Story of an International Student who Became Pregnant and Gave Birth in Japan
Ai, a university research student, started dating a male international student attending a vocational school and had an unplanned pregnancy. Her symptom of morning sickness was so severe in the early stages of pregnancy that she couldn't travel school by train. Her school absences continued, and the attendance rate fell below 70%. She became worried that her status of residence might not be renewed if her absences continued.
Ai told her teacher and the school staff about her pregnancy. The staff said it would be difficult to continue her studies if she couldn't come to school, but the teacher understood Ai's desire to continue. Ai went to the clinic following her teacher's advice and had her medical certificate state that she was ill due to pregnancy. She submitted the certificate to the Immigration Bureau and was able to renew her status of residence.
When giving birth, Ai's mother came to Japan as a temporary visitor to help Ai. Ai married the vocational school student after giving birth. After staying in Japan for about three months, Ai's mother took the baby to Vietnam. After finishing her study at the university, Ai went on to study at a vocational school. She is planning to bring the child, whom her family in Vietnam has been raising, to Japan and raise her together with her husband after graduation and future employment.
If Ai had been absent without consulting with the school teacher, she might have been expelled. Her status of residence would not have been renewed. If you become pregnant, talk to the teacher or staff that you can trust.
