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

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Orchard Road 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 hospitals have maternity units with English-speaking staff. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or a maternity nurse who can provide support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and after the baby is born. Thirdly, make sure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity costs. Healthcare in Singapore can be expensive, especially for non-residents. Fourthly, start looking for a pediatrician early on. Many expats prefer pediatricians who are familiar with international health issues and vaccination schedules. Fifthly, if you're planning to work while pregnant, understand your rights. Singapore has laws in place to protect the rights of pregnant women in the workplace. Sixthly, consider joining expat groups or online forums. They can provide valuable advice and support, as well as opportunities to socialize with other expectant parents in the same situation. Lastly, plan ahead for childcare. Singapore has a range of options from live-in helpers, to daycares and preschools. It's best to start researching early to find the best fit for your family," remarked another expat who made the move to Orchard Road, Singapore.
