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

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

"1. Make sure to research the local healthcare system and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Consider taking a childbirth preparation class to help you prepare for the birth. 3. Familiarize yourself with the local maternity and childcare services available in Verona. 4. Make sure to register your baby with the local authorities as soon as possible. 5. Consider joining a local expat group or forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Verona. 6. Take advantage of the local culture and traditions surrounding childbirth and parenting. 7. Make sure to take time to relax and enjoy the experience of having a baby in Verona," remarked another expat in Verona, Italy.

"Italians are obsessed with anything that could go wrong. the british instead tell you Ok you are pregnant so what? millions are. come back in 9 months. The righ approach for me is somewhere in the middle, so don't get too paranoid like most italians do... (but still be carefull with your salad if you haven't had the Toxo) In my town I found great services supporting mom and baby in the first months, and mostly free. But again, don't search on the internet, you won't find. Talk to other mothers, in Italy word of mouth is key," said a member in Verona, Italy.
