Benefits of childbirth abroad and questions to ask your ob/gyn overseas

If you are a mother-to-be, you can enjoy a wide choice of child delivery destinations featuring comfortable setting and caring attitude towards women in a delicate condition. Hospital wards for future mothers often resemble 5-star hotel rooms equipped with TV, WiFi, adjustable beds, rooming-in (your baby stays with you from the very moment of his/her birth), 24/7 nurses, etc.

Therefore, the following list of benefits of childbirth abroad may become handy:

• low hospital infection rate 
• foreign citizenship for a newborn as an option in a number of countries
• scheduled equipment update 
• standardized and must-have prenatal screenings and tests 
• pain management (from traditional to acupuncture, homeopathy, etc.)

5 questions to ask your Ob/Gyn about child delivery during your first appointment at an overseas clinic:

1. What is your experience/education in childbirth? 
2. What type of pain management would you recommend?
3. What period of time should I stay in the hospital before and after my childbirth?
4. What is the cost of your services?
5. How do potential complications look like?
