"It is important to research the medical facilities available in Placencia before having a baby there.

Additionally, it is important to make sure that you have access to a reliable source of food and other supplies for the baby. Finally, it is important to make sure that you have a support system in place, such as family or friends, to help you during the pregnancy and after the baby is born," remarked another expat who made the move to Placencia, Belize.
"(following what other expats have done) I would suggest my friend go back to her mother country for the last month until after delivery. Simply because the infant cannot receive citizen status," explained one expat living in Placencia, Belize.
