What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Cabo Polonio?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Cabo Polonio about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"Firstly, it's important to note that Cabo Polonio is a remote and rustic location, so you should ensure you have access to necessary medical facilities. You may need to travel to a larger city for regular prenatal check-ups and for the delivery, as the local health facilities may not be equipped for childbirth. Secondly, make sure you have a comprehensive health insurance plan that covers both mother and baby, including prenatal care, delivery, and postnatal care. Thirdly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide support and guidance throughout the pregnancy and childbirth process. They can also help navigate any language barriers you may encounter. Fourthly, familiarize yourself with the local customs and traditions related to pregnancy and childbirth. This can help you feel more comfortable and integrated into the community. Fifthly, ensure you have a strong support network. This can be other expats, local friends, or family who can provide emotional and practical support. Lastly, plan ahead for the baby's citizenship and passport requirements. As an expat, your child may be eligible for dual citizenship, but the process can be complex and time-consuming. It's best to start this process as early as possible," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Cabo Polonio, Uruguay.
