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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the local healthcare system and find a reputable hospital or clinic in Rio Dulce or nearby cities. You should also find a good obstetrician who speaks your language and understands your cultural background. Ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity and newborn care. Check if your insurance plan covers medical evacuation, in case you need to be transported to a better-equipped hospital in an emergency. Consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide additional support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. They can help navigate language barriers and cultural differences in medical practices. Make sure to follow the recommended vaccination schedule for your baby in Guatemala. Also, be aware of potential health risks such as Zika virus, which is prevalent in Central America. Prepare for the possibility that certain comforts from home may not be available in Rio Dulce. This could include specific brands of baby products, so consider bringing these items with you or finding local alternatives. Learn about local customs and traditions related to childbirth and parenting. This can help you integrate into the community and make the most of your experience as an expat parent in Guatemala. Finally, connect with other expat parents in the area. They can provide valuable advice, support, and friendship during this exciting time in your life," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rio Dulce, Guatemala.
