Hola, Im just wondering if anyone has any info on this, Im a canadian living in BCS for nearly 2 years with my mexican husband. We are wanting to start a family soon, however, i know things are a little different then what im used to in Canada. Can anyone give me any info on what to expect with the doctors? we arent terribly wealthy and I am covered under basic insurance with my husbands work,

Thanks

haha, i know, i know...my concerns are pricing, language barriers and if there are complications with birth, ie C section. Also, with immigration, becasue im canandian, will my child automatically be a canadian citizen? and a mexican citizen? or just one?
Thanks, from what i hear its just basic birth is covered, however the doctors charge separately then the hospital and the ultra sounds are not covered? also i hear an epidural isnt something that is done here and neither is the discrete incision for a c section, if one is required, can anyone confirm this? also, my spanish is "passable" as well, however when im screaming in agony i really doubt it will come out in spanish! lol
and as for the immigration questions i had, seems like i cant get a straight answer out them them, HELP?
Thanks for all the info, here in cabo there arent any such mother baby hospitals, nor prenatal classes in english. we havent made up our minds yet, however its probably a lot less time consuming and costly to plan or have our baby here. babies are born all over and i just have to put my fear of hospitals abroad behnd me and start saving more money! :)
Thanks guys, i have a huge smile on my face now! I <3 this forum! :)
