What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Gros-Morne?

Answer this Question

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Martinique. The island is an overseas department of France, so it follows the French healthcare system. Make sure you have a good health insurance plan that covers maternity care. Secondly, find a good obstetrician or midwife who speaks your language. Communication is key during pregnancy and childbirth, so it's important to find a healthcare provider you can communicate with effectively. Thirdly, consider taking prenatal classes. These classes can help you prepare for childbirth and parenthood. They can also be a great way to meet other expectant parents in Gros-Morne. Fourthly, make sure you have all the necessary documents for your baby. This includes a birth certificate and passport. It's also a good idea to register the birth with your home country's embassy or consulate. Fifthly, be prepared for the climate. Martinique has a tropical climate, which can be hot and humid. Make sure you and your baby are comfortable and hydrated. Lastly, embrace the local culture. Martinique has a rich and diverse culture, and it can be a wonderful place to raise a child. Take the time to learn about the local customs and traditions, and incorporate them into your child's upbringing," remarked another expat who made the move to Gros-Morne, Martinique.
