Pregnancy in Kuwait

Christine
#1
Hi,

could you please share advice and tips about pregnancy in Kuwait?

Who are the best gynecologists for pregnancy follow-ups?

Which hospitals or clinics would you recommend to give birth in Kuwait?

Thanks a lot for your advice :)

"Dar Al Shifa hospital - Royal Hayat hospital - Muwasat hospital" Are the best. But if you want a hospital with lower prices you can try "Alia hospital - Taiba clinic".

Hope this helps :)

I don't personally have this problem... but it had been mentioned before in conversation and all the answers were mostly speculation.

So, what if a woman who isn't married (or who's husband isn't here) where to get pregnant?

Can/will she get care here?
Will she be forced to leave?
Will her baby be taken from her?

its very difficult as most of the forms for child birth and registration of the baby require the fathers signature, and also a marriage certificate.

unless someone has gone through it before, its difficult to get answers. in general, women who bear children out of wedlock most probably give birth elsewhere. im not sure either.
