What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Kuwait?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Kuwait about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Kuwait before having a baby. Make sure to find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding childbirth and parenting. Additionally, it is a good idea to join a local expat group or forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Kuwait and can provide advice and support. Finally, make sure to take time to relax and enjoy the experience of having a baby in Kuwait," said a member in Kuwait.

"As with seeing an doctor in Kuwait, you really have to educate yourself and be your own best advocate rather than putting all of your trust in a physician. If you want an epidural or a caesarean, you can easily find what you are looking for. If you want a natural birth, you will have to fight for it somewhat because doctors and nurses here aren't used to that. Make sure you get plenty of sunshine and vitamin D because it can cause intrauterine growth restriction. Exercise and eat healthy foods so you will be in the best shape for labor," remarked another expat who made the move to Kuwait City, Kuwait.
