What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Bologna?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Bologna about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Bologna and the surrounding area to ensure you have access to the best care for you and your baby. 2. Consider enrolling in a childbirth preparation class to help you prepare for the birth. 3. Familiarize yourself with the local maternity and pediatric services available in the area. 4. Consider joining a local expat group or online forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Bologna. 5. Make sure to register your baby with the local authorities as soon as possible. 6.
