What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Gambia?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Gambia about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Gambia before having a baby there. Make sure to find a reliable doctor or midwife who is experienced in delivering babies in Gambia. It is also important to be aware of the cultural norms and expectations surrounding childbirth in Gambia. Additionally, it is important to be prepared for the cost of having a baby in Gambia, as medical costs can be high. Finally, it is important to be aware of the laws and regulations surrounding the birth of a child in Gambia, as they may differ from those in your home country," wrote a member who made the move to Gambia.
