What advice do you have for expats having a baby in Greece?
We asked expat moms who gave birth in Greece about their experiences and advice they have for other moms to be. They said...
"It is important to research the healthcare system in Greece before having a baby. Make sure to find a doctor or midwife who speaks your language and is familiar with the healthcare system in Greece. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the maternity leave policies in Greece and to plan ahead for any additional costs associated with having a baby in Greece. Additionally, it is important to research the childcare options available in Greece and to make sure you have a plan for childcare once the baby is born. Finally, it is important to build a support network of other expats who have had babies in Greece, as they can provide invaluable advice and support," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Greece.
"If you want a hospital natural birth, get good Dr's names from me,LLL or Birth Voice, if you do no want the hospital experience, but still feeling safer to be close to a medical model, go to the Birth center, again we can advise you to a good midwife, if you want a home birth, there are midwives with a good repitation for exellant home births.If you want the 5 star,'hotel', with a painless, quick c/s, go to any Dr in a private Hosp," commented one expat who made the move to Athens, Greece.
