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

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

"I recommend (if you are a first-timer) you read all you can about what the stages of a birth are, what you should be feeling at each stage of delivery, so you will feel safe and not nervous," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kolonia, Micronesia.

"It is important to research the healthcare system in Micronesia before having a baby there. Make sure to find a reliable doctor or midwife who is experienced in delivering babies in the area. It is also important to be aware of the cultural norms and expectations surrounding childbirth in Micronesia. Additionally, it is important to be prepared for the cost of having a baby in Micronesia, as medical costs can be high. Finally, it is important to build a support network of family and friends who can provide emotional and practical support during the pregnancy and after the baby is born," commented one expat who made the move to Micronesia.
