Calling Mums in Portugal!
Are you an international mum living in Portugal? We are hoping to build up mumsinportugal.com so that it can become a useful place for mums to come and share their experiences and get information. The site has a forum, all you need to do is simply register on the site which is easy and absolutely free to do, and introduce yourself. If you have any information about playgroups, midwives, schools...or anything that could be helpful to another mum we would love you to share as much with Mums in Portugal as possible! We would also love to hear from you if you have a particular story that you would like to share with us. Perhaps your birth story, or maybe you have set up your own business in Portugal and would like to share your journey.

Tips for the Travelling Mum
As soon as you board a plane you are very restricted when it comes to space. Remember when you used to travel alone, busy getting comfy in your seat only to realise that you would need your wallet for when you would be asked you if you wanted refreshments, you could simply stand up and nimbly extract your purse from your bag and sit back down all in the blink of an eye.
Raising Bilingual Children - The Snags
I speak Swedish and my husband's native language is English. When we had our two children, we had no doubt that we wanted to raise them with equal access to both languages. Now, years later, when I've made promoting multilingual child-raising not just my avocation, but my vocation as well, people ask me for the straight story, warts and all.
Real birth experiences from real women living in Portugal! When you find out that you are pregnant there is a great need to collect as much information as possible. Being able to read or discuss other women's birth experiences can positively impact your approach to your own labour dramatically.
