What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Tulum?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Tulum 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 Mexico. Public healthcare is available, but many expats opt for private healthcare due to its higher standard of care and shorter waiting times. Ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Some insurance policies may have a waiting period for maternity coverage, so plan ahead. Find a reputable obstetrician or midwife who speaks your language. This will make communication easier and ensure you understand all aspects of your prenatal care. Consider hiring a doula or birth coach who can provide emotional support and help navigate the healthcare system. Research hospitals and birthing centers in Tulum and nearby cities. Visit them if possible to get a feel for their facilities and services. Understand the cultural differences in maternity care. In Mexico, it's common for women to stay in the hospital for a few days after giving birth, and there may be less emphasis on natural birth compared to other countries. Prepare for the possibility of a C-section. Mexico has one of the highest rates of C-sections in the world, so discuss this with your healthcare provider. Ensure your newborn's paperwork is in order. Your baby will need a Mexican birth certificate, and you'll need to register the birth with your home country's embassy to secure citizenship. Finally, connect with other expat parents in Tulum. They can provide invaluable advice, support, and friendship during this exciting time," said a member in Tulum, Mexico.
