Rurun Midwifery Clinic
About
Located about an 8-minute walk from Tanashi Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line in Minamicho, Nishitokyo City, Tokyo, Rurun Midwifery Clinic is a facility dedicated to providing comprehensive support for women before and after childbirth. The clinic does not handle deliveries, focusing instead on physical and mental care during pregnancy and the postpartum period, operating as a specialized facility that supports pregnant and postpartum women in the community. Its three main services are "Childbirth Preparation Classes," "Breastfeeding Consultations," and "Postpartum Care." The childbirth preparation classes include regular events and classes designed to prepare both body and mind for a safe delivery. The breastfeeding consultation service addresses various concerns during nursing, offering careful support at the start of childcare. Postpartum care is provided in a day care format, and as the clinic is commissioned by Nishitokyo City for its postpartum care program, residents of the city can use the service with subsidies. Non-residents can also use the service at full cost. English-speaking staff members are available, accommodating communication in languages other than Japanese. Electronic payment is also accepted, allowing for cashless transactions. Operating hours are from 9 AM to 5 PM, with the clinic closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and public holidays. As a facility that can be used alongside prenatal checkups at a regular hospital, it has gained support from pregnant and postpartum women in the community.
