Are you looking for a place for your prenatal check-up? Do you know that there are obstetrics and gynecology clinics in Japan, particularly in Tokyo with English support, especially for non-Japanese who do not know how to speak Japanese fluently?
I understand that it is stressful to go to the clinic or hospital for a check-up and then you don’t understand what the doctors are saying. It’s very important that we understand what they’re saying. Here in Japan, some terms are only used in clinics or hospitals that you don’t usually hear in normal conversations; that’s why it’s sometimes confusing.
If you prefer to come to a hospital, there are some hospitals with English support services while others have interpreters for non-speaking Japanese patients.
I would like to share some obstetrics and gynecology clinics/hospitals in Tokyo with English support in this article.

Greetings to all mommies I am a supermom from Philippines. Previously, I worked and lived in Dubai for seven years, until 2015 the year I moved in Japan. Currently, I am happily settled here with my Japanese husband and our 7 months old baby. I could only describe my almost 6 years of living here as a roller coaster ride more so, after I gave birth to my son. Japan had changed me in ways unimaginable. It has influence my lifestyle, my perceptions and beliefs. I was able to witness firsthand the pros and cons of living in the country. From their language, culture and ethnicity, the people, place and in work. Those years were enough to give me quite personal and memorable experiences which I would be more than delighted to share with you.
