What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Doha?

We asked expat moms who gave birth in Doha about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...

"1. Make sure to research the healthcare system in Qatar and find a doctor or midwife that you trust and feel comfortable with. 2. Consider taking a childbirth class to help you prepare for the birth. 3. Make sure to have a plan for postpartum care, such as a doula or postpartum nurse. 4. Ask your doctor or midwife about the availability of pain relief options during labor. 5. Make sure to have a plan for how you will get to the hospital when it is time to give birth. 6. Consider joining a local expat group or online forum to connect with other expats who have had babies in Qatar. 7. Research the laws and regulations regarding birth certificates and other paperwork that may be required. 8. Make sure to have a plan for how you will manage childcare and other responsibilities after the baby is born," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Doha, Qatar.

"I've heard positive and negative things about Hamad. But, I think that if you have a great doctor, regardless where you go, you are fine," commented one expat who made the move to Doha, Qatar.
