Becoming a mother is a life-changing experience. But when you’re far from home, in a different country with new customs, rules, and systems, it can feel even more overwhelming. 🌍💛
For many expat women, pregnancy and early motherhood in France come with endless questions:
How does the healthcare system work?
How do I express my preferences during pregnancy and childbirth?
What about maternity leave and childcare options?
A Journey Shared
I had the chance to meet Silvia at the rugby club.
We spent years together on the sidelines, watching games, sharing stories.
Like many women, she had to navigate pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood far from home, without the familiar support of family and friends.
To give you real insight into what it’s like to become a mother in France as an expat, I invite you to read Silvia’s experience. She’s a brilliant Spanish woman, a rugby partner, and someone who has lived through it all.
Her story is filled with lessons, emotions, and valuable advice for anyone facing the same journey.
