Hi there! I have an infant (and need a night out) and would love your contact information as well!

Thank you for all the feedback regarding the situation my parents had with their $500 deposit and RentingBA. Just to conclude and answer the question that was posed - my parents were eventually reimbursed for the money they lost under the consumer protection policy of Visa. This money did NOT...

My family recently came into town for a visit and had a terrible experience with the rental company they used to rent a temporary apartment here in Buenos Aries: RentingBA (www.rentingba.com) After paying ahead of time a US$500 deposit, nobody showed up for the appointed check-in time. The...

There is a very active expat baby and mom's group here in BA. If you send me your email I can get you connected on their Facebook page. You can also find their memebers here on this thread: http://baexpats.org/womens-forum/19901-baby-mom-group.html

I am in my 8th month of pregnancy and have had a wonderful experience so far with my doctor, OB care, etc. here in BA. I can't say its the same as it is in North America - but I have been comfortable with it. I actually am a L&D and maternity nurse back in the States and have worked with many...

BittyStar, Don't worry! The medical system here is great, Aleman is wonderful and having your baby here doesn't automatically mean you're getting a C-section. I am a maternity nurse from the US and I have a business here helping English-speaking expats through the labor & delivery process...

Thanks to those of you who shared some great information! I have been looking for providers who provide home and water births - without much luck. Although I don't offer these myself, I do offer doula services as well as private or group birthing classes (antenatal classes) in English. Please...

Not sure if they work with Hominis insurance but Dr. Patrica Granja 4771-3104 is WONDERFUL and speaks excellent English. Not an OB, but great for gynecology. Also, OBGYN Dr. Juan Carlos Procaccini 5787-0147 speaks English and comes highly recommended.

I think I have already met a few of you but I just wanted to introduce myself to those of you that I don't know. I am a nurse from the US specializing in maternity and I offer antenatal classes, doula services, lactation support here in BA... in English :-) If you have any questions, need...

a quick update: I went with a friend of mine today to Farmacity. She asked for prenatal vitamins and they were given to her without a prescription. Go figure :-)

Vitamin A is the most concerning during pregnancy. As far as the other nutrients go, it is important to be getting enough (ie: folic acid, iron, calcium, DHA, etc.). Sounds like you are on the right track with already taking calcium, fish oil/DHA, folic acid, etc. However, when you do get...

Congratulations!! I am a maternity nurse and just wanted to chime in about the prenatals. Excess Vitamin A can be harmful to a developing fetus. This vitamin, along with several others, doesn't get excreted in excess, but is actually stored in fat which can build up in your system and cause...

For those of you who are (or know someone who is) looking for English-speaking childbirth education classes, labor and delivery support, lactation assistance, postpartum support, etc. in Buenos Aires, please check out the new website! www.buenosairesbabies.com ;) Thank you.
