[Closed] Ask the Experts! 12/16 Workshop on "Childbirth and Postpartum" for Foreign Pregnant Women (English)

If you are feeling anxious about giving birth in Japan without understanding the culture or language, why not join the workshop for foreign pregnant women (in English) held at St. Luke’s International University?

This event is a great opportunity for expectant foreign mothers to obtain various information about giving birth with peace of mind. We will clearly explain the birthing process, how to contact hospitals, changes in the body after childbirth, life with a baby, and partner support, and we will answer any questions you may have.

Feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
