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

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

"Firstly, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the local healthcare system and identify reputable hospitals and clinics in Oaxaca City. You may want to consider private healthcare facilities, as they often have English-speaking staff and offer a higher standard of care. It is also important to find a trusted obstetrician or midwife who can guide you through the pregnancy and delivery process. You can ask for recommendations from fellow expats or local friends, or search online for professionals with good reviews. Make sure to have all your necessary documents in order, such as passports, visas, and proof of residence. You will need these when registering your baby's birth and obtaining their birth certificate. Learn about the prenatal care and birthing options available in Oaxaca City, such as home births, birthing centers, or hospital deliveries. Research the pros and cons of each option and choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences. Ensure that you have adequate health insurance coverage for both the mother and the baby. This will help cover any medical expenses that may arise during pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care. Join local expat groups or online forums to connect with other expat parents in Oaxaca City. This can be a valuable source of support, advice, and friendship during your pregnancy and after the baby is born. Take the time to learn about local customs and traditions surrounding pregnancy and childbirth. This will help you better understand and navigate the cultural differences you may encounter during your pregnancy journey in Oaxaca City. Consider taking prenatal classes, either in person or online, to prepare for the birth of your baby. These classes can help you learn about labor, delivery, and newborn care, as well as provide an opportunity to meet other expectant parents. Finally, enjoy the unique experience of having a baby in Oaxaca City. Embrace the local culture, food, and traditions, and create lasting memories for you and your growing family," wrote a member who made the move to Oaxaca City, Mexico.
