What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Mexico?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Mexico about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"First, research local hospitals and doctors, and ensure that the facility is well-regarded and accredited. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the country’s maternity laws and parental rights in order to know your rights and to ensure that your baby is properly registered with the local authorities. It is also important to ensure that you have a reliable support network of friends and family to provide both physical and emotional support during this time. Finally, be sure to retain important records, such as all medical reports and any documents related to formal registration of the baby," remarked another expat who made the move to Mexico.
