What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Adelaide?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Adelaide about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research pre and postnatal care options in Adelaide and identify the nearest hospitals and obstetricians that suit your needs. 2. Ask any expat friends in the area for a referral to a paediatrician and inquire about immunization requirements. 3. Familiarise yourself with Australia’s birth and childcare policies, including entitlements to parental leave and child care services. 4. Join an online expat community to gain tips and insights into living and raising a baby in Australia. 5. Take advantage of facilities offered by the city such as maternity and parenting classes, as well as postnatal support services. 6. Plan well ahead of the birth so you have everything you need ready when your little one arrives. 7. Begin to establish a routine for your family that factors in the extra costs associated with having a baby, such as nappies, formula, and doctor visits. 8. Explore the picturesque outdoor areas that Adelaide has to offer and take your baby for peaceful walks. 9. Take some time for yourself and find ways to replenish your energy, such as attending a yoga class or going for a massage. 10. Most importantly, enjoy your new baby and create precious memories together," wrote a member who made the move to Adelaide, Australia, Australia.
