Postpartum Mind and Body - Let Us Proudly Get Support! - 

Click here for English

After the Delivery, Moms Are Much, Much More Tired Than You Think.

Huge change in hormone balance can cause postpartum crisis in both

mind and body - postpartum depression is known as one of these symptoms.

Let us get support from the family and friends, and take a good rest.

New moms may want to get up and be the BEST MOM, however,

close your eyes to take a rest while your baby sleeps.

This is one of the very important missions of moms in this stage of motherhood.

And - you will not have chance to take this good rest soon after your baby is bigger.
Have some while you can!

If your families live afar, it is natural that you feel even more worried.

You can get supports from your local government, hospital, and

private services.

It is not embarassing or something weak to ask for help.

Let us proudly have supports !

Some of the Supports You May Want to Use:

• Postnatal daycare facilities 
  Nurses and midwives stay with moms and help take care of the baby.
• Postnatal subsidies
  Local government provides subsidies for moms to use postnatal services. 
  You can find an example of Kamakura City here.
• Family Support Center
  Local government runs a network of caregivers.  Ask for details at your local government.
• Doola

You are not alone.  We are with you.
