Any pregnant women in Finland?

I came across an article that discussed in great detail what the Finland government gives to expecting moms in preparation for their baby, regardless of economic status. I was completely blown away by all the stuff that is given!?!? Have you been given one of these boxes before?

  • Sigh. Yet another reason to be jealous of Scandinavian moms. I'm totally having my next baby in Finland.
  • I remember on the Lila's Daydreams blog, the mom had an FAQ about the cute outfits she put Lila in and she said most of the pieces were from a gov't granted baby wear box--that must be what she was talking about!

  • I met a woman down here who had her first child in Sweden. She talked about how gentle and supportive every single staff member at the hospital was the whole time she was there. How she had space to move around in her room, so she could stand, kneel, or walk when needed. And then told me she had a double bed in the room so her H could spend the night with her and the LO.

    Sigh. We moved to Cape Town over a position in Stockholm. The weather sure is nicer, but now I'm rethinking our choice!
