This article explore works by five authors who deal with the financial costs of trying to get pregnant, being pregnant and giving birth in Japan today. It explores new reproductive technologies and the problems when people other than married women try to access them. The underlying message is that if a woman wants to try something her own way then there are steep costs associated with it and perhaps, by alleviating these costs, this could contribute to increasing the birthrate
