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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Sibenik 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 Croatia. The country has a universal healthcare system, but private healthcare is also available. You should ensure that your health insurance covers maternity costs in Croatia. Secondly, you should find a good obstetrician and hospital for your prenatal care and delivery. Sibenik has several hospitals and clinics, and it's advisable to choose one that suits your needs and preferences. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or locals. Thirdly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide additional support during pregnancy and childbirth. They can help you navigate the healthcare system, communicate with medical staff, and provide emotional and physical support. Fourthly, learn about the maternity leave policies in Croatia. The country offers a generous maternity leave of one year, with 100% pay for the first six months and a reduced percentage for the remaining period. Fifthly, if you're not fluent in Croatian, you might want to find an English-speaking doctor or midwife. Communication is crucial during pregnancy and childbirth, and you should feel comfortable and understood by your healthcare provider. Lastly, connect with other expats who have had babies in Sibenik or Croatia. They can provide valuable advice, share their experiences, and offer emotional support. There are several expat communities and online forums where you can connect with others," said a member in Sibenik, Croatia.
