Having a baby in the Cayman Islands is similar to the U.S.A. hospital system. The OB/GYN will advise expectant mums to find a Paediatrician well before the due date.
Dr. Smith tells mums, “the best incubator for the baby is inside mum until 37 weeks.” and ” Women have been having babies for thousands of years, and we expect a newborn to cry within a few seconds of delivery.”
The first five minutes of life are vital, and therefore a Paediatrician will always be at C sections, ventouse deliveries, twins, and all high-risk scenarios.
