Conditions on accepting giving-birth

Those expecting a normal vaginal childbirth are welcome.
I do not accept patients who would like to deliver vaginally, but have previously had a caesarean section.
If it will be you first childbirth, I will ask about your age, height, etc. before accepting.
I will ask you to go to see obstetricians at Hoshigaoka-maternity-hospital several times during your pregnancy.
There are female or English-speaking doctors in the hospital.
If you have any health problems, the hospital will help you.
(It's not guaranteed that the female doctors will be available in an emergency)
Before coming to me, please take the maternity check up and examinations at the hospital and make sure you don't have any infectious disease or other health problem.
