What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Johannesburg?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Johannesburg about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Johannesburg before having a baby. Make sure to find a reputable hospital or clinic that is well-equipped to handle any medical needs that may arise during the pregnancy and delivery. Additionally, it is important to find a doctor or midwife who is experienced in delivering babies in Johannesburg. It is also important to research the laws and regulations regarding childbirth in South Africa, as they may differ from those in other countries. Finally, it is important to make sure that you have access to a support system of family and friends who can help you during the pregnancy and after the baby is born," wrote a member who made the move to Johannesburg, South Africa.
