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

"Firstly, ensure that you have comprehensive health insurance that covers maternity care and childbirth, as medical costs can be high in the Bahamas. Secondly, familiarize yourself with the local healthcare system and find a reputable doctor or midwife who can guide you through the pregnancy and delivery process. Thirdly, consider the location of the nearest hospital or medical facility, as Cat Island is relatively remote and you may need to travel to Nassau or another larger island for certain medical services. Fourthly, make sure you understand the process for registering the birth and obtaining a birth certificate in the Bahamas, as this can be different from your home country. Fifthly, if you plan to return to your home country after the baby is born, check the requirements for obtaining a passport for your child from your home country's embassy or consulate. Lastly, connect with other expats who have had babies in the Bahamas, as they can provide valuable advice and support," said another expat in Cat Island, Bahamas.
