We will be holding the popular "Childbirth and Postpartum" workshop for foreign pregnant women again this year, following its successful launch last December!
One of life's events is "childbirth" and "becoming a parent." For expectant mothers and their partners who are about to give birth abroad, navigating unfamiliar languages and cultures can be filled with anxiety. Therefore, we are hosting a workshop for foreign expectant mothers and their partners who are preparing to give birth in Japan!
We have invited Professor Igarashi from St. Luke’s International University, who specializes in multicultural nursing, as the lecturer. The lecture will be given in English on the topics of "childbirth and postpartum" and childbirth circumstances in Japan. The content includes practical information such as the childbirth process, communication with hospitals, physical changes in women after childbirth, life with the baby, and how partners can support women. Participants are also encouraged to freely ask any questions or express concerns they may have.
If you have concerns about childbirth, postpartum life, or living with your baby, we invite you to join us. Partners are also very welcome, not just expectant mothers!
