Most young couples find it challenging to move overseas. This is particularly true if they plan to
have a kid in the new location. When you relocate abroad, your baby’s health, safety, and well-
being are priorities. Complications may arise from foreign healthcare systems, traditions, cultural
differences, and language barriers. Here are some suggestions to assist people who want to give
birth abroad.
Cost
You should know the associated medical costs when establishing a family while living far from
home. Before becoming pregnant, ex-pat couples are highly advised to get foreign health
insurance, including maternity. While medical expenses may differ from nation to country, many
ex-pats probably overlook that having a baby while living abroad may be expensive. Foreign
nationals should know their limitations if they want to give birth in a public hospital. Despite the
availability of hospitals, some nations charge $39,000 for delivery services and check-ups, while
others may charge a few thousand. Several nations, like China and the USA, charge around $3,000

per day for any further hospitalization. You can get direct billing recommendations from a doctor
and hospital in your foreign health insurance provider’s network.
There is often a 12-month waiting period before pregnancy costs are covered under individual ex-
pat health policies. Some plans do not provide any maternity benefits. The last thing you want to
discover is that you are not insured. The majority of group international health insurance policies
offer free maternity coverage. Read the tiny print since maternity and infant care may be pricey.
Citizenship
Most ex-pat couples ponder which country they want to raise their child when they become
parents abroad. It’s critical for international couples to choose a birth location where they feel at
ease. If specific legal conditions are completed, a child born overseas to U.S. or Canadian residents
may often receive citizenship for themselves at birth.
Care Plan
You must educate yourself on the new country’s healthcare system as much as possible. Focus on
the maternity care services you will have access to. A list of medical professionals and facilities of
your global medical plan providers should be provided. Remember to examine the hospital where
you will birth your child. Ensure that it is well-kept, capable, and reputable. Whether you are
already an expatriate or before you go overseas, attempt to locate proper child care as soon as
you learn you are pregnant. Your foreign employer can help or connect you with other foreign
couples.
