What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Kuwait?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Kuwait about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"As with seeing an doctor in Kuwait, you really have to educate yourself and be your own best advocate rather than putting all of your trust in a physician. If you want an epidural or a caesarean, you can easily find what you are looking for. If you want a natural birth, you will have to fight for it somewhat because doctors and nurses here aren't used to that. Make sure you get plenty of sunshine and vitamin D because it can cause intrauterine growth restriction. Exercise and eat healthy foods so you will be in the best shape for labor," remarked another expat who made the move to Kuwait City, Kuwait.
"I would recommend my favorite books, because there are not prenatal classes for first time parents. I would recommend delivering at Royale Hayat because they are the most natural-birth-friendly," explained one expat living in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
