What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Tervuren?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Tervuren about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Belgian healthcare system, which is one of the best in Europe. You will need to register with a local doctor or gynecologist who can guide you through the process of prenatal care and childbirth. Secondly, consider enrolling in a childbirth preparation class. These classes can help you understand what to expect during labor and delivery, and can also provide valuable information about caring for a newborn. Thirdly, make sure you understand your rights and benefits as an expectant parent in Belgium. The country offers generous maternity and paternity leave policies, as well as financial benefits for new parents. Fourthly, if you don't speak Dutch or French, look for English-speaking doctors and midwives. Many healthcare professionals in Belgium are multilingual and can provide care in English. Fifthly, consider hiring a doula. A doula can provide emotional support and guidance during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Lastly, take advantage of the many resources available to new parents in Tervuren and Belgium more broadly. There are numerous parenting groups, baby stores, and child-friendly activities to help you navigate the joys and challenges of parenthood," remarked another expat who made the move to Tervuren, Belgium.
