What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Benidorm?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Benidorm about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Spanish healthcare system. Spain has a high standard of healthcare and many doctors and nurses speak English, but it's always beneficial to learn some basic Spanish medical terms. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and childbirth. They can help navigate the healthcare system and ensure you understand all your options. Thirdly, make sure you understand the legal requirements for registering your baby's birth. In Spain, you must register the birth within eight days at the local Civil Registry. Fourthly, connect with other expat parents in Benidorm. They can provide invaluable advice and support, and may be able to recommend English-speaking doctors or midwives. Fifthly, ensure you have appropriate health insurance. Some policies may not cover pregnancy and childbirth, so it's important to check this in advance. Lastly, remember to take time to enjoy the experience. Having a baby in a foreign country can be challenging, but it's also an exciting adventure. Enjoy the unique aspects of pregnancy and childbirth in Spain, such as the tradition of eating 12 grapes for good luck during your last month of pregnancy," commented one expat who made the move to Benidorm, Spain.
