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

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Novigrad 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 many expats choose to have private health insurance for more comprehensive coverage. Make sure to find a good obstetrician and hospital for your prenatal care and delivery. Novigrad has several healthcare facilities, but you may want to travel to a larger city for more specialized care. It's also crucial to understand the maternity leave policies in Croatia. The country offers a generous maternity leave policy, but it may differ for expats depending on your employment situation. You should also consider the language barrier. While many doctors and nurses speak English, not all medical staff may be fluent. It might be helpful to learn some basic Croatian phrases related to pregnancy and childbirth, or consider hiring a translator. Remember to register the birth with both the local authorities in Croatia and with your home country's embassy or consulate. This will ensure that your child has the appropriate citizenship and legal documents. Finally, try to connect with other expats who have had babies in Croatia. They can offer valuable advice and support during this exciting time," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Novigrad, Croatia.
