I gave birth at Perinatal which is maternity hospital located in Laranjeiras. I stayed there for 4 days in a wonderful suite which looked more like a hotel room than a hospital room. It had an adjoining room which allowed me to receive my visitors without them crowding my hospital bed and had enough space for my husband and my 4-year old boy to stay. I had a C-section and my doctor and the nurses did everything to make my delivery a safe and comfortable one.

My doctor was recommended by a friend.
No, everything went well.
I chose to give birth in this hospital as it was a maternity one and they had all the facilities to take care of mom and baby. I made sure that they had ICU facilities for me and my baby if they were necessary. I was told that there is another good maternity hospital called CASA de SAO JOSE.

Expats talk about some of the biggest challenges they've faced living in Latin America. Whether you're moving to Panama City or Punta del Este, this article is a must read to help you prepare (hint: you'll be much happier if you learn the language) and adjust your expectations (realities: the roads are rough, the pace of life is slower and bureaucracy is unavoidable). Despite all of the challenges, the list of what expats like about life in Latin America far exceeds the challenges.
I am living in Rio for a short time and I am pregnant and need to see an OB a few times while I am here. I really need the doctor to be able to speak English. Do you have a recommendation?
