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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Dutch healthcare system. Prenatal care in the Netherlands is typically handled by a midwife, unless there are complications. Secondly, consider taking Dutch language classes if you're not already fluent. While many Dutch people speak English, understanding the local language can make medical appointments and paperwork easier to navigate. Thirdly, look into the maternity and paternity leave policies in the Netherlands. The country has generous parental leave policies that you may be eligible for. Fourthly, start looking for a kraamzorg, a maternity nurse who will come to your home after the birth to help with the baby and light household tasks. This service is part of the Dutch healthcare system and is usually covered by insurance. Fifthly, consider joining local parenting groups or expat groups in Scheveningen. These can be a great source of support and information. Sixthly, research childcare options well in advance. There can be long waiting lists for daycare centers in the Netherlands. Lastly, make sure to register your baby's birth with your home country's embassy or consulate, as well as with the local Dutch authorities. This will ensure your child has the correct citizenship and legal documents," explained one expat living in Scheveningen, The Netherlands.
