What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Tanzania?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Tanzania about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"There are so many what if's when having a baby in a third world country... I would tell my friend that she needs to be confident in her decision and that her and her spouse should agree on it, because whichever decision they make, they are going to have to not have any regrets if the what if's come true," explained one expat living in Arusha, Tanzania.

"It is important to research the healthcare system in Tanzania before having a baby there. Make sure to find a reliable doctor or midwife who is experienced in delivering babies in Tanzania. It is also important to be aware of the cultural norms and expectations surrounding childbirth in Tanzania. Additionally, it is important to be prepared for the cost of having a baby in Tanzania, as it may be more expensive than in other countries. Finally, it is important to build a support network of family and friends who can help you during the pregnancy and after the baby is born," said another expat in Tanzania.
