Birth & New Parent Resources

Navigating all the steps when you have a new baby or about to welcome a new baby can be challenging when birthing abroad. But there are many resources you can count on to help make the process a wee bit easier.

We have also done our best to compile some of that information here so that you can quickly find it, wherever you might be. Trust us, we get it - you have way too many printouts to keep it all straight sometimes or have it when you need it.
