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

Answer this Question

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the local healthcare system in Saint Lucia. The island has a mix of public and private healthcare facilities, so you should research and decide which one suits your needs best. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Some insurance companies may have waiting periods for maternity coverage, so plan accordingly. Find a good obstetrician or midwife who you feel comfortable with. It's important to have a healthcare professional who understands your needs and can communicate effectively with you. Consider taking prenatal classes. These can be a great way to prepare for childbirth and to meet other expectant parents in Saint Lucia. Make sure you understand the paperwork required for the birth registration and passport application for your baby. It might be helpful to consult with a local lawyer or your embassy to ensure you have all the necessary documents. Prepare for the climate. Saint Lucia is a tropical island, so ensure you have appropriate clothing for you and your baby. Finally, try to embrace the local culture and community. Saint Lucians are generally very family-oriented and welcoming, so don't hesitate to seek advice and support from your neighbors and local community," remarked another expat in Canaries, Saint Lucia.
