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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Uruguay. The country has a high standard of healthcare, with both public and private options available. However, private healthcare is recommended for expats for its higher quality of service and shorter waiting times. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Check if your insurance plan covers prenatal care, childbirth, and postnatal care. If not, consider upgrading your plan or getting additional coverage. Find a good obstetrician who speaks your language or with whom you feel comfortable communicating. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or from your local embassy. Piriapolis is a small town, so you may need to travel to Montevideo or another larger city for certain medical services. Plan your travel arrangements in advance, especially as your due date approaches. Take advantage of prenatal classes if they are available. These can help you prepare for childbirth and parenthood, and can also be a great way to meet other expectant parents. Uruguay has a strong culture of breastfeeding, so expect to see it widely practiced and supported. If you choose to breastfeed, you should find plenty of resources and support. Finally, be aware of the legal requirements for registering your baby's birth. You will need to register the birth with both the local authorities in Uruguay and with your home country's embassy or consulate to ensure your child's citizenship rights," said another expat in Piriapolis, Uruguay.
