What advice do you have for expats having a baby in East London?

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in South Africa. Private healthcare in South Africa is of a high standard, so consider investing in a good health insurance plan that covers maternity costs. Secondly, find a good obstetrician and pediatrician. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or locals. Thirdly, consider taking prenatal classes. These classes can help you prepare for childbirth and parenthood. They can also be a great way to meet other expectant parents in East London. Fourthly, if you're planning to give birth in a hospital, visit a few beforehand to find one where you feel comfortable. Fifthly, understand the maternity leave laws in South Africa. If you're working, you'll want to know how much time you can take off and what benefits you're entitled to. Sixthly, if you don't have family nearby, consider hiring a doula or a maternity nurse to help you during the first few weeks after the baby is born. Lastly, try to connect with other expat parents in East London. They can provide support and advice, and they can also be a great source of friendship for both you and your child," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to East London, South Africa.
