Next TPG Meeting
January 14 - 11am
Topic: Maternity/Baby Photography
Speaker: Emma Sato, Gom Photography
Location: Sakurashinmachi
TPG Presentation
Our group gives pregnant women a chance to meet other expecting mothers and discuss various issues related to pregnancy and delivery in Japan - choosing a caregiver and hospital, breastfeeding, antenatal exercises, etc.
Meetings
A speaker is present at every meeting to discuss issues relevant to you - e.g. childbirth educators, midwives, obstetricians or even new Moms.
Talks are very informal and afterwards we chat and munch!
Each person brings a healthy snack or drink to share with the group. For example, fruit, vegetables and dip, or your favorite baked goods.
We meet every other Thursday from 11am.
The meetings usually last about 2 hours and are held in various group members' homes (TPG members host on a volunteer basis - this is not required of all members, only those who would like to).
Meetings are held in English.
This is an excellent opportunity to meet other expectant mothers and make new friends.
Membership
Membership is free and open to all pregnant women. We are always looking for new members to join and share their experiences of pregnancy.
