Pregnancy Care for Foreigners in Seoul, Korea
Start with confirmation and early checks at Dami: ultrasound, dating and the early pregnancy blood panel. Then choose where to give birth, usually a women's hospital or a general hospital with obstetrics, and transfer your care there for regular prenatal visits. Dami provides your early records in English.
Step 1: Confirm
Pregnancy test and ultrasound at about 5–6 weeks.
Step 2: Early checks
Early pregnancy checkup(PA or PB).
Step 3: Choose a delivery hospital
Consider English support, distance, NICU availability, room options and cost. Many expats also look into postpartum care centers (산후조리원), a Korean tradition worth booking early.
Step 4: Government support
Eligible NHIS members can receive pregnancy and childbirth medical expense support; check eligibility with NHIS.
Step 5: Transfer records
Ask for an English summary; see English documents.
