What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Poland?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Poland about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Poland before having a baby. Make sure to find a doctor or midwife who speaks your language and is familiar with your culture. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the maternity and paternity leave policies in Poland. Additionally, it is a good idea to look into the availability of childcare options in your area. Finally, make sure to take advantage of the support networks available to expats in Poland, such as expat forums and Facebook groups," said another expat in Poland.
"Don't worry - Poznan maternity prenatal, labour and post natal facilities and care is excellent. Your in good hands, as a european citizen with an E1 11 card my labour cost 300pln, midwife 700pln the monthly doctors visits cost 130pln per visit, various tests etc about 600pln. Excellent care very good experience," wrote a member who made the move to Poznan, Poland.
