What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Baguio city?

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

"Firstly, it's important to find a good healthcare provider. Baguio city has several hospitals and clinics, so you should research and choose one that suits your needs and preferences. You may want to consider factors such as the qualifications and experience of the medical staff, the facilities available, and the hospital's reputation. Secondly, you should familiarize yourself with the local customs and traditions related to childbirth. The Philippines has a rich cultural heritage, and understanding these customs can help you feel more comfortable and integrated into the community. Thirdly, consider hiring a local doula or midwife. They can provide valuable support and guidance throughout the pregnancy and childbirth process. They can also help you navigate the local healthcare system and advocate for your needs. Fourthly, ensure that you have adequate health insurance coverage. Healthcare in the Philippines can be expensive, especially for expats. Check whether your current insurance plan covers childbirth in the Philippines, and if not, consider getting a local health insurance plan. Fifthly, learn some basic Tagalog phrases. While English is widely spoken in the Philippines, knowing some local language can be helpful, especially in emergency situations. Lastly, connect with other expat parents in Baguio city. They can provide practical advice, emotional support, and valuable insights based on their own experiences. You can find these communities through social media groups, local clubs, or expat forums," commented one expat who made the move to Baguio city, Philippines.
