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

Answer this Question

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

"1. Since the quality of care and availability of health services can vary greatly, it's important to research the options ahead of time to find the best and most appropriate provider for your family. 2. Many hospitals and clinics in Mexico City offer maternity services, so you may want to visit a few to get an idea of the available options. 3. Make sure to obtain the necessary documents and information so you can receive prenatal and post-natal care, as well as being informed about local laws regarding childbirth and family leave. 4. Finding reliable transportation to and from medical appointments can be tricky in Mexico City, as some places may have limited access to public transportation. Consider hiring a driver or arranging for a taxi service if needed. 5. It may be beneficial to hire a doula to help with the labor and birth process, as well as supporting any decisions you and your partner make. 6. Learn about the resources available for registering the baby's birth and for future baby care, including pharmacies, doctor offices, and even basic health care and vaccinations outside of the hospital setting. 7. Last but not least, don't forget to take care of yourself, as it's important to find the time and space to rest and also find support from other expat parents-to-be and local families," commented one expat who made the move to Mexico City, Mexico.
