This year again, we will hold the "Childbirth and Postpartum Workshop" for pregnant foreign women 🙌!

Childbirth and becoming a parent, one of life’s major events.
For pregnant women and their partners who are about to give birth in an unfamiliar foreign country, it must be full of anxiety.
For foreign pregnant women planning to give birth in Japan and their partners, we will hold a workshop in English on the theme of childbirth circumstances in Japan!
The instructor is Yukari Igarashi from St. Luke’s International University, who specializes in multicultural nursing. The expert will provide detailed and enjoyable explanations 😊

✔ Childbirth circumstances in Japanese hospitals
✔ Communication with the hospital
✔ The childbirth process
✔ Physical changes in women after childbirth
✔ How to Care for Your Baby
✔ How Partners Can Provide Support

The content includes practical exercises and more.

You can freely ask any questions or concerns you may have.

And starting this year, it will be held free of charge 😊

If you have concerns about giving birth or life with your baby after birth in Japan, please join us.
We will thoroughly convey information so that everyone can face childbirth and postpartum life with a little more peace of mind!
Not only pregnant women but also their partners are very welcome to join.✨
