  • Summary

  • On this episode we speak to Eriko Lalanne a Japanese midwife based in Tokyo (e_tokyomidwife & josanshi_english). I've taken some of our followers most asked questions and thrown them her way: • Where can we give birth in Japan? • How can we say no? • Why are epidurals so expensive? • What happens if I don’t want to weigh myself at every appointment? …The list goes on! We discuss the standards of Japanese care, cultural differences and some possible fixes to our communication issues when we're going to check ups or are in labour. ------------------------------------------------- Show notes: ⁠Japan Midwives Association⁠ Tokyo, Japan, midwife, japanese, birth facilities, FAQ, interventions, refusing, care in Japan, epidurals, episiotomy, cultural differences, birth in Japan, painless birth, natural birth, weight gain, appointment schedule, filing a complaint. ------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS 00:00 - Opening 01:59 - Pregnancy update 05:41 - Intro 11:09 - Who do I ask? 12:37 - Where to give birth in Japan 14:52 - Saying no to a test/check up 20:21 - Differences between Japan and elsewhere 21:38 - Epidurals 22:42 - What is the 'norm' in Japan, painless or natural? 23:45 - Appointment schedule 25:34 - Refusing things during labour 27:52 - Filing a complaint 29:57 - Topic of weight gain 33:33 - Cutoff for choosing your birth facility 35:18 - Outro
