What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Pembroke?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Pembroke 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 important to understand how the system works and what is covered by insurance. Secondly, prenatal care is crucial. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider are essential to monitor the health of both the mother and the baby. 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, make sure to register the birth with both the local authorities and your home country's embassy or consulate. This will ensure that your child has the appropriate citizenship and legal rights. Lastly, take advantage of local resources. There are many support groups and community organizations in Pembroke that can provide advice and assistance to new parents. Remember, having a baby in a foreign country can be a challenging experience, but with the right preparation and support, it can also be a rewarding one," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Pembroke, Bermuda.
