What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Finland?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Finland about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Finland before having a baby. Make sure to register with a local health center and find out what services are available to you. Additionally, it is important to familiarize yourself with the maternity leave policies in Finland and to plan ahead for any financial needs you may have during this time. It is also beneficial to connect with other expat parents in Finland to get advice and support. Finally, take advantage of the excellent healthcare and childcare services available in Finland to ensure the best possible start for your baby," wrote a member who made the move to Finland.
