About – Main Text

We give parents, and parents to be the confidence and information they need to have the birth and parenthood experiences they are looking for instead of what is easiest for hospital staff and most lucrative for medical professionals.

Unlike many other pregnancy, birth, health and wellness resources that base information on cultural assumptions, Bellies Abroad gives parents the resources needed to navigate this chapter of life wherever they may be, delivered through consultations with W.H.O. compliant professionals through online consultations, in home or in office visits. In addition to putting you in contact with carefully vetted and compassionate providers, we present fact based information in our Resources section on an array of relevant topics from health and well being to local norms. Last but not least, Bellies abroad also offers a welcoming community, both on and off line, to give you the support needed to make embarking upon your new transitions as smooth as possible.

Bellies Abroad was created because becoming a family can be daunting enough – doing it in another culture can be very overwhelming… We know, we have done it ourselves! Bellies Abroad is the fruition of ten years of experience working and living within this unique niche. Founder Kiersten Miller’s own birth adventure lead her to helping women learn from her experiences. Through her stores The Milk Bar she has been in a unique position to hear women speak openly and honestly about their birth and parenting experiences for the past 10 years. Hearing these stories has given her rare insights into what families need while embarking upon their parental journeys. Kiersten has been a trailblazer in bringing about change in her community as well as having already worked with the UK government to change their policy regarding maternal coverage for their foreign office families.

Bellies Abroad was created for you and your family, so please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments or feedback. Welcome to the greatest adventures of your lives!
