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

Answer this Question

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Singapore. The country has a high standard of healthcare and many expats choose to have their babies there. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or a birth coach who can guide you through the process and provide emotional support. Thirdly, start looking for a suitable obstetrician or gynecologist early on. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or from your local doctor. Fourthly, make sure you understand the costs involved. Having a baby in Singapore can be expensive, especially if you are not covered by insurance. Fifthly, consider where you want to give birth. There are several hospitals in Tanjong Pagar and the surrounding areas that offer maternity services. Sixthly, if you are planning to work while pregnant, understand your rights. Singapore has laws in place to protect the rights of pregnant women in the workplace. Seventhly, look into prenatal classes. These can be a great way to prepare for the birth and to meet other expectant parents. Lastly, don't forget to plan for after the birth. This might include arranging for a confinement nanny or making plans for childcare. Remember, it's important to take care of your own health as well. Make sure you are eating well, getting enough rest, and taking time to relax and enjoy this special time," said a member in Tanjong Pagar, Singapore.
