What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Netherlands?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Netherlands about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It's important to research and find out about the different health care options and providers available to you in the Netherlands prior to having a baby. It is also recommended to register with a local GP practice for the antenatal care for your pregnancy and a midwife for postnatal care. Many expats find that knowing the local language helps with understanding the health care system and interacting with medical professionals. Lastly, don’t be afraid to ask family, friends, or medical professionals for advice, as they can provide invaluable support for any expat having a baby in the Netherlands," remarked another expat in Netherlands.
"Try not to worry about labor pain. You will get through it even without an epidural," said a member in Leiden, Netherlands.
