What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Oslo?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Oslo about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Norway and familiarize yourself with the maternity services available. 2. Consider enrolling in a childbirth education class to learn more about the birthing process and what to expect. 3. Reach out to other expat parents in the area to get advice and support. 4. Make sure to apply for a Norwegian ID number and register your baby with the Norwegian National Registry. 5. Consider joining a local parenting group or online forum to connect with other parents in the area. 6. Take advantage of the generous parental leave benefits offered in Norway. 7. Make sure to research the childcare options available in your area. 8. Take the time to explore the city and get to know the local culture and customs," wrote a member who made the move to Oslo, Norway.
