Padres Primerizos - ¡Bienvenido, Santi! ...

Spanish and Go
About this episode

We’re officially parents! Just a few days after welcoming baby Santiago into our lives, we’re sharing all the details — from the surprising calm before the cesarean to the emotional rollercoaster of choosing the right doctor and hospital in Mexico. We talk about the decisions we had to make, the challenges we faced, and how it all led to a beautiful and safe birth that changed our lives forever.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why we chose a scheduled cesarean and how May’s medical history influenced that decision
  • How we selected the hospital and doctor we felt safest with
  • What it really felt like becoming first-time parents in a foreign country
