We asked expat moms who gave birth in Panama City about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research the best hospitals and doctors in Panama City to ensure you have the best care for your baby. 2. Consider enrolling in a prenatal class to learn more about the birthing process and what to expect. 3. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding birth certificates and other paperwork. 4. Consider joining an expat group or forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Panama City and can provide helpful advice. 5. Make sure to have a plan in place for after the baby is born, such as childcare and transportation. 6.

"Don't be afraid, most medical professionals received their training in the United States. Panama is renowed for having the best medical care in all of Central America," wrote a member who made the move to Panama City, Panama.
