What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Harbour Island?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Harbour Island 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 the Bahamas. While the country has a good standard of healthcare, it may not be as comprehensive as what you're used to in your home country. Secondly, ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care and childbirth. This is crucial as medical costs can be high, especially if complications arise. Thirdly, consider the location of your nearest hospital or medical facility. Harbour Island is relatively small and you may need to travel to Nassau for certain medical services. Fourthly, it's advisable to have a local doctor or midwife who you trust and feel comfortable with. They can guide you through the process and provide valuable advice and support. Fifthly, be aware of the climate and environment. The Bahamas is a tropical country and this can impact your comfort and health during pregnancy. Stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun. Lastly, try to connect with other expat parents or parenting groups. They can provide support, share experiences and offer practical advice about having a baby in the Bahamas," commented one expat who made the move to Harbour Island, Bahamas.
