right 🥺🥺🥺 i hope someone loves me one day the way Ben loves Jen 😩😩💖
Ben is the best 😭 I can't stand how cute you sound when you keeping asking him "You made these!?" lol! Also, Emo through down in the kitchen. My mouth is watering 🤤
You KNOW first hand how delicious those sandwiches are! 😂
'threw down'
Can't believe that you literally just got out the hospital and started filming again, you're such a trooper Jenn! Wishing you all the best for your wee family x
Hahaha! I didn't take much to film especially since I just had to sit and eat it. n_n
@@imjennim haha that's such a virgo thing
Jenn's "You MADE THIS?!?" was so cute 😂
I never knew this is this post baby care called Agamom. I read a bit about it now and it's such a good idea to have someone to make all of your meals for you in the first month. Everything that she made looked so amazing and healthy.
I love how when she said “you made this?!” Each one was a different expression. First was a question, second was disbelief, and last was gratefulness.
@@vermzmcruz5459 Hahaha, so true! The last one was the cutest to me.
I never knew about this until I watched this video as well. Now i’m considering this when I have a baby 🤔
i really love how you educated us on korean postpartum care culture, the food looks so delicious and i'm salivating at 1:14 am, nonetheless i hope you're doing well and better now after a whole month!
Thank you for your support
The mother's body and health is so important after labor. In my Hmong culture, we have a 30 day- strict boiled chicken and herbs dish to eat. It helps cleanse our body. We focus on just the baby and ourselves. The mother doesn't do any hard labor such as cooking, cleaning as she needs to focus on her health and mental cause it's so important.
Congratulations Jenn!
Ben’s surprises always make Jenn cry of happiness. The most precious couple!!!
I LOVE how you express your gratitude and continuously compliment the 이모님 about her cooking. It's so beautiful to see you praising her and thanking her for the hard work. I was gently reminded today by you that I need to express more gratitude and praise others more. Thank you for this heartwarming video and congratulations again, Jenn!
Same here. My MIL is korean and I should be more thankful for everything she does. ♥️
Hi Jenn, this is I’MIN
Thank you soooooo much for using my music as your intro i’m in tears rn because i’ve seen your videos since like 3 years ago already!
Its such a pleasant surprise to hear my music on your channel and can’t explain how much this means to me!
Thank you again and hope my music fits for your future videos!!!!
Much love,
I’MIN
Ahh! Oh my gosh! When I heard your song, I instantly wanted to use it for a video. You're beyond talented!
@@imjennim Thanks so much it’s truly an honor to be able to share my music with you and your viewers! Hope the best and sending all my love for you and your fam 😌
Ben surprising you with an afternoon tea party was very sweet BUT his reaction to you asking for your pillow was what almost brought me to tears! He was so ready to take care of you there that i found it adorable
Omg same! So sweet 😭💖
I love seeing this type of care being presented I think often in America it’s like “okay well mom is home alone with baby now we go back to work” but taking time to care and nurture a new mom especially when needed is so vital. I have seen many maybe not visit the baby but drop off homade food and small baby gifts and stuff to new moms along with things like “if you need help when you are ready let us know !” And it’s heartwarming
I absolutely adore the korean meal "structure" with all the various side dishes (반찬), it makes more sense to me eventhough its not the way is done in my culture. Also, it was lovely to hear you speaking korean.
This video makes me so emotional I had to comment. It is so incredibly beautiful to see how Korean culture takes care of postpartum mother’s. I remember my postpartum and I barely ate or drank anything, stopped taking my vitamins, adversely effected my recovery and breastfeeding my baby. I felt so depressed. So incredibly important to help mama look after herself so she can look after baby. It may be unusual to say about a food video but seeing a mama being cherished and taken care of postpartum is a beautiful special thing! 💖
It's always so heartwarming to see how supportive and caring Ben and Jenn are of each other. 💓
I love how fast Ben sprung up when you ask for your pillow 🥰 so sweet
ahahahah ben's bday surprise has jenn feeling 10,000 feelings
"you made these?" *overwhelming gratitude/감동"
*pauses*
"You MADE THESE?!" *beyond impressed*
THEY WERE SOOO GOOD!
The quality of your content has improved a gizillion times since you have started introducing your Korean culture in it. Good going jen
Ben looks like he's really enjoying the dad life! Much love to you and your beautiful family 💓
He's lovinggg dad life!
you’re so filled with gratitude and sweetness, can’t stop watching
You have such amazing people around you Jen, and I think it says a lot about your character. Sending my love, always.
agamom warmed my heart the entire video! she's so precious jenn! i'm so glad that you are recovering great during postpartum even though i know postpartum is very hard (i'm also a new momma! ) enjoy this time with your bundle of joy and cherish all the small things and milestones because they grow up so quickly! Time flies by! Lennon is so beautiful, cheers to you and your little family!
i teared up watching agamom. she reminds me so much of my grandma 😭😭😭
Jenn, you are literally just so cute when you cry 😂 Happy to see you thriving postpartum! Love from South Korea xo 😘
aww I got teary-eyed when Jenn started sobbing. This vid is so comforting knowing Jenn & Ben are eating all these nourishing food. Y'all deserve it after a rough 9 months, and to prep you for more!
Miyukguk has always been such a comfort dish of mine. I never knew it was an important postpartum dish! My eomma always makes it for me when I visit. Seeing Korean foods on your channel is always so comforting and beautiful because it’s such an important part of our culture/expressing love and care. Wishing you and your beautiful family peace, love, and health❤️
I love how Jenn is always challenging herself and making an effort to speak more Korean at home. Definitely have a lot to learn from you, a good reminder to work on my Chinese as well 🙏
Every mom deserves to have a postpartum care. Often times mom gets neglected because all attention is focused on the newborn.
중학생 때부터 직장인이 된 지금까지 Jenn 유튜브를 계속해서 보고 있는 한국인 구독자예요!
한국의 산후조리 문화와 맛있는 한국음식에 대한 영상을 올려주어서 너무 기쁘고, Jenn에게 고마운 마음입니다💘 (특히 Vegan에게 사랑받을 수 있는 음식이 한국에 많은데 더 많은 사람들이 이번 영상으로 알 수 있으면 좋겠네요)
영상에 담기지 않은 힘든 일, 슬픈 일도 있겠지만...지금 우리가 보는 Jenn은 너무나 행복한 사람인 것 같아 저도 덩달아 행복해지네요. 산후조리 잘 하고 즐거운 일만 가득하길 바랄게요! 도희언니 항상 응원하고 생일 축하해요🤍🖤
Tell me why I started crying when Jenn saw the birthday surprise
who else bawled their eyes out once jenn started crying from the surprise
이모 진짜 솜씨가 좋으시고 센스있으시네요 👍 전형적인 엄마솜씨가 아니라 퓨전스타일 😆 이모님이 삶의 질을 높여주네요 💜 Happy birthday 🎂
Ben is just the loveliest! And he raises my standard for what I want in a relationship so much. I’m so happy for you guys and hope your recovery will continue on being as pleasant as it can be❤️
Omg this unreal 😍😍😍 I swear I ate frozen Bolognese and shepherds pie for months after birth, it was so dull 😂 It all looks delicious. Hope you’re doing well xx
Didnt anyone helped to cook for you??
I think this is just part of asian culture, not only we need to eat all the herbs and healthy foods, we need also to massage our body, bathing and put many kind of herbs to our body. Wearing some sort of "corset" to get back in shape..nowadays, many people hire "confinement lady" to help mom n baby to take care all of these things.
@@nurulaziz4832 Also in the Hispanic culture, after giving birth they call it a quarantine because for 40 days we have to take really good care of our body, and our moms or whoever looks out for you cooks you healthy warm meals and meals that will increase your milk supply and they wrap your tummy everyday to make sure you are compressing your stomach muscles, etc
@@evelyn1558 not everyone has that luxury or family or time.
In Nigeria and I think most African cultures, the grandma takes care of the new born for several weeks. If the grandma isn’t available aunties or family friends will do it. The grandma will also cook for the mom and the family. Basically taking the stress away from the mother until she’s fully recovered.
Such a wonderful and supportive post partum story. I still remember the most thoughtful gifts were friends bringing food that I would live off of for a few days because I was too exhausted to do anything else, but feed and care for the baby. It takes a village!
I love love Ben speaking as much Korean as he can! Such a great sign of respect
Ben walking in with baby strapped to him made me giggle so much! He’s so happy to be hands free
I was wondering if you were eating lots of miyukguk after your pregnancy : D
I've always loved seeing your relationship with food for enjoyment and healing. I'm glad Agamom was there to take care of you and Ben!
I ate miyukguk every day for an entire month! Still didn't get sick of it. Heheh.
Not me immediately bursting into tears when Jenn started crying for her birthday. So much love here! 💜💜
I’m 17 weeks along & my Korean coworker-friends keep telling me their postpartum stories 😆 Definitely involves a lot of seaweed soup & resting!
Nigerians have a similar thing. It’s called Omugwo. The mother or mother in law (sometimes any elderly woman) comes and helps the new mother as well as the baby.
This makes me so happy. Every women deserves this treatment postpartum ❤️ I bet she felt so loved and nourished!
By no means do I speak Korean. But Ben’s “맛있다 이모” “thank you auntie “ in his accent 🥺🥺🥺 귀엽다 how cute.
God knows how long I've missed Jenn's what I eat videos...great to see you growing and glowing Jenn 😍💙 The meals look great
I rarely leave comments on TH-cam but I’m a long time follower and just want to say I love seeing you at this stage of your life! I’m a year older than you but I had my daughter at 19 (wouldn’t change it for the world!). She’s 13 now and we watch a lot of your food videos together. When Ben surprised you with the tea party she started tearing up! She jumped up to grab a blanket and yelled, “you better pause it, I don’t want to miss anymore of her happiness!”
We know you are and will continue to be a wonderful mom! Congratulations!
Okay your husband is pure gold! He is so thoughtful and kind to you. It made my heart warm to see how genuine he was with your birthday and making it so special. :)
I am not korean or any where near pregnant but being an Asian, these post partum meals look absolutely delicious, comforting and familiar. Been a fan of you since i am in college and now i am 27, it feels like we are "growing up" together. I always like listening to your voice. The way you speak is so soothing and you do everything with grace. Congratulations on being a mother. You are amazing, Jenn.
Not me crying when Jenn cried 😩😭 And her incredulity that Ben made the sandwiches -- I 100% thought they were store bought too! So pretty and uniform!
Ben and Jenn's love is too precious for this world 🥰
티 파티 보고 눈물 터트리는데 나도 같이 눈물😭 한국 산후조리가 최고에여 징짜루,,, 젠 언니 다시 한번 넘 축하해요 ❤️
Every girl deserves their own version of Ben. You really won in that department.
Hope you continue documenting your food, it feels so soothing and nourishing to watch!
I teared up when Jenn cried as she saw the surprise. You guys are perfect for each other and will be fantastic parents to your son 🥺😭
Omg I literally broke down when Jenn cried 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ such a precious moment
이모’s dishes giving me ideas of what I could eat for dinner😂😂
also such a blessing not only spending you’re birthday with your family but a newborn baby. My husband & I look forward now more than ever to not only holidays but birthdays🧡
There’s also similar post-partum care in Malaysia where the mother, mother-in-law or grandmother prep the food, apply concoction of medicinal herbs on the body or massages…there’s a paid service too like what Jenn is using. It allows the mother to recover and by having good food,massages, the mother feel taken care of and decreases the chance of having post-partum depression.
As a fellow malaysian I thought of the exact thing! Every culture from Malay to Chinese to Indian households have this same practice and it warms my heart to know that many different cultures place importance for the momma to be healthy and taken care of, aside from just care for the little one.
I grew up with one of my childhood best friends being Korean & fell in love with the food & culture. Her & I have drifted away but growing up in my teens & 20’s watching your journey, it helps remind me of my love for Korean food & I try to incorporate it into my life as often as possible! I would love to practice this postpartum care into my future pregnancy, and veganize a lot of Korean dishes you’ve eaten! This is beautiful 💖
Love how he did the tea party and there are Korean meals, so many cultures all in one. ❤️
Jen in disbelief “you made these?” “YOU made these??” “You MADE THESE????” 😂❤️❤️
Literally instant tears when you come down and saw Ben’s surprise 🥺 So sweet! All of the meals looked so delicious 🤤
Everything about you and your videos is beautiful. The way you care about everyone around you, the way you talk to everyone, the effort you put into your videos, the authenticity you do effortlessly show everyone, the relationship you have with Ben. You are sooo beautiful inside Out. Bless you and your family. Hope you’re happy and healthy and so is your baby and Ben. Love your videos. I have been a subscriber since the beginning. And seeing you grow over the years alongside me has been a very supportive journey. Love you
Ben, how do you manage to plan these surprises for Jenn while she's in the house?! Love y'all so much
That was so wonderful to see. I never knew how much love and care goes into the mother for her postpartum. I myself have had 4 children and know first hand how difficult that time can be. You are very blessed
There's something so *healing* about Korean food ♡ you can see how much love went into the food!
When Jenn starts to cry, my heart 🥹 You are the sweetest, kindest person ever ❤️ You and your husband are amazing. I wish there were more people like you in the world.
we do such a disservice to mothers in this country. so glad that you were able to receive the care you needed postpartum.
What a lucky lady, I wish every new mama can get look altered this well. I live in the uk and the first months of postnatal is also very important for my Chinese culture. However, all my families are still in China. My British mother-in-law who came to our house to “help” after I gave birth to my son. All she did was watching TV, listening to music, chatting to my husband who supposed to help me looking after baby. Well, she made me 2 cups of tea and 1 meal in a whole day. And telling me to not eat too much when I was making myself some toast, so I don’t “spoil the dinner” (the only meal she made for the whole day)…. I happily said goodbye to her few days later when she finally left. I’m so glad you’ve been looked after so well. Xx
Love learning more about Korean culture and food through your videos! You and Ben radiate love & positivtiy ❤️
The moment jen cried. Its game over for me. I cried too. Happy belated birthday jenn ❤️
this is so wholesome!! I heard about this postpartum care tradition from a friend and a lot of other asian cultures have this as well! I'm just so happy y'all are all happy and healthy
You’re so blessed you are able to hire someone to cook for you during recovery. Not so many ppl have blessing like you.
8:30 Your reaction hit me like a truck. I feel so happy and grateful for you. ❤️🥺😭
Every single one of your videos this past month or so have made me just start balling
Love this. Taking care of each other in practical, healthy ways means so much when you're tired and recovering. Warmed my ♥.
Your Agamom seems so sweet and hardworking 😭 I don’t know why i just want to hug her
All the food looks sooo good, bless emo 🙌🏼 when Ben surprised you, your reaction was so wholesome 😭💕
I wish all mothers were valued. You’re so very lucky to have an extra hand like that. Wishing you a speedy recovery❤️
I've never been SO jealous in my entire life. Those meals looked absolutely amazing! It reminds me just how important homecooked meals are! Also, congratulations to your family, your baby is beautiful!
Same!! I wanted everything!
after watching you for 8 years this is beautiful to watch Jen. Congratulations
Ben’s IMMEDIATE reaction to “would you mind getting me the pillow” 😭 that’s so sweet ❤️😭😭😭
I can’t believe even after JUST having a baby you are still creating and giving us such lovely, aesthetically beautiful content!! I LOVED this! Postpartum care is also a big thing in many African cultures, my mum and mother-in-law literally took care of my husband and I post baby and I couldn’t be more grateful. I watched this with my MIL and just loved seeing the similarities and differences.. thanks for sharing 🤎❤️
This video was absolutely incredible. Thank you for educating me on Korean Postpartum culture. I wish every culture did this for moms. Ben is such a sweet and thoughtful husband. Your birthday surprise made me cry. So happy for you guys and your beautiful life. Mahalo for sharing ❤️
Im cryingggggg you two are soooo sweet. I love seeing the joy and peace your family has
Jenn is the only person who I've found that, like me, cannot help but making pleasure sounds when eating something haha
your husband, mom and aunty and everyone in the video who took care of you, touches my heart! such a good video
love how she is so happy when bringing you the meal. We have the same thing in Kenya(Africa)-where there are foods to eat... Good to see yall looking great.
Her crying in the middle of the room, that is super cute!! Both of you guys are ADORABLE
So happy seeing Jenn eating well post-partum 😄 Hope you have a good rest at home and a smooth recovery!
This has to be one of my top favorite videos only because Jenn cries like a baby and Ben gave her the most thoughtful birthday surprise. Ben is truly a kind husband OMG :’)
"you made these? ... you MADE these?!??"
you and Ben make me melt 😭😭😭 it's so wonderful to see you've been surrounded by so much love as you recover. we all couldn't have wished for more for you. you deserve the world, Jenn! 🤍
I’m Korean American and my mom spent a whole month caring and cooking meals for me postpartum (with my hubby supporting of course) but she insisted she do it. It was such a special experience for us, but it was definitely exhausting for her. But she insisted that she do it even when I told her that it’s okay. I’m forever grateful for her. ❤️ I’m so glad you had auntie to take care of you, I hope I can have the same resource for when we have our second so my mom can get a break then.
Ben's tea party for Jenn's bday 🥺😭
"You made this? Aww!"
*takes a bite*
"You MADE THIS!?"
🤣
Haha when Jenn starts crying when she sees Ben’s birthday tea party for her, literally so cute!!!! postpartum hormones raging in the most endearing way. 😭😭😭💖
I don't know why but I full on cried when Jenn cried when she saw Ben's birthday surprise.
