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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Greek healthcare system. Greece has both public and private healthcare, and as an expat, you may have access to both. However, the quality of care can vary, so it's important to do your research and choose a healthcare provider that suits your needs. Secondly, you should consider hiring a local doula or midwife who can guide you through the process of having a baby in Greece. They can provide valuable support and advice, and can help you navigate the Greek healthcare system. Thirdly, make sure you understand the legal requirements for having a baby in Greece. This includes registering the birth, obtaining a birth certificate, and any other necessary paperwork. It may be helpful to consult with a local lawyer or legal advisor to ensure you understand all the requirements. Fourthly, consider learning some basic Greek phrases related to pregnancy and childbirth. While many healthcare professionals in Greece speak English, there may be times when you need to communicate with someone who doesn't. Having some basic Greek language skills can be very helpful in these situations. Lastly, try to connect with other expats who have had babies in Greece. They can provide valuable insights and advice, and can help you feel more at home in your new surroundings. There are many online forums and social media groups where you can connect with other expats in Greece," wrote a member who made the move to Mykonos, Greece.
