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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Saint Lucia. The island 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 your home country. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care and childbirth. Some insurance policies may not cover these, especially if you became pregnant before moving to Saint Lucia. Find a good obstetrician and pediatrician. You can ask for recommendations from other expats or locals. It's important to feel comfortable with your healthcare providers and to trust them. Consider where you want to give birth. The options in Dennery may be limited, so you might need to travel to the capital, Castries, for more choices. Prepare for the possibility of needing to travel off the island for certain prenatal tests or in case of complications. Some specialized medical procedures may not be available in Saint Lucia. Learn about the local customs and traditions related to pregnancy and childbirth. This can help you understand what to expect and how to navigate the system. Take care of your health and well-being. The tropical climate in Saint Lucia can be challenging for pregnant women, especially those not used to such conditions. Stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, and rest as much as possible. Finally, try to connect with other expat parents or join local parenting groups. They can provide valuable advice, support, and friendship during this exciting time in your life," said another expat in Dennery, Saint Lucia.
