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

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Hillsborough 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 Grenada. 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 high as in some Western countries. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Some expats may choose to return to their home country for the birth, so check if your insurance covers this. Find a good local doctor or midwife who you trust and feel comfortable with. They can guide you through the pregnancy and birth process in Grenada. Consider taking prenatal classes, which can help you prepare for the birth and understand the local practices and customs around childbirth. If you have specific birth plans or preferences, discuss these with your healthcare provider well in advance. Make sure you understand the paperwork required for registering the birth and obtaining a birth certificate in Grenada. This can be a complex process, especially for expats, so it's worth seeking advice from other expats or local experts. Finally, try to connect with other expat parents in Hillsborough or Grenada more broadly. They can offer invaluable advice and support, and may be able to recommend specific doctors, midwives, or hospitals," commented one expat who made the move to Hillsborough, Grenada.
