Having given birth to her baby boy Charlie in 2006 without much comprehensive and up-to-date sources, Claire Ogier hopes to lend a helping hand to expectant mums in Spain with her website.
3) There is little support in the hospital after delivery and no health visitor system once you return home, so find someone to help with the house or younger siblings, or request a home visit from a local midwife. Women who deliver by caesarian section, which occurs at a high rate in Spain, should expect a longer hospital stay. They may also find it difficult to move around for approximately two weeks afterwards. 
8) Never be afraid to ask for help or feel intimidated by a language barrier. If you aren’t sure of something, get your partner to find someone who can understand you. Be sure to have at least one person who can speak a little English.
i am due to give birth in a few day i live in ibiza which has a lot less options than the main land.
But wish to tell everyone not to panic i am lucky as i speak fluent spanish which does help to understand everything but no worries you will always find some one who can speak english.
Also as for ceserian this is now not true as they are very pro natural birth in spain and the hospitals are very acomodating it has changed alot in the last few years one thing i will say is that the big down side is that the only pain relife is epidural but you can always take a tens machine to the hopital.
please dont be put off by peoples storyie as every one is diffrent and everyone handles pain in diffrent way just remember language barrier or not the midwife is their to help not to make you suffer
embrace the moment.
good luck
