What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Indonesia?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Indonesia about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the local medical system and the different hospitals in area to ensure top quality medical care for your baby. Make sure you inform your doctor of any medical history relevant to the baby, and consider enrolling in a private health insurance policy to cover any medical costs. Familiarizing yourself with the local regulations and document requirements for registering the birth of your baby is also advised. Lastly, connecting with other expat families with young babies can be an invaluable source of support during your transition to life in Indonesia," remarked another expat who made the move to Indonesia.
"Find the right doctor, eat well, learn to breath for the delivery and get an insurance plan and make sure it covers maternity etc," explained one expat living in Jakarta, Indonesia.
