It is common for signs of labor to appear after the 37th week of pregnancy. If you experience regular contractions, small amounts of bleeding, or your water breaks, contact your hospital immediately for instructions. Avoid taking a bath or shower before heading to the hospital as there is a risk of infection.If you experience heavy bleeding, strong abdominal pain, or a headache, contact the hospital early.
Transportation Options:
Maternity Taxi
In Tokyo, taxi companies offer maternity taxi services in different areas. If you register your address, the hospital's address, and contact details in advance, you can simply call the taxi company when labor begins, and they will pick you up from your home and take you to the hospital. To find a taxi company in your area, search for "maternity taxi" along with your local area. Registration for a maternity taxi is free of charge.
Of course, it is fine to use a regular taxi as well.

If you're using your own car, make sure to have a family member drive you instead of driving yourself.
