What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Norway?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Norway about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"If she were able to have a natural child birth, I would say 'go for it'. If she knew up front that she needed a c-section or there could be any complications, I would say 'run'," remarked another expat who made the move to Stavanger, Norway.
"First of all, make sure to take some time to familiarize yourself with birthing practices in Norway and the resources available to you. Secondly, find a maternity health care provider you trust and become familiar with the hospital or birth center you will be using. Thirdly, it's important to research the costs of giving birth in Norway and the options for health insurance coverage. Lastly, make sure to look into the individual rights and responsibilities associated with being a parent in Norway. Taking these steps will help you to prepare for bringing a new life into the world and adjusting to your new country at the same time," explained one expat living in Norway.
