What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Rimini?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Rimini about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the Italian healthcare system. Italy has a high standard of healthcare and pregnant women are well cared for. However, the system can be complex and it's important to understand how it works. Ensure you have the necessary health insurance coverage. If you are a European citizen, you should be covered by your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). If you are from outside the EU, you will need to check your private health insurance policy. Find a good gynecologist and hospital. Ask for recommendations from other expats or locals. You can also check online reviews. Some hospitals in Italy offer tours for expectant parents, which can be a good way to familiarize yourself with the facilities. Consider hiring a doula or midwife. They can provide additional support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and during childbirth. They can also help you navigate the Italian healthcare system. Learn some Italian medical terms. While many doctors and nurses speak English, not all hospital staff may be fluent. Knowing some basic medical terms can be very helpful. Register your baby's birth with your home country's embassy or consulate as soon as possible after the birth. This will ensure that your child has citizenship of your home country. Finally, enjoy this special time. Italy is a wonderful place to have a baby, with a strong emphasis on family and a relaxed lifestyle. Take the time to enjoy your pregnancy and the early days with your new baby in this beautiful country," explained one expat living in Rimini, Italy.
