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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Czech healthcare system. The standard of healthcare in the Czech Republic is generally high, with a good number of hospitals and clinics in Plzen. Ensure that your health insurance covers maternity costs. If you are employed in the Czech Republic, you should be covered by the state health insurance. If not, you will need to arrange private health insurance. Find a good gynecologist and hospital for your prenatal care and delivery. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or your local friends. Learn some basic Czech medical terms or consider hiring a translator for your doctor's appointments, as not all medical staff may speak English fluently. Register your baby's birth within three days at the local Registry Office. If you or your partner are not Czech citizens, you will need to contact your embassy or consulate to ensure your baby's citizenship and passport are sorted. Consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide additional support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and during childbirth. Look into prenatal classes, as they can provide valuable information and help you prepare for childbirth. Some hospitals in Plzen may offer these classes in English or other languages. Finally, connect with other expats who have had babies in Plzen or join local parenting groups. They can provide advice, share their experiences, and offer emotional support," wrote a member who made the move to Plzen, Czechia.
