What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Five Islands Village?

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the local healthcare system in Five Islands Village. The healthcare facilities in Antigua & Barbuda are generally of a good standard, but it's always a good idea to research and choose a hospital or clinic that you feel comfortable with. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Check if your insurance plan covers prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care. If not, you may need to pay out of pocket or consider getting additional coverage. Find a good obstetrician or midwife who you trust and feel comfortable with. They should be able to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. Consider taking prenatal classes. These can be a great way to prepare for the birth and to meet other expectant parents in the area. Ensure that you have all the necessary documents for the baby. This includes a birth certificate and passport if you plan on traveling with the baby. It's also a good idea to check the citizenship laws in Antigua & Barbuda, as some countries automatically grant citizenship to children born there, while others do not. Finally, try to embrace the local culture and customs around childbirth. This can be a wonderful way to feel more connected to the community and to make the experience more special," commented one expat who made the move to Five Islands Village, Antigua & Barbuda.
