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

Answer this Question

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

"1. Make sure to research the best hospitals and doctors in the area to ensure you have the best care for your baby. 2. Consider hiring a doula or midwife to provide additional support during the pregnancy and delivery. 3. Familiarize yourself with the local laws and regulations regarding birth certificates and other paperwork. 4. Take the time to learn about the local culture and customs related to childbirth and parenting. 5. Join a local expat group or online forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Santo Domingo. 6. Make sure to have a plan in place for postpartum care, including a support system of family and friends. 7. Consider taking a childbirth education class to prepare for the labor and delivery process. 8. Have a list of emergency contacts ready in case of any complications," remarked another expat in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic.
