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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Korea. The country has a high standard of healthcare and many doctors and nurses speak English, but it's always a good idea to learn some basic Korean medical terms. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and childbirth. They can help navigate the healthcare system, provide emotional support, and assist with communication barriers. Thirdly, research and choose a hospital or birthing center that suits your needs and preferences. Some expats prefer international hospitals where English is widely spoken, while others opt for local hospitals for a more authentic Korean experience. Fourthly, understand the cultural differences. In Korea, it's common for new mothers to stay in a postnatal care center, known as 'sanhujoriwon', for one to two weeks after giving birth. These centers provide round-the-clock care for the mother and baby, including meals, baby care, and postpartum treatments. Fifthly, make sure to register the birth with both the local Korean authorities and your home country's embassy or consulate to ensure your child's dual citizenship. Lastly, connect with other expat parents in Sejong City. They can provide invaluable advice, support, and friendship. There are numerous online forums and social media groups where you can connect with other expat parents," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Sejong City, Korea.
