What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Smith's?

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Smith's 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 it's crucial to understand how the system works and what is covered by insurance. Secondly, prenatal care is essential for the health of both the mother and the baby. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are necessary to monitor the progress of the pregnancy and to detect any potential problems early. Thirdly, consider hiring a doula or midwife. They can provide additional support and guidance throughout the pregnancy and during childbirth. Fourthly, it's important to plan for the birth. This includes deciding whether to give birth at a hospital or at home, and making arrangements for any necessary medical interventions. Fifthly, be prepared for the cost. Having a baby can be expensive, especially in Bermuda where the cost of living is high. Make sure you have a financial plan in place to cover the costs of prenatal care, childbirth, and postnatal care. Lastly, take advantage of the support networks available to you. This could include expat groups, parenting classes, and online forums. These can provide valuable advice and emotional support during this exciting but challenging time. Remember, it's okay to ask for help. Whether it's from a healthcare provider, a friend, or a family member, don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance," commented one expat who made the move to Smith's, Bermuda.
