I am a foreigner living in Japan for work (gijinkoku visa) I just found out that I am pregnant, and I would really like to keep the baby.
Since I live alone in my company's dormitory, do you think it is possible for me to do it? I have complicated circumstances, if anyone has experience / suggestions, I would really like to hear them.
I know it will be a tough road, but I am planning to give it all for the child living inside my tummy.
What I am considering:
– Would it be better to tell my company that I am pregnant first, or ask Municipal Office of benefits I could get?
– Has anyone has experience giving birth in Japan? What I am thinking is that I give birth in Japan then go back to my home country to raise my child until at least 1 year old, will I still get paternity benefits if I leave Japan although not permanently?
I am sorry if this post is confusing, but I would like to hear everyone's opinion… Thank you
