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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Devonshire 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 Bermuda. The island has excellent healthcare facilities, but they can be expensive, so ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Secondly, consider hiring a local midwife or doula. They can provide valuable support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and childbirth, and can help you navigate the local healthcare system. Thirdly, start looking for a pediatrician early. It's important to find a doctor who you trust and feel comfortable with, as they will be a key part of your child's healthcare. Fourthly, if you're planning on giving birth in a hospital, visit the hospital beforehand to familiarize yourself with the facilities and procedures. This can help reduce any anxiety or uncertainty you may have about giving birth in a foreign country. Fifthly, connect with other expat parents in Devonshire or wider Bermuda. They can provide invaluable advice and support, and may be able to recommend local resources such as baby stores, pediatricians, and parenting groups. Lastly, make sure you understand the legal requirements for registering the birth and obtaining a passport for your baby. The process can be complex and time-consuming, so it's best to start researching and preparing as early as possible," said a member in Devonshire, Bermuda.
