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

"Firstly, it's important to find a reliable healthcare provider. While Kampong Thom has local hospitals and clinics, they may not offer the same level of care as in your home country. You might want to consider traveling to a larger city like Phnom Penh for regular check-ups and for the delivery. Secondly, ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity and newborn care. Medical costs can add up quickly, especially if complications arise. Thirdly, familiarize yourself with local customs and traditions related to pregnancy and childbirth. This can help you understand and respect the local culture, and also help you navigate any potential cultural misunderstandings. Fourthly, consider hiring a translator if you're not fluent in Khmer. This can be particularly helpful during medical appointments and in emergencies. Fifthly, make sure your passport and visa are up to date, and that you understand the process for registering the birth of your child. Your home country's embassy or consulate can provide guidance on this. Lastly, try to connect with other expat parents in the area. They can offer invaluable advice and support, and may be able to recommend specific doctors, midwives, or hospitals," said another expat in Kampong Thom, Cambodia.
