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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Liberta 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 Antigua and Barbuda. The country has a mix of public and private healthcare facilities, and while the standard of care is generally good, it may not be as comprehensive as what you're used to in your home country. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Some insurance policies may not cover pregnancy and childbirth, so it's crucial to check this in advance. Find a good obstetrician and hospital for your prenatal care and delivery. It's advisable to do this as early as possible in your pregnancy. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or from your local doctor. Consider hiring a doula or midwife to support you during your pregnancy and childbirth. They can provide valuable emotional and physical support, as well as help you navigate the local healthcare system. Make sure you understand the local customs and practices around childbirth. In Antigua and Barbuda, it's common for women to give birth in a hospital, but home births are also an option if you have a qualified midwife. Prepare for the possibility of needing to travel for certain medical services. While Antigua and Barbuda has good healthcare facilities, they may not offer all the specialized care that you might need during your pregnancy. Finally, start planning for your child's citizenship and passport. If you're not a citizen of Antigua and Barbuda, you'll need to check the local laws to see if your child will automatically receive citizenship, or if there are any steps you need to take to ensure this," said a member in Liberta, Antigua & Barbuda.
