From there, you can choose a gynecologist, OBGYN, or certified nurse midwife to see your pregnancy and administer prenatal care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expats covered under Mexico\u2019s public health insurance IMSS can use that to pay for their prenatal care at a public hospital, or they can use a private health insurance policy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A private health insurance policy can grant expats access to private hospitals and clinics, which often provide cutting-edge technology and multilingual staff. Private hospitals also often treat international patients, so they will be experienced in handling your expat pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mexico\u2019s Healthcare System Explained<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The healthcare system in Mexico provides good quality healthcare at affordable prices and has both a public and private sector. In the private sector, many doctors speak English, and large cities boast high-quality hospitals and clinics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare is accessible to those in Mexico through public health insurance programs like Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imss.gob.mx\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IMSS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gob.mx\/tramites\/ficha\/afiliacion-al-seguro-popular-en-tu-localidad\/CNPSS179\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seguro Popular<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or private health insurance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IMSS covers those employed by Mexican employers. Seguro Popular was created to cover those who do not qualify for IMSS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seguro Popular covers mostly the unemployed, homeless, and those with medical conditions such as pre-existing conditions that exclude them from coverage with IMSS. Both of these public health insurance programs are very affordable to the average expat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Private health insurance is a popular choice for expats because it grants access to private healthcare facilities that operate at higher standards of care than the public.

The specifics of each appointment will also depend on where you are in your pregnancy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, at your first appointment, you can expect your doctor to spend more time with you, going over your medical history and determining how far along you are in your pregnancy and your estimated due date. They will likely also give you a comprehensive physical exam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also receive an ultrasound during your prenatal appointment, but this won\u2019t happen every time unless you are deemed as \u201chigh-risk\u201d and need extra monitoring.

On average, healthcare in Mexico is significantly cheaper than healthcare in the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What medical services are included in prenatal care?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical services and tests included with prenatal care are physical examinations, blood and urine tests, and regular monitoring of blood pressure and weight. Your doctor will also regularly listen to the baby\u2019s heartbeat, measure fetal growth, and check for any signs of complications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do healthcare providers in Mexico speak English?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many healthcare providers in Mexico receive training internationally, so they often speak English. They do not all speak English, so if you are not fluent in Spanish take care to find an English-speaking OBGYN. They are found most frequently in private hospitals and clinics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does prenatal care look like for high-risk pregnancies?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have a high-risk pregnancy, you will likely receive more intensive prenatal care, such as more frequent ultrasounds, heartbeat monitoring, and fetal movement monitoring. You may also receive more frequent tests and may have to come into your doctor&#8217;s office more regularly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\"><div class='code-block code-block-73' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<link rel='stylesheet' href='https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/css\/compare-73-new.css?v1.67' type='text\/css' media='all'\/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/compare-quotes\/step-one-name\/?campSource=PP-Blog&utm_campaign=Blog\" class=\"inserter-73-link CompareNowbutton\">\n  <div class=\"inserter-73-new\">\n    <div class=\"inserter-left-box\">\n        <h3>Kickstart Your Search for the Perfect Insurer<\/h3>        \n        <div class=\"inserter-compare-box\">\n            <p>Compare over <br>50,000 Plans <br>from Top Insurers<\/p>\n            <button >Compare NOW<\/button>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    \n    <div class=\"inserter-img-box\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/readable-child\/blog-banner\/compare-box\/img\/mobile.png\" alt=\" \" class=\"banner-img-mobile\">            \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/a>\n\n<style>\n\n.inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {right: -31%;}\n@media (max-width: 1199px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    right: -20px;\n  }\n@media (max-width: 991px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    right: -10px;\n  }\n}\n@media (max-width: 768px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    height: auto;\n    width: 30%;\n  }\n}\n@media (max-width: 512px) {\n  .inserter-73-new .inserter-img-box amp-img {\n    height: 200px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expats can receive excellent prenatal care while living abroad in Mexico when they choose reputable hospitals or clinics.
