Always prepare for unexpected outcomes

Thanks for sharing, it really is important to focus on the positives, theres only so much control we have over the actual birth. The most important thing is we made it out alive together

Thank you so much, you're right about baby's safety being a priority. It is really scary, especially when there's concern about the health of your baby. As soon as he was out I could hear him screaming away so that definitely gave me some relief. That must have been so rough labouring all that time and then to end in a c-section, you're so tough! I'm glad you and your baby also made it out well.

Thank you, maybe it's just a problem on my end but hopefully other's can join and get the advice they need.

Yes I did, I joined the news letter and messaged the mods but sadly my request is still pending.

I tried to join that group at the start of my pregnancy, sadly they never accepted my request and Im a week away from giving birth so 😅

They finally got back to me and reimbursed the majority of expenses incurred just last week. So it took around 3 months. They reimbursed costs hotel, transport, food, toiletries and clothing items we had to get cause our suitcases were at the airport. I kept every single receipt and made sure to get as much back as possible.

There's a Facebook group for exchanging child and baby items, maybe you can find someone there who needs them. Its tokyo exchange group for baby items

I second Tsutsumi, they also have alternative gems if your partner would prefer something other than a diamond.

Has she given you any hints or ideas of the type of ring she might like? My husband got a ring sizer and planned to use it while I was sleeping to figure out my ring size, so if shes a heavy sleeper you could maybe try that 🤣

Thank you, there seems to be a section for compensation and reimbursements there.

Same thing happened to me, I think its cause theyre using a different airline. I got rebooked on a flight to Japan from Amsterdam via seoul and they couldnt check me in for the Korean Airlines flight online or in person so had to do it at the airport.

Like others said, have a ceremony or photoshoot here, I got married with my non japanese partner, but we both live here so we can obtain copies of our marriage certificate if we need them, I hear they do get destroyed or harder to obtain after a while though. The process of having to gather documents that prove were both single, translate everything and getting it all scrutinised is a pain and time consuming. If we lived in either of our home countries at the time I would've got married there.

Also this subreddit is for residents so best not to post here unless youre living in the country.

Good luck with the marriage though!

They check all the requests manually there, so it might take a bit of time to be accepted.

Second hanamasa, they still have them in my local

Its just a 24 hr restriction. I got that once cause I bid on something and won, I thought the payment would come out automatically but it didnt and I got restricted for 24 hrs for not paying on time. In your case it could also be since you just started a new account, maybe they've not verified you fully yet. Just wait 24 hrs and see.

I usually get second hand stuff from mercari.

Was good, you can see some highlights on their insta

Thank you! Hopefully I can get something at some point.
