Congratulations on your new baby.
The beginning of a new life is a priceless thing.
Pregnancy, delivery, and nursing while overseas may pose many difficulties.
But you are not alone. Your family, friends, and those who have gone through the same experience before are with you.
Please gather information and make good use of the administrative services and support available from citizen groups.
Whether a time of hardship or a time of joy, all will become precious memories.
Without pushing yourself too hard or becoming too anxious, please enjoy your time of childbirth and childrearing.
