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

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Tiong Bahru 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 Singapore. The country has a high standard of healthcare and many English-speaking doctors, so you should feel comfortable discussing your pregnancy and any concerns you may have. Secondly, consider hiring a confinement nanny or maid to help you during the first month after the baby is born. This is a common practice in Singapore and can be a great help, especially if you don't have family nearby. Thirdly, make sure to register the birth of your baby within 14 days. This can be done at any hospital, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, or the Singapore embassy or consulate if you're not in the country. Fourthly, if you're planning on sending your child to an international school, it's a good idea to start looking into this early as popular schools can have long waiting lists. Fifthly, take advantage of the many parent and baby groups in Tiong Bahru and wider Singapore. These can be a great way to meet other parents, share experiences, and get advice. Lastly, remember to take time to enjoy this special time. Tiong Bahru is a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of parks, cafes, and activities for young families," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tiong Bahru, Singapore.
