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

Answer this Question

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

"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Irish healthcare system. Ireland has a high standard of healthcare and many hospitals in Ireland, including in Killarney, offer maternity services. You should register with a local General Practitioner (GP) as soon as you can. They will be your first point of contact for all health-related issues and can refer you to a specialist if necessary. Pregnant women in Ireland are entitled to free maternity care under the Maternity and Infant Care Scheme. This includes antenatal visits, labour and delivery, and postnatal care. Consider hiring a midwife or doula for additional support during pregnancy and childbirth. They can provide valuable advice and assistance, especially if you're unfamiliar with the Irish healthcare system. If you're planning to give birth in a hospital, visit the hospital beforehand to familiarize yourself with the facilities and procedures. Ensure that you have all necessary documents for registering the birth. In Ireland, a birth must be registered within three months. Join local parenting or expat groups. They can provide valuable advice and support, and it's a great way to meet new people and make friends. Learn about the parental leave policies in Ireland. Both parents are entitled to leave, and it's important to understand your rights and obligations. Finally, enjoy this special time. Having a baby in a new country can be challenging, but it's also an exciting adventure," said a member in Killarney, Ireland.
