The omamori you purchased is for a safe childbirth (安産), and it appears you got it at Ueno Park Kannon Temple correct?

If you’re expecting, congratulations! If not, you’re welcome to give it to someone else who is, or just keep as a souvenir. :-)

I recently just went to Tokyo and while I was there, I actually picked up an omamori too. Unfortunately I don’t speak or read Japanese, so I’m not sure what my omamori is for. Would you be able to help me at all? I’ve uploaded a photo of the front and back of it to Flickr, here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yl_926_533/with/6937009116/. Thank you!
