Escazu

If a friend of yours living in the same country were expecting a baby, what advice would you give her?

It is a great idea to do your research beforehand and to get familiar with the local hospitals and doctors you can use for the birth. Get in touch with a midwife or local doula if possible and make sure to let your health insurance plan know that you are expecting. It is also important to have a good support system around you during pregnancy and once the baby is born. Get in contact with other expat families and groups who can offer advice and support through the process. Additionally, ensure that you complete all the necessary paperwork and obtain the right documentation for your baby. Finally, enjoy the journey together!
