Be sure to thoroughly research the local medical professionals and care options to find ones that suit your needs and preferences. Be aware that while language and cultural differences may be present, the medical care available will likely be of the highest level. Prepare for the arrival of your baby by stocking up on diapers and baby items, and make sure to get updated on your immunizations in case you plan on traveling outside of Paradise Island. Additionally, don’t forget to find an English-speaking pediatrician and a support network of other new moms so that you can get through the early days and months a little easier.
