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

Answer this Question

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

"1. Research and choose a hospital or birthing center in Trogir that suits your needs and preferences. Some expats prefer private hospitals for their advanced facilities and English-speaking staff. 2. Familiarize yourself with the Croatian healthcare system. While it is generally of a high standard, understanding how it works will help you navigate it more efficiently. 3. Consider hiring a doula or midwife who speaks both English and Croatian. They can provide valuable support and bridge any language barriers during the birthing process. 4. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care and childbirth. Check if your policy covers newborn care as well. 5. Attend prenatal classes if they are available. They can provide valuable information and help you prepare for childbirth. 6. Connect with other expat parents in Trogir. They can offer advice, share experiences, and provide support. 7. Make sure you understand the legal requirements for registering your baby's birth and obtaining a passport. The process can be different for expats, so it's important to get accurate information. 8. Prepare for the possibility of a language barrier. Not everyone in Trogir may speak English, so learning some basic Croatian phrases can be helpful. 9. Respect local customs and traditions related to childbirth and parenting. While you may not choose to follow them, understanding them can help you integrate better into the local community. 10. Finally, enjoy this special time in your life. Having a baby in a foreign country can be a unique and enriching experience," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Trogir, Croatia.
