What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Bullet Tree Falls?

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the local healthcare system in Belize. While the country has a number of public and private hospitals, the quality of care can vary. You may want to consider traveling to a larger city for prenatal care and delivery, as these facilities often have more resources and experienced staff. Secondly, ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Medical costs can be high, especially if complications arise. Check if your policy covers both mother and baby, and if it includes neonatal care. Thirdly, consider hiring a local doula or midwife. They can provide valuable support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and during childbirth. They can also help navigate any language or cultural barriers you may encounter. Fourthly, make sure you have all necessary documentation for your baby. This includes a birth certificate and passport, which are necessary for registering the birth and for any future travel. It's also important to understand the citizenship laws in Belize, as your child may be eligible for dual citizenship. Fifthly, take care of your health. This includes eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding harmful substances. Belize has a tropical climate, so stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun. Lastly, connect with other expats. They can provide valuable advice and support, and may be able to recommend doctors, hospitals, or other resources. There are several online forums and social media groups for expats in Belize," wrote a member who made the move to Bullet Tree Falls, Belize.
