An Expat Talks about What is Was Like Having a Baby in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Submitted by ResearchTeam

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

San Miguel de Allende

If a friend of yours living in the same country were expecting a baby, what advice would you give her?

It is important to research pregnancy health care providers and protocols in advance, as they can vary from country to country. It may be beneficial to learn some basic Spanish to help when meeting with health care providers or communicating with local people who may not speak English. Consider asking your birth and postpartum care providers what their emergency protocols are, in case there are any complications. It is important to consider the availability of essential health care items such as newborn diapers, formula, and baby clothing in your region and make sure you have them in your home before giving birth. Joining an expat parents group or visiting an expat-friendly cafe or restaurant can provide you with access to a network of expat parents and sources of information about local resources and services.
