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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Diego Martin 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 Trinidad and Tobago. The country has both public and private healthcare, with the private sector offering a higher standard of care. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Some insurance companies may require a waiting period before maternity coverage is provided, so plan accordingly. Find a good obstetrician and pediatrician. Ask for recommendations from other expats or locals, or do your own research online. Understand the local customs and practices around childbirth. In Trinidad and Tobago, it's common for the father to be present during the birth, and for the baby to stay in the same room as the mother after the birth. Consider hiring a doula or midwife. They can provide additional support and guidance during the pregnancy and birth process. Make sure you understand the process for registering the birth and obtaining a birth certificate. This is crucial for establishing your baby's citizenship and identity. Prepare for the climate. Diego Martin is hot and humid, so make sure you have appropriate clothing and equipment for your baby. Finally, try to connect with other expats who have had babies in Diego Martin. They can provide invaluable advice and support," wrote a member who made the move to Diego Martin, Trinidad & Tobago.
