#18 Why I’m Having My Baby Abroad (and not in the USA)
I get it, having a baby and opting NOT to have it in the US may seem kind of strange, right?!
In today's episode, I'm here to tell you exactly why my husband and I have opted to have our baby in Georgia (the country) and not in our home countries the USA and Australia. While this topic may seem controversial, having a say in your healthcare absolutely matters when it comes to bringing a new life into the world.
Here's what we talk about in today's episode:
- Birthing differences in the USA and in Georgia
- What my birthing center in Georgia is like
- The expected costs of your birthing experience in the US and abroad
- Life After Birth — who takes care of the baby when you go back to work?!
- Parenting Culture Abroad
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive issues like miscarriage, death in childbirth, medical discrimination on the basis of sex and race, and the overturning of Roe V. Wade.
