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 are pleased to invite Professor Igarashi from St. Luke’s International University, who specializes in multicultural nursing, to give a lecture in English on the topic of "Childbirth and Postpartum" and the childbirth situation in Japan. The lecture will cover the childbirth process, communication with hospitals, changes in a woman's body after giving birth, life with a baby, and how partners can support women, incorporating practical insights. Feel free to ask any questions or express any concerns you 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!
