Alice's birth story at Tokyo Iryo Center, Meguro, Tokyo

Published: Aug. 15, 2021, midnight

I had the chance to interview Alice, who is a translator (English/Japanese). For a limited time (until 31st December 2021) she offers her translation service for pregnant foreign women in Japan who need help to communicate with their Japanese doctors. She also offers to exchange with other women about the IVF (In Vitro Feritilisaton) process in Japan.

Alice is originally from Australia. She gave birth to her daughter Melody last fall at the Tokyo Iryo Center in Tokyo. Alice shares with us her birth story and also how she advocated for herself at the hospital, emphasizing what was important for her and how she handled Japanese authoritarian doctors.

Enjoy!
