Life / Is it hard for a foreigner to give birth in Poland? [15]

Let's pretend that... I'm having a baby soon and my husband, who is Polish, wants me to give birth in Poland. Would this work out for me? Would you rather have your baby born in Poland than in the US? ...I'm wondering.

Life / Is it hard for a foreigner to give birth in Poland? [15]

Do you speak Polish?

Nope, not really. I would imagine having my partner by my side at all times, so It shouldn't be too difficult with him by my side. :) Thank you for sharing your experience, it does help.

Good luck for the future.

THANKS! I'm sure I'll need that during labor! pchnac, pchnac!!!! hehe

In the US they'll let you labor for 45 minutes before they start telling you it's time to think about a cesarean section.

Kidding or not, you made a good point and I sure agree with it! ;D

In Warsaw, you can give birth at a private hospital for about 3,000 dollars. Very good care indeed.

I'd much rather have my kid here at a private hospital or with a midwife, than back in the States and plan on it.

I agree with both of you. I'd rather pay more for a more comfortable birth because my baby & I deserve it... pchnac, pchnac!!! sounds so painful! :XThanks everyone for your response! I very much appreciate it :)

Love / Are Polish men romantic and caring or... "plain"? [85]

In my experience, Polish men are definitely not plain. They are fun to be around with, they can be very sweet, loving, caring, romantic... ahhh maybe I just got lucky ;)
