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

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Greek healthcare system. Greece has both public and private healthcare, and as an expat, you may have access to both. However, the quality of care can vary, so it's important to do your research and choose a hospital or clinic that suits your needs. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who speaks your language. They can help you navigate the healthcare system, understand medical terms and procedures, and provide emotional support during your pregnancy and birth. Thirdly, make sure you understand the legal requirements for registering your baby's birth. In Greece, you must register the birth within 10 days at the local municipality. If you're not fluent in Greek, you may want to hire a translator to help with this process. Fourthly, consider the cost of having a baby in Greece. While public healthcare is generally free, there may be additional costs for things like prenatal classes, private rooms, or certain medical procedures. Make sure you understand these costs and have adequate health insurance coverage. Lastly, try to connect with other expat parents in Kavala. They can provide valuable advice, support, and friendship during this exciting time in your life. There are many online forums and social media groups where you can connect with other expat parents," said a member in Kavala, Greece.
