What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Bundang?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Bundang about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the healthcare system in Korea. The country has a high standard of healthcare and many doctors and nurses speak English, especially in Bundang which is a popular area for expats. Secondly, consider hiring a doula or midwife who can provide support and guidance throughout your pregnancy and childbirth. They can help navigate the healthcare system, communicate with medical staff, and provide emotional support. Thirdly, take advantage of the prenatal classes offered by many hospitals. These classes can help you understand what to expect during labor and delivery, and provide useful information about newborn care. Fourthly, ensure you have all the necessary paperwork in order. This includes your passport, visa, and health insurance documents. You will also need to register the birth with both the Korean authorities and your home country's embassy. Fifthly, be aware of the cultural differences. In Korea, it's common for new mothers to stay in a postnatal care center for a week or two after giving birth. These centers provide round-the-clock care for the mother and baby, including meals, laundry, and baby care. Lastly, connect with other expat parents in Bundang. They can provide invaluable advice, support, and friendship. There are many online forums and social media groups where you can connect with other expat parents," said another expat in Bundang, Korea.
