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

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Serangoon Gardens 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 excellent hospitals and clinics. You should find a good obstetrician and gynecologist who you trust and feel comfortable with. Secondly, consider taking prenatal classes. These can be a great way to prepare for the birth of your baby and to meet other expectant parents. They often cover topics such as labor and delivery, breastfeeding, and newborn care. Thirdly, make sure you understand the maternity leave policies in Singapore. Both mothers and fathers are entitled to paid leave, but the exact amount can vary depending on your employment contract and citizenship status. Fourthly, start planning for your child's education early. Singapore has a competitive education system and many parents register their children for preschools and kindergartens well in advance. Fifthly, consider hiring a confinement nanny or domestic helper. In Singapore, it's common for new mothers to hire a confinement nanny for the first month after birth to help with the baby and household chores. Lastly, take advantage of the many resources available for parents in Singapore. There are numerous parenting groups, playgroups, and activities for children in Serangoon Gardens and the wider Singapore area. These can be a great way to meet other parents and to get advice and support," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Serangoon Gardens, Singapore.
