What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Puerto Princesa City?

Answer this Question

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Puerto Princesa City 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 Puerto Princesa City. The city has several hospitals and clinics, but not all may offer the same level of prenatal and postnatal care. Secondly, consider hiring a local doula or midwife who can guide you through the process and help you navigate the local healthcare system. They can also provide valuable support during labor and delivery. Thirdly, ensure you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care. Medical costs can add up quickly, especially if complications arise. Fourthly, learn about the local customs and traditions related to pregnancy and childbirth. This can help you understand what to expect and how to interact with healthcare providers and other locals. Fifthly, make sure to have all necessary documents ready for when the baby is born. This includes your passport, visa, and any other identification documents. Sixthly, it's also a good idea to connect with other expats who have had babies in Puerto Princesa City. They can provide firsthand advice and recommendations. Lastly, remember to take care of your mental health. Having a baby in a foreign country can be stressful, so it's important to find ways to relax and de-stress," said another expat in Puerto Princesa City, Philippines.
