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

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Crucita 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 Ecuador. The country has both public and private healthcare, with the latter often providing a higher standard of care. Ensure 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 international travel or care in your home country. Find a good local doctor or midwife who speaks your language, as this will make the process much easier. It's also beneficial to build a relationship with them throughout your pregnancy. Research and visit local hospitals to find out what facilities they have and what their childbirth practices are. Some may not offer pain relief options you're used to, or may have different attitudes towards things like breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact. Consider hiring a doula or birth coach who can advocate for your wishes during labor and delivery. This can be especially helpful if there's a language barrier. Prepare for the baby's citizenship and passport needs. A child born in Ecuador to foreign parents is not automatically granted Ecuadorian citizenship, so you'll need to register the birth with your home country's embassy or consulate to ensure the child's citizenship rights. Finally, connect with other expats who have had babies in Ecuador. They can offer invaluable advice, support, and recommendations based on their own experiences," wrote a member who made the move to Crucita, Ecuador.
