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

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

"It is important to research the healthcare system in Iceland before having a baby, as it may be different from what you are used to. Make sure to register with a local doctor and hospital as soon as possible, and to familiarize yourself with the maternity services available. It is also important to make sure you have the necessary documents and paperwork in order before the baby arrives. Additionally, it is a good idea to connect with other expat parents in Iceland, as they can provide valuable advice and support," said a member in Iceland.
