Pregnancy in Istanbul

Dr. Ebru Alper at the Amerikan Hastanesi has delivered many of my expat friends' babies. She is highly recommended.

I've also heard of some people go to Fulya Acibadem Hastanesi, but I don't know which doctor.

You might want to get in touch with one of the IWI mums n' kids groups and see what other doctors/tips women may have.

Cheers,
Joy

Hi Joy,

Thank you for this info!

No problem! You're welcome!

Dr. Emre Yazicioglu in Jinemed Fulya is great!!!

Hey,congrats on your pregnancy, how exciting!! I just had a baby here in Istanbul a month ago. If you prefer a natural birth I would highly recommend dr. Kubra Taman who works very closely with the American Hospital, but she also has the flexibility to come to a different hospital if you prefer that. I'm also a member of the IWI and many other mums have had her as an obstetrician as well. Her practice is in Nisantasi. If you would like her details send me a private message :-)

Cheers,

Susanne

Thank you Susanne!

Hey there,  Congrat's to you on your pregnancy.  I have a 22 month old baby girl and i've been living here for 4 years and my Turkish husband close friends recommended my doctor his name is Gokmen Iyigun in Medical Park hospital in the Anadolu side of Istanbul in Goztepe.  I really had a wonderful nature birth.  He speaks and understands English!!! I highly recommend him!!! Well good luck in your search.
