Having a child is a very happy thing for some young couples because they can totally change from a romantic two-person world to a warm and happy three-person family, but for those who live abroad, there are a lot of problems to be faced in having a child. So, what do foreigners need to prepare for having a baby in Japan? What should I pay attention to?
Most of the births in Japan are normal births. In Japan, doctors don't let expectant mothers choose their own mode of delivery, but give them advice from a medical professional point of view, and most women give birth to their babies through normal labor, and only choose a C-section if they encounter difficulties, so natural childbirth is super popular. If you want to have a baby in Japan, make sure you don't add too much of your own advice because the doctor will take your situation into account.
How much does it cost to have a baby in Japan a ****? It is still expensive to have a baby in Japan, and if you are in a private hospital in a single room, it is much more expensive than in a normal room in a university hospital. This is one of the reasons why so many young couples in Japan are reluctant to have children.
The price will depend on the hospital. Because hospitals are different and have different facilities, the cost of having a baby will vary, but normally, a 7-day stay in a regular hospital will cost about 20,000 yen, and that's if you choose to have a cesarean section. If it is a private hospital then a c-section will cost around 25,000 bucks or so.
The price is equivalent to a month's salary for the Japanese public. While this may sound expensive, Japanese people have high incomes, and this price is equivalent to the monthly salary of a working person in the Tokyo area. If you are talking about a normal birth, the cost will be relatively low, and the state will subsidize it.
