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

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Coron 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 the Philippines. While Coron has a hospital, it may not have the same level of facilities as larger cities. Therefore, you may want to consider traveling to a larger city for the birth. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care and childbirth. The cost of healthcare can be high, and not all services may be covered by the local health system. Find a good obstetrician or midwife who you feel comfortable with. They should be able to guide you through the process and provide you with the necessary prenatal care. Take the time to understand the local customs and traditions related to childbirth. This can help you to feel more comfortable and integrated into the community. Ensure that your passport and visa are up to date, and that you understand the process for registering the birth and obtaining a passport for your baby. This can be a complex process, so it's worth researching in advance. Consider taking prenatal classes, which can provide you with valuable information and support. These may be available in English, or you may need to find a translator. Finally, make sure you have a strong support network. Having a baby in a foreign country can be challenging, so it's important to have people around you who can help and support you," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Coron, Philippines.
