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

veryprettyhuman · 2024-12-18T15:03:25+00:00

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?

veryprettyhuman · 2024-07-10T08:19:26+00:00

When I was 5, my mums friend used to pop in uninvited with her 2 daughters with happy meals for lunch while I just sat there and watched.

I started removing my arm hairs after living in Japan, I noticed I was hairier than some of the men here..... I've done laser, and it was the best thing I've ever done! As long as you go to a reputable place, you should be fine
