What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Cali?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Cali about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research the local healthcare system and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Consider taking a childbirth education class to learn more about the birthing process and what to expect. 3. Ask other expats in the area for advice and recommendations on local hospitals, doctors, and midwives. 4. Make sure to have a plan for after the baby is born, such as childcare, transportation, and other support services. 5. Familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding birth certificates and other paperwork. 6. Take advantage of the cultural and social activities available in Cali to meet other parents and build a support network," remarked another expat who made the move to Cali, Colombia.
