What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Dublin?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Dublin about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research the maternity care options available to you in Dublin, as well as the different types of birthing options available. 2. Consider joining a local antenatal class to meet other expectant parents and learn more about the birthing process. 3. Make sure to register with a local GP and midwife as soon as possible to ensure you have access to the best possible care during your pregnancy. 4. Consider hiring a doula or birth companion to provide additional support during the birthing process. 5. Make sure to take time to relax and enjoy your pregnancy, as it can be a stressful time. 6. Consider joining a local expat group or online forum to connect with other expat parents and get advice and support," explained one expat living in Dublin, Ireland.
