Athens, Greece
What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Athens?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Athens about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Athens before having a baby. Make sure to find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the local hospitals and birthing centers in the area. Additionally, it is a good idea to look into the availability of postnatal care and support services in the city. Finally, it is important to build a network of other expat parents who can provide advice and support during the pregnancy and after the baby is born," said another expat in Athens, Greece.
"If you want a hospital natural birth, get good Dr's names from me,LLL or Birth Voice, if you do no want the hospital experience, but still feeling safer to be close to a medical model, go to the Birth center, again we can advise you to a good midwife, if you want a home birth, there are midwives with a good repitation for exellant home births.If you want the 5 star,'hotel', with a painless, quick c/s, go to any Dr in a private Hosp," wrote a member who made the move to Athens, Greece.
