What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Greece?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Greece about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"I Would Not give her the name of this group of midwives--they were all terrible, unsympathetic wretches in my labor, taking time off to sleep b.c. I wasn't going fast enough. I would tell my friend to find a nice old midwife from the village who's been working autonomously forever and ever, and pay her to come to the house for the delivery. It's truly the safest option if you want a natural and safe labor and delivery. Plus, she will encourage nursing, which Nobody does there--not pediatricians, ob's, no one. Good Luck," said another expat in Athens, Greece.
"If you want a hospital natural birth, get good Dr's names from me,LLL or Birth Voice, if you do no want the hospital experience, but still feeling safer to be close to a medical model, go to the Birth center, again we can advise you to a good midwife, if you want a home birth, there are midwives with a good repitation for exellant home births.If you want the 5 star,'hotel', with a painless, quick c/s, go to any Dr in a private Hosp," wrote a member who made the move to Athens, Greece.
