What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Lake Chapala?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Lake Chapala about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"1. Make sure to research the healthcare options available to you and your baby in the area, including local midwives, obstetricians, and pediatricians. 2. Consider visiting a public health clinic in the area as soon as possible, especially if you need to access vaccines or supplies. 3. Consider taking a childbirth education course prior to the baby's birth, to give you a better idea of what to expect during labor and delivery. 4. Find out what the local hospital procedures are and make sure you take any necessary paperwork with you when you go in for delivery. 5. Look into creating a support network by connecting with other expats near you who have had a baby. 6. Research the maternity leave policies of your employer and any legal information related to maternity leave. 7. Consider joining online forums, clubs, or Facebook groups related to parenting in the area. 8. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the local health and safety regulations. 9. Make sure to visit your normal doctor for any pre-natal visits to check for possible issues. 10. Take the time to research any cultural differences when it comes to parenting and childbirth, to ensure you are properly prepared for the experience," said another expat in Lake Chapala, Mexico.
