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

"It is important to research the healthcare system in Pakistan before having a baby there. Make sure to find a reputable doctor or midwife who is experienced in delivering babies in Pakistan. It is also important to be aware of the cultural norms and expectations surrounding childbirth in Pakistan. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the laws and regulations regarding birth registration and citizenship in Pakistan. Finally, it is important to be prepared for the cost of having a baby in Pakistan, as medical costs can be high," wrote a member who made the move to Pakistan.

"It is a personal choice. Most expats working temporarily in Islamabad prefer not to have babies here, however it is possible. If you have any complications, I would not advise it though. Doctors here are not good at explaining things, and while the treatment is good, you need to be ready to ask lots of questions and not be backward in coming forward. It pays to do a lot of research first oo - about the procedures, etc, to give yourself a level of comfort. I had a friend who had 2 c-sections at the same hospital and she was happy with how it went. She didn't think it would have been different anywhere else in the world. The one thing to be careful of is the quality and professionalism of the nurses - it is non-existent. That is why I did not stay in hospital for very long. It was better to go home as soon as you could. It was clean, but the nurses are very prying, they bring your food and medication, but are not properly trained nurses," explained one expat living in Islamabad, Pakistan.
