Japanese Views of Pregnancy????

[flowers4me]

hi! i am doing a project in ob this semester in ns about the japanese culture and their views of pregnancy. i can find all sorts of things about the japanese culture in general but none specific to pregnancy. i thought some of you ob nurses out there would be able to help me out in the way of resources or just personal experiences you have had with japanese ob patients. thanks!!

I did a Google search for "japanese pregnancy culture" and an entire list popped up.

i have done that, the only one that was helpful at all was the hawaiin community college page, but i can't use that source. all of the other ones were of no help to me, alot about the culture, not anything about the pregnancy or views of pregnancy. thanks for looking though, i need all the help i can get!
