What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Tabuk?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Tabuk 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 Tabuk. The city has several hospitals and clinics, but it's crucial to find one where you feel comfortable and trust the medical staff. Secondly, ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. This will help to cover the costs of prenatal care, delivery, and postnatal care. Thirdly, it's advisable to find a good obstetrician or midwife who speaks your language and understands your cultural background. This will make communication easier and ensure that your needs and preferences are understood and respected. Fourthly, consider taking prenatal classes. These can help you to prepare for childbirth and parenthood, and can also be a great way to meet other expectant parents in Tabuk. Fifthly, be aware that the cultural norms and practices around childbirth in Saudi Arabia may be different from what you're used to. For example, fathers may not be allowed in the delivery room in some hospitals. Sixthly, make sure you understand the legal requirements for registering the birth of your baby. This will likely involve obtaining a birth certificate from the hospital and then registering the birth with your home country's embassy or consulate. Lastly, try to build a support network of other expats who have had babies in Tabuk. They can provide invaluable advice and support, and may be able to recommend doctors, hospitals, and other resources," said a member in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia.
