Part 2: A new mother's monologue about raising children in Hong Kong

"My Hong Kong Pregnancy Story"

I had been casually trying to get pregnant for almost four years.

2014. Right after I got married and moved to Singapore,Well, I got married and I thought I would become a mother someday.,With that thought in mind, I am enjoying my life abroad at my own pace.When they greeted me for the New Year, my parents-in-law asked me, "When is it due?"

Eh! You shouldn't say that! I screamed in my mind.It was this one word that made me realize that it was time to start thinking about this properly.I now think that it is because of that.

So, in Singapore, the first thing I did was to check my body...The examination revealed that I had a polyp in my uterus and that I needed surgery.

I was completely terrified, having never even been hospitalized in my life.The polyp is not malignant and there is no need to rush to remove it.So I said, "I'll wait and see for a while," and let it go.Before I knew it, a year and a half had passed since my first consultation. Even after moving to Hong Kong, the polyp was still located in my uterus.So I finally took a big decision and went overseas to have the tumor removed under general anesthesia for the first time in my life. However, it only took 30 minutes and I was able to leave the hospital the next day.

The final payment was so much that I thought there must have been a zero missing.I was a little dizzy for a moment, but the nurse said,The six months after having the polyp removed are the best time to get pregnant, so do your best."With this in mind,Now I'm finally thinking positively about trying to get pregnant..

Then came the problem of my husband's business trip and his late return home.Once that is cleared, the couple starts having pointless arguments...Before we knew it, six months of prime time was over.

My husband was waiting patiently, saying, "I hope you'll come someday."That has saved me some things, butI myself was anxious at this time.

It's not easy, what should I do?

So at the time, I felt irritated by my husband's attitude.Even though I knew it was not good,It was difficult to keep calm. And we couldn't even begin infertility treatment. In addition to the high medical costs in Hong Kong,Imagine the psychological damage it would cause if it didn't work out.,I was worried about whether I could get through it in my mental state at the time.Less burden,Is there anything I can do to have fun while trying to get pregnant?So I decided to look into it.

At the same time, the change in seasons caused my skin condition to deteriorate.There have been times whenI decided to try a Chinese medicine clinic that I had been interested in for a while.

When he took my pulse, he simply said, "It's very shallow."

During the interview, I told her that I wanted to get pregnant,I was told that I needed to change my body so that more blood would circulate throughout my body.did.

Less than a year later,Even after my skin problems were cured, I continued to come to the clinic with the goal of making my body more likely to become pregnant.The doctor came in to check the condition of the uterus after the polyps were removed.I also went to the pediatrics department.By continuing to try to conceive while having your ovulation timing checked, you will become pregnant.I was able to.

The checkup was done at the same private clinic as the gynecologist.She is a female doctor who can speak Japanese and is an extremely experienced doctor with over 10 years experience in this field.While I was fighting back against his blunt words,Bring your husband along.In the second half, it seemed more like a chat than a medical examination,Please feel free to talk about your concerns during pregnancy, the nutrition you want to take, and the supplements you should take.We were able to enjoy watching the baby grow in the womb together.It's a good memory.

In her private life, she is a grandmother with grandchildren!But Teacher Stephanie.I'm super active and whenever I get a break I go on vacation right away.

A common thought in both Japan and Hong Kong is,It is important to have a trusting relationship with the people you entrust your body to.I think it also depends on the person you get along with, but I want to leave it to this person!I think it's best to be examined at a place where you can be satisfied with your condition. I was one of my friends who was late in pregnancy and childbirth,I've been listening to the stories of my friends' babies and children for a long time.When I wasn't even aware of my pregnancy, I was happy to hear about it.During pregnancy, I was sensitive to the words of friends who had become mothers before me.I feel pressured and anxious, and my emotions are all over the place.That's why hospitals and places where you can get your body treated are relaxing spaces.I want it to be a place where people can share their worries and concerns.

The Chinese medicine doctor, hospital, and maternity classes I have been going to since before I gave birth.Macrobiotic cooking class, mugwort steaming and Gyrotonic,I attended a flower arrangement class to refresh myself...The people I met wereThankfully, it is still a part of my life.Thank you for your support.

My Chinese medicine teacher was very happy about the birth of my son.I still go there to get rid of mastitis.

Then, it seemed that Chinese medicine was very good for me.Since I started drinking it, my body no longer feels cold to the core.I felt like I was getting lighter.You will also be less likely to get tired in your daily life, and with the advice of a Chinese medicine doctor,I also started to try to live a life that would keep my body warm.This may have been a good thing. In Hong Kong, there are many Chinese medicine doctors, and it is not as difficult to get into as in Japan.If you are trying to get pregnant, you may want to give it a try.My friends have also found Chinese medicine doctors who are right for them.It's interesting because each clinic has different methods of prescribing herbal medicine and treatment.

My body is finally back to normal,I started exercising a little at a time.

This is Hong Kong.

Although it is overseas, it is close to Japan.It is also easy to come into contact with Eastern medicine and food culture.Everyone is very kind to pregnant women and children. I am grateful to have been able to experience everything from pregnancy to child rearing in such a wonderful place.Thank you! It's the same with raising children, but instead of focusing on the difficult parts,I want to capture the little funny and fun moments in my daily life.Find Mr.I want to spend my time cherishing those experiences.
