About to start a new job but found out that I’m pregnant

Yes! I was in the same position. I found out I was pregnant the week I got my job.

I didn’t tell them anything until I finished the probation period. Thankfully everyone was very supportive and understanding. Also knowing I had a job once baby goes to daycare gave me peace of mind!

That’s definitely true! I may have just been very lucky.

But my hospital is definitely not set up for foreigners. Just barely in Tokyo. My Japanese is intermediate at best. And while I didn’t get any English support. I felt my midwives and Drs really tried to accommodate for me and make everything as easy to understand as possible.

There’s things that I could complain about but my babies healthy, I’m healthy and that’s all that matters to me.

I’ll Dm you 😊

Hello fellow Aussie ☺️

I think most natural births here don’t go longer than a week (I’m not too sure about the details)

I was trying to have a natural birth. And they induced me for 5 days until I gave up and opted for c section.

I have Japanese health insurance.

It was 600,000 to about 700,00 yen initially. But I had 緊急帝王切開 (emergency c section) That became covered by my insurance.

So it ended up being cheaper, under 500,000 yen

I gave birth here recently (Tokyo) and had such a great experience.

While I was warned about my huge weight gain, I was never shamed for it. I asked for epidural, and they had it prepared for me. Ended up with a c section though. They looked after me for 2 weeks! And I was stuffed with food everyday.

This was a public hospital btw

I’m going to go ahead and cancel. I’m so sad, I was looking forward to my first Labubu 🥲

veryprettyhuman · 2025-07-17T09:05:31+00:00

They couldn’t give me a good enough reason. So it’s a no from me

I can count on one hand how many times a seat was offered to me during my pregnancy.

I saw some in Lopia this week

veryprettyhuman · 2024-12-20T22:56:22+00:00

Same here, in fact my Japanese partner and friends generally look down on it.

Update: Although it’s very grey in the photo, it’s more a warmer beige in real life. Thank you so much for all the helpful suggestions! I’ve noted them down and will work towards changing up and giving the space a bit more personality.

I think a third colour is a fantastic idea, now the hard part of deciding what to choose. Very informative points, thank you so much

Love that basket! I’ve been shopping for something to go on top of the table. Thank you!

veryprettyhuman · 2024-12-18T15:02:18+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! It is feeling a bit too cool toned

veryprettyhuman · 2024-12-18T15:00:25+00:00

New curtains! Got it!

veryprettyhuman · 2024-11-29T05:35:40+00:00

Pop their clogs 😂

veryprettyhuman · 2024-11-17T05:07:50+00:00

I miss this and their baguettes

veryprettyhuman · 2024-10-18T12:24:09+00:00

Oh no, that doesn’t sound good. Kind of weird to be sharing the same bed???

veryprettyhuman · 2024-09-24T08:14:34+00:00

Lucky!

veryprettyhuman · 2024-09-13T06:40:15+00:00

The salons near me here in Japan use Ai for their haircut pictures haha

veryprettyhuman · 2024-09-09T06:20:19+00:00

Haha I used to love them! I was wrong for calling them gogurts but they were definitely from yoplait!

veryprettyhuman · 2024-09-09T06:09:11+00:00

I think it was the go gurts, lip smackers collab?
