Hi Everyone, My husband and I have started talking about having a baby and even though I know it's suuuper early since I'm not even pregnant yet! .. I was just wondering if there are SAFE alternatives to hospital births in Cancun. Do birthing centers or midwives exist here? I know that the c-section rate in Cancun is really high and I'd like to avoid a c section at all costs! Thanks for any information anyone has
Have a read through of this link: http://www.cancuncare.com/forum/living-cancun-riviera-maya/17371-having-baby-cancun.html most issues are discussed there.
Yes there are a group of midwives based in Tulum willing to attend homebirths in Cancun. I have worked with them. PM me for teephone numbers or look at www.congresotulum.org There is also a Dr based at Clinica Victoria: Dr Jorge Aguilar that will attend home births- I have also attended births with him. Good Luck Tracey I was the chairwoman and trainer for Doulas in the Uk www.doula.org.uk and have attended over 70 births.
