Otonoha Maternity Clinic, aiming to create an environment where pregnant individuals can receive obstetric and gynecological care with peace of mind at home, has opened in Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, in May 2026. It is the first in Japan to offer "home-visit antenatal echo" and "morning sickness IV drip treatment" by specialist obstetricians and gynecologists. The clinic provides services primarily in Tokyo's 23 wards, Yokohama City, and Kawasaki City.

Background of Opening: To Accommodate "Burden of Hospital Visits" and "Time to Watch Over the Baby with Family"

Ultrasound examinations performed during prenatal check-ups are crucial for monitoring the baby's growth and the mother's condition. However, in actual clinical practice, due to time constraints, it can be difficult for partners, older children, or other family members to have ample time to view the baby's image.

Furthermore, during periods of morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum, not only is it difficult to consume enough fluids and food, but the very act of traveling to the hospital can also be a significant burden.

Otonoha Maternity Clinic was established as a clinic specializing in home visits to address these burdens faced by pregnant individuals and the sentiments of their families. Specialist obstetricians and gynecologists, along with midwives, will visit patients at their homes or temporary residences.

Three Features of Otonoha Maternity Clinic

1. Specialist Obstetrician and Gynecologist Visits Your Home: A Home-Visit Style to Reduce the Burden of Hospital Visits

Our clinic's specialist obstetricians and gynecologists, along with midwives, will visit your home or temporary residence directly. Instead of a consultation room, you can have your baby's condition checked in the comfort of your home through "home-visit antenatal echo," or receive "morning sickness IV drip treatment" if commuting to the hospital is difficult due to morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum.

2. Share Your Baby's Condition with Family Through Home-Visit Antenatal Echo

Home-visit antenatal echo is a service for those who wish to view their baby's condition at a relaxed pace, separate from regular prenatal check-ups.

Doctors will bring ultrasound equipment to check the fetus's size, heartbeat, position, amniotic fluid volume, and sex. Images and videos from the examination will be provided in a format viewable on smartphones or other devices.

While hospital prenatal check-ups may not allow for leisurely viewing of the ultrasound with partners, older children, or parents, at home, you can share this precious time during pregnancy while viewing your baby's condition together with your family in your familiar surroundings.

3. Support for Those Struggling with Morning Sickness or Hyperemesis Gravidarum Through Home IV Drip

During periods of morning sickness or hyperemesis gravidarum, individuals may vomit even after drinking fluids, be unable to eat much, or find going out and commuting to the hospital a significant burden due to severe symptoms.

Our "Morning Sickness/Hyperemesis Gravidarum Home IV Drip" service involves specialist obstetricians and gynecologists, along with midwives, visiting your home, conducting a consultation, and administering an IV drip based on the doctor's judgment.

Fetal heartbeat monitoring is also available depending on your preferences and gestational week. We will also guide you to consult with your primary healthcare provider based on your symptoms and situation.

Message from the Director

The pregnancy period is a time of joy in feeling the baby grow, but it can also be a time of physical changes, the burden of hospital visits, and anxiety.

As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I want to be there for pregnant individuals and their families in the comfort of their homes, where they can feel secure. With this desire, Otonoha Maternity Clinic was opened. We aim to provide options that allow pregnant individuals and their families to spend their time with greater peace of mind.
