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

"Having a baby in Helsinki can be a wonderful and exciting experience. To make the most of your time in the city, it is important to be prepared in advance and to have access to resources. Start by researching hospitals in the area and creating a birthing plan. Familiarize yourself with the city’s health care system, even if you have private health insurance, so that you know what services are available to you and your baby. Make sure to register with the public health and maternity clinics and to find out about the different pre-natal classes and post-natal services on offer. It is also important to look into information about the maternity leave and benefits available to you from the Finnish government. Make sure to connect with other expat parents in the city, who can give you tips and support on how to navigate Helsinki with a newborn," said a member in Helsinki, Finland.
