I&#8217;m Miyuki Brown, Japanese midwife and proud mum of two.<br>I am setting up my new company <strong>Your Midwife<\/strong> offering a very personal service to mothers to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-96980a3f-7463-4dbb-b6ca-630afc02313e\">As a midwife, I have over 13 years\u2019 experience gained at general hospitals in Osaka and Tokyo. During this time, I attended more than 1,000 deliveries and provided advice and support to over 2,000 women.<br>\ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"block-c4ba77cc-b438-43ac-a071-f40d7e709ccc\"><strong>Preparation is key<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-eee69bcc-63ab-4cd4-9fd9-aa931306a29f\">My work at the frontline of midwifery has taught me how important it is for expectant mothers to prepare well for the birth of their baby and the post-natal phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-3a5c8424-04ec-4f65-ac12-fa35fe88f2b8\">This could include anything from making positive changes to their home environment, to planning activities to support their emotional and physical needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c04b4ccd-0b6b-42d9-8a2f-f7b847409a61\">In my role as a midwife, I enjoy helping new mums take these first steps with confidence.<br>\ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"block-2afa65da-b06d-452b-90e5-115159533eab\"><strong>Support for non-Japanese mothers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d3567c03-3df1-4059-a6d0-f311fe2412ab\">Motherhood can be challenging, especially if you\u2019re a foreign national planning to give birth to your baby in Japan. Pre and post-natal procedures might be different to back home and there may be cultural differences in addition to language barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-1d0e2b77-0365-4cde-8da2-2797ee6e29fc\">Mothers-to-be have also found that there is a shortage of information available in English for non-Japanese people who are planning to have babies in Japan. Fortunately that is where <strong>Your Midwife<\/strong> can help you.<br>\ufeff<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"block-600609e3-635a-4897-b64d-969e6b1ea0fa\"><strong>Overcoming the challenges together<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-7e5211f8-9a12-4241-8175-5d39b7692310\">As well as having a wealth of experience as a midwife and mother myself, I am also familiar with intercultural issues relating to Japan, as my husband is from the UK and I frequently travel abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-9345875c-adbb-4f0d-90d1-a2afcc9ef7b0\">I enjoy using this additional knowledge and experience to manage and reduce these worries for non-Japanese women.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\" id=\"block-55582e0c-fb04-47ae-b214-ba169975b6dc\"><strong>Creating happy memories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-4b666ab3-004e-48e8-be6d-f62886ca91b0\">One of the things that I love about being a midwife, is helping women to overcome anxiety so that they can look forward to childbirth and await their delivery with confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e31a6b0b-a854-4bf3-b85e-2a80618362ad\">Imagine yourself having a great, safe, satisfying childbirth!
