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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Vung Tau about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Firstly, it's important to find a reliable healthcare provider. There are several international clinics and hospitals in Vung Tau that offer maternity services. Make sure to check their credentials and reviews before choosing one. Secondly, understand the local customs and traditions related to childbirth. Vietnamese culture has many unique practices and beliefs when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth, so it's good to be aware of these to avoid any cultural misunderstandings. Thirdly, consider hiring a local doula or midwife. They can provide valuable support and guidance throughout the pregnancy and childbirth process, especially if you're not familiar with the local healthcare system. Fourthly, make sure you have adequate health insurance. Medical costs in Vietnam can be high, especially for expats, so it's crucial to have a good insurance plan that covers maternity care. Fifthly, learn some basic Vietnamese phrases related to pregnancy and childbirth. This can be very helpful when communicating with local healthcare providers. Lastly, connect with other expat parents in Vung Tau. They can provide valuable advice and support, and may be able to recommend specific doctors, hospitals, or other resources," wrote a member who made the move to Vung Tau, Vietnam.
