What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Siglufjordur?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Siglufjordur about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Iceland. The country has a high standard of healthcare and all residents, including expats, have access to it. Prenatal care is provided by both midwives and doctors, so you can choose the one you're most comfortable with. Secondly, learn about the maternity and paternity leave policies in Iceland. The country is known for its generous parental leave policies, which can be beneficial for you and your partner. Thirdly, consider learning the Icelandic language if you haven't already. While many Icelanders speak English, being able to communicate in the local language can make your experience smoother, especially in a small town like Siglufjordur. Fourthly, make sure to connect with other expats or local parents. They can provide valuable advice and support, and help you navigate the challenges of having a baby in a foreign country. Fifthly, prepare for the weather. Siglufjordur is in the north of Iceland and can be quite cold, especially in winter. Make sure you have appropriate clothing for your baby. Lastly, embrace the local culture and traditions. Iceland has a strong sense of community and family, which can be a great environment to raise a child," said another expat in Siglufjordur, Iceland.
